    The government is planning to launch the updated online portal in the coming days, News18 reports.

    The eligible population - citizens aged above 60 and those above 45 but with comorbidities - will be able to self-register on the app.

  • Apart from the Co-Win 2.0 app, the beneficiaries will also have the option to register through the Aarogya Setu app.

    Further, registration windows will be available in hospitals and Common Service Centers. The registration will be free of cost.

    Notably, those aged above 45 will be required to upload a medical certificate to prove that they have a specific illness.

  • The beneficiaries will be given an option to choose the date and location of their nearest vaccination site.

    Besides, they will have the option to choose between public-run and private centers.

    The option to update age and a digital certificate will be given after the first dose of vaccination.

    However, there will be no choice between the two vaccines currently in use in India.

    The vaccine shots will be administered at 10,000 government-run centers and 20,000 private centers.

  • Meanwhile, Dr. Randeep Guleria, the Director of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), said the second phase is crucial as it can help reduce transmission of infection, decrease mortality, and also lower the chances of mutation of the virus.

    "It is important considering the recent increase in the cases...COVID-19 has not gone away. We are witnessing many super-spreading events," said Dr. Guleria.

    'Vaccination will decrease severity, duration of illness'

  • "The vaccine will help in decreasing the mortality; it will definitely help in decreasing the severity of illness, and deaths will come down. It will also, to some extent, help in decreasing the number of people getting the infection," he told The Indian Express.

  • Other details

    1.19 crore vaccinated across India until Wednesday

  • In the first phase of India's COVID-19 vaccination program, the government had set a target of inoculating around three crore healthcare professionals and frontline medical workers.

    However, only 1.19 crore people had received vaccine doses until Wednesday morning.

    India has thus far given approval to two vaccines - Covishield, developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford University, and Bharat Biotech's COVAXIN.
