  • Next, people above 50 years, most of whom have co-morbidities, will be prioritized for receiving vaccines. This age group is further divided into two subcategories: those between 50-60 years and people above 60 years.

    People in areas with high COVID-19 prevalence as identified by states/Union Territories will be prioritized. Finally, the country's remaining population will be vaccinated depending on disease epidemiology and vaccine availability.

    They are required to upload government-issued photo identity proofs or authenticate their Aadhaar number. After registration, the time and date for their immunization are allocated.

    To note, there will be no provision for spot-registrations, and pre-registration on Co-WIN will be required.

    Healthcare and frontline workers would receive vaccines at fixed session sites—government/private healthcare facilities—where a doctor/medical officer is available. Outreach session sites (for other beneficiaries) include schools, community halls, civic offices, etc.

    Special mobile sites/teams are for remote/hard-to-reach areas, regions with higher migratory population concentration, and international border areas.

The first officer will pre-check the registrations, the second is responsible for authentication, and the third will administer vaccines. The fourth and fifth officers are responsible for crowd management and 30-minute observation of beneficiaries.
