COWIN slot booking check: COVID vaccination in India is available for everyone above 18 years of age. As you may know, the registration and appointment are online through the government's CoWIN portal and the Aarogya Setu and Umang apps. Due to the shortage of vaccine stocks in many regions across India, there are limited slots available making it hard to book an appointment through these portals. What's worse? The government portals don't come with an option to notify you when the COVID vaccination slots are available. Thankfully, there are several third-party apps/ websites will keep track of the COVID vaccine slot availability online so that you don't have to constantly check the CoWIN, Aarogya Setu, or Umang app. These COVID slot booking notifying tools send alerts to users when a COVID vaccination slot is available in a centre near them.
Update: Online registration is not mandatory for Covid-19 vaccination anymore. Any adult can go to the nearest vaccination centre, perform the on-site registration and receive the vaccine during the same visit, per the Union Health Ministry.
