Two Covid-19 vaccines have been approved by the Drug Control General of India (DCGI)’s approval for restricted emergency use. Serum Institute of India and Bharat Biotech are ready to supply vaccines for the first phase of the vaccination which will include frontline workers followed by people who are above 50 years old. For further vaccination process, the central government has introduced an application named CoWIN (Covid Vaccine Intelligence Work).
The IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on December 23, 2020, announced a challenge for strengthening the CoWin system which will be a digitised platform for the roll-out of the vaccine in the country. Prasad even announced a cash prize of Rs 40 lakh and Rs 20 lakh respectively for the top two contestants.
CoWin app availability
First of all, the CoWin app is not functional yet and if you have downloaded any app from Google Play Store or Apple’s App Store, it is not going to work. You should refrain from downloading such apps or provide them access to your personal data.
“Some apps named ‘#CoWIN’ apparently created by unscrupulous elements to sound similar to upcoming official platform of Government, are on App stores. DO NOT download or share personal information on these. #MoHFW Official platform will be adequately publicised on its launch,” it said in a tweet.
In the first two phases of the vaccination process in India, frontline workers will get the vaccine. This list includes medical professionals who have been tirelessly working since the Covid-19 pandemic struck India. They will be followed by people over 50 years of age as they are more at risk of contracting the novel coronavirus.
