The Government of India has official announced to begin vaccine registration process for all above 18 years of age from 28 April. Everyone eligible will be able to register for vaccine on the government’s Co-WIN portal on www.cowin.gov.in or the Aarogya Setu app, launched last year.

Until now, only people above 45 years of age were allowed to take the vaccine shot. MyGovIndia took to the microblogging site Twitter and announced that the phase 3 will begin on May 1 and registrations for vaccination will begin on April 28 via CoWIN website and Aarogya Setu app available on both App store and Google Play store. Notably, there’s no app for CoWIN, hence, the registration is done only via the official website.

It should be noted that before visiting the hospital for first doze users will need to register for the COVID-19 vaccination online. Once the registration process for phase 3 COVID vaccine begins on April 28, users can head to the CoWIN portal and Aarogya Setu app to register.
