COVID-19 vaccination: Paytm users can now find, book vaccine shots inside app

Digital payments and wallet service Paytm on Monday announced that its app now supports booking of vaccination slots for users, adding new functionality to its existing vaccine center locator tool that was recently introduced by the company last month.

Announced on Monday, the new vaccine slot booking feature will allow users to quickly book a slot for vaccination after locating a centre that is nearby. The booking will be done via CoWIN, integrating with features offered by the government to developers to connect with the vaccine booking platform, as Livemint reports.

Users who are looking for a vaccination slot for either Covishield or Covaxin will be able to find the nearest vaccination centre using the app, then book a slot if one is available.
