NEW FACILITY: How to Book COVID-19 Vaccination Slot Through MyGov Corona Helpdesk DIRECTLY THROUGH WHATSAPP.
24 अगस्त 2021 को भारत सरकार ने एक नई सुविधा शुरू की जो व्हाट्सएप के माध्यम से नागरिकों को वैक्सीन स्लॉट बुक करने और निकटतम टीकाकरण केंद्र देखने की अनुमति देती है। यह केंद्रीय स्वास्थ्य और परिवार कल्याण मंत्रालय, MyGovIndia और WhatsApp के बीच एक समझौता है।
Using this method, users can skip going to the CoWIN platform and look for slots and, instead, easily book a vaccination appointment on their phones directly via WhatsApp.
However, to register a new user, the CoWIN platform needs to be used. To book your upcoming vaccination slot, follow the steps below:
1. Save the number +91 9013151515 on your phone. Go to WhatsApp and search for the MyGov Corona Helpdesk bot.
Alternatively,
you can head to this link to open the MyGoV Corona Helpdesk Chatbot on WhatsApp.
2. Type and send ‘Book Slot' inside the chatbot on WhatsApp.
3. This will generate a six-digit OTP on the respective mobile phone number. Enter the OTP in the chat bot.
4. The bot will show a list of people that are registered with the number. Choose the person whose vaccination slot you wish to book.
5. MyGov Corona Helpdesk will show nearby centres based on the pincode and the vaccination type. Users can choose a preferred date and location based on the steps mentioned in the chat bot.
All users registered on CoWIN can follow the steps to get a confirmation of their COVID-19 vaccination appointment with the name of the centre along with the date and time.
