NEW DELHI: The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, has developed an online platform, in addition to a mobile application, for tracking COVID-19 vaccine delivery. It will also record data and enable people to register for vaccination.

Rajesh Bhushan, Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, addressing a press meeting on Tuesday, December 8, said that the platform Co-WIN will help monitor the entire process of vaccination. There are five modules in the application, namely, – administrator module, registration module, vaccination module, beneficiary acknowledgement module and report module.
