Online registration or appointment booking not mandatory to get Covid shot: Govt

The Centre on Tuesday said pre-registration for Covid-19 vaccination through online registration and prior booking of appointment is not mandatory to avail the service. The government said anyone, aged 18 years and more can ‘walk-in’ for vaccination.

“Anyone, aged 18 years or more, can directly go to the nearest vaccination Center where the vaccinator performs the on-site registration and provides vaccination in the same visit. This is also popularly known as “walk-ins”,” the government said.

The government said facilitated registration through the Common Service Centers (CSCs) on Co-Win is one of the many modes of registration. The facilitators, like health workers or ASHAs, mobilise beneficiaries in rural areas and urban slums for on-site registration and vaccination directly at the nearest center.
