"Ready For Large Numbers": CoWIN Chairman on Vaccine Registrations

Registration began for those above 18 on http://cowin.gov.in, Aarogya Setu App and UMANG App at 4 pm on Wednesday.

With registration having opened for all adults for COVID-19 vaccination on Wednesday, National Health Authority CEO RS Sharma has said the CoWin app and designated platforms will display the prices given by different entities and which hospital is offering which vaccine and at what price. In an interview with ANI, he said all information will be made available to people and NHA will continue to announce as and when states come on board. Noting that the registration started at 4 pm today, he said "people must know, making registration is one part and getting an appointment is the other". "The appointment will be based on the facilities available. The programme is to start on May 1. There may be situations where some states will come on May 1 whereas some will be able to come later. The visibility in bookings or vacancies will be available as and when facilities come on board. So people should have patience. We are creating a separate search facility to see the vacancies available," he said.
