After Co-Win, Govt Launches U-WIN To Digitise Universal Immunisation Programme

After Co-Win, Govt Launches U-WIN To Digitise Universal Immunisation Programme: After the success of the Co-WIN platform, the government has now replicated it to set up an electronic registry for routine vaccinations. The initiative known as U-WIN has been implemented in a trial mode in two districts of each state and Union Territory in India in order to digitise the country’s Universal Immunization Program (UIP). Carrying vaccination cards of children and pregnant women, struggling to keep a tab on the next jab and other such hassles may soon become a thing of the past.

Significance of This Platform:

Digitisation of Immunisation:

For pregnant women and children, vaccine acknowledgement and immunisation card linked to ABHA ID (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) will be generated and all states and districts can access a common database to track and vaccinate beneficiaries. Besides, through the platform citizens can check nearby ongoing routine immunisation sessions, and book appointments.

All states and UTs have been sensitised on U-WIN functionalities and objectives for the pilot in 65 districts and staff and healthcare workers have been trained on all modules of U-WIN. With this the entire vaccination system including records will get digitised, easing the tracking of beneficiaries. Beneficiaries will receive certificates immediately after the immunisation programme is fully digitalized, and they can download them if they so choose. Digi-lockers will be used to store these certificates.
