The Govt of India has added a new feature to its CoWin platform that will help offices, cinema halls, hotels, restaurants, airports, train stations, and other public service providers to check and verify the vaccination status.

This new feature will keep off the need for a physical vaccination certificate.

To check the vaccination status of any individual first, they have to give his or her phone number along with their name, after which they will receive an OTP on their registered mobile number.

This will allow the third-party entity to check the vaccination status of the individual.

A new feature “Know Your Vaccination Status” has been enabled on the CoWIN digital platform. This will help to verify/retrieve a citizen’s vaccination status/details as per the authorized rights of the verifying entity by Co-WIN/MoHFW,” said the government of India in a statement.

The statement also added that “The service could be utilized by a service provider (private entities like travel agencies, offices, employers, entertainment agencies, etc, or government agencies like IRCTC, Govt offices, etc.) for facilitating a service requested by the citizen.”

Here is how you can check the vaccination status of any individual:

Step 1: Go to the official CoWin website — cowin.gov.in
