Vaccine Certificate by Mobile Number – cowin.gov.in

Will I get an appointment after May 1?
From May 1, state governments and private hospitals will procure 50 percent of total doses directly from the open market to vaccinate the 18-44 year age group. The availability of slots will depend on the availability of doses.

Due to limited doses, several states will have their own priority groups within the 18-44 years age group. This state-specific information will soon get reflected on the cowin.gov.in when you can make appointments.

Is there any registration charge to be paid?
No, there is no registration charge.

How many people can be registered in the Co-WIN portal through one mobile number?
Up to four people can be registered for vaccination using the same mobile number.

Can I register for vaccination without an Aadhaar card?
Yes, you can register on the cowin.gov.in portal using any of the following ID proofs: Aadhaar card; Driving License; PAN card; Passport; Pension Passbook; NPR Smart Card; and Voter ID (EPIC).

Is vaccination free at all vaccination centers?
Currently, vaccination is free at government hospitals and charged at INR 250 in private hospitals for citizens aged 45 years and above. This will cease to exist from May 1, and even those above the age of 45 years will have to pay at private facilities that cost fixed by the private hospital.

For people between 18 to 44 years, the States will announce the policy relating to payment. Most states have announced that they will offer it for free at government centers.

Private vaccination sites, however, the cost will be decided by the private hospitals and you can see the price of each vaccine at the time of booking.
