Govt allows six members to register on one number for Covid-19 vaccination

New Delhi,Jan22: The Government has said that six members can be registered using one mobile number on Co-WIN portal for Covid-19 vaccination. Earlier, the limit was four members. The CoWIN digital platform has been developed to streamline the process of COVID vaccination for various categories of beneficiaries across the country. The Union Health Ministry said, a new utility feature has been introduced under 'raise an issue' in Co-WIN account.

Through this new feature, the beneficiary can revoke its current Covid vaccination status from fully vaccinated to partially vaccinated or unvaccinated status and also partially vaccinated to unvaccinated status. The vaccination status can be corrected by the beneficiaries, where in occasional isolated cases, the vaccination Certificates are generated due to inadvertent data entry errors by the vaccinator in updation of vaccination data of beneficiaries. The Ministry said, the changes may take 3 to 7 days after submitting the online request through 'raise an issue' utility. Such beneficiaries can get their due vaccine dose, as per the existent standard guidelines once new vaccination status is successfully d in the system.
