The Union Health Ministry has introduced a new initiative on Sunday to facilitate citizens to get their vaccination certificates through WhatsApp. People who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 may now receive their vaccination certificate in few seconds through WhatsApp. The process has been simplified as currently, users must enter into the CoWin site to obtain their vaccination certificate.
About Vaccination Certificate
When a person receives the first dose of the COVID vaccine, the government issues a vaccination certificate that confirms a person has been inoculated. This is given immediately after the person receives the first jab. The certificate contains all the basic details of the beneficiary like name, age, gender, and also all the details of vaccination. Under the vaccination details, one can find the data like vaccine name, date of receiving the first dose, the next due date, location at which the person was vaccinated, and by whom.
As the Covid-19 vaccination certificate emerges as an important document for domestic and international travel, the central government has earlier introduced the feature that will enable the beneficiaries to correct errors in their name, birth year, and gender printed on the Co-Win vaccination certificate.
Here’s how you can request a change in the certificate through CoWin:
- Visit the official website of CoWin i.e. https://www.cowin.gov.in/
- Go to your account on Cowin.gov.in.
3.Select raise an issue under your account details. - Select correction in the certificate.
- Select the field in which you want to make corrections.
