There will be a new mobile app as well with the same name that will allow people to register for the vaccine. The CO-WIN app is yet to be available for smartphone users and it is expected that it will be publicly available soon.

The platform will be used for recording vaccine data and will form a database of healthcare workers too. All COVID-19 related data necessary for the delivery of the vaccine is presently being uploaded on the CO-WIN platform.

The app will have separate modules for administrator, registration, vaccination, beneficiary acknowledgement and reports. Once people start to register for the app, the platform will upload bulk data on co-morbidity provided by local authorities.
