There have been 79,65,720 registrations on Co-WIN today, most of these in the last three hours (16:00-19:00) and mostly of 18-44 age group. We have seen a traffic of 55,000 hits per second. System functioning as expected.

#CoWIN
is launching a new API that will make it easy for organizations/institutions to know the vaccination status of their employees, associates, customers. We believe this will help us resume socio-economic activities faster while ensuring everyone’s safety.
Building a world-class digital platform for vaccination, we have ensured CoWIN certification is compliant with the WHO-DDCC:VS data dictionary. Now, international travellers can download an international version of their certificate that reflects their date of birth from CoWIN.
Friends. Let's reconvene tomorrow. Small request, the failed Aadhaar Authentication requests (OTP's) are really draining my battery. I'm always ready for constructive discussions. If you have any suggestions please share.
Some more attempts to deposit money. Note: This was done using my Aadhaar number, not my "leaked" Bank Accounts! Sorry I am not open for bribes. Friends please look up the word "ethical", because this is not it.
Please do provide feedback and suggestions on the registration and appointment system for vaccine through Aarogya Setu or through CoWin Portal. It will help us in improving it.
Cabinet today approved the WANI project recommended by TRAI. It will create millions of inter-operable Wi-Fi Hotspots in the country and democratize the content distribution and broadband access to millions at affordable rates. This will be the UPI of connectivity services.

which aims to make healthcare affordable, accessible & available for all.
Whether it is

, UPI, Electronic KYC, digital locker, or the consent artifact. India has been building its digital infrastructure to be open, inclusive & ubiquitous. Now we are all set to revolutionize India’s

system with
#ayushmanbharatdigitalmission
Celebrating the relentless efforts of India’s vaccinators against COVID-19, we have added a ticker to show vaccinations happening in near real-time. We are currently clocking over 42,000 vaccinations/minute or 700/second. Check new feature -
#VaccineSeva
Today, we have opened Co-Win APIs for vacancies search and downloading certificates of vaccinations for third party applications. API specs can be found at .
2) This consent-based/privacy-preserving API is being offered with a webpage that can be embedded in any system/portal. This will ensure a quick and seamless integration with any system.

Dear Vijaya,
I am not trying to prove anything. I am just saying that by knowing my Aadhaar number, which by the way, is a random 12 digit number, you cannot cause any harm to me. Please understand that I am merely trying to dis-abuse the mis-information around Aadhaar.
@fs0c131y
Looks like you are not as good as you claim to be! All my bank accounts are linked to Aadhaar. Further, even if you know my bank account number, so what!
Please use the same account (ie using the same mobile number) for getting the second jab as was used by you for the first one, to get the correct vaccination certificate.

. Any news about data leaks from CoWIN holds no merit.
Now persons of 45 years or above can register for vaccination. However, if you schedule your vaccination before April 1 and you are less than sixty, you will have to have your comorbidity certificate. April 1 onwards, no certificate will be required except proof of identity.
Constructive feedback leads to betterment, but distortion of facts only leads to confusion & hysteria. For the latter, here are some irrefutable facts. Choice is built by design in CoWIN. Be it option to choose from 9 IDs (listed in images) or place, time or brand of vaccination.

Please do not go on my age. You seem to be saying that old people are poor on technology. That is a cliche and not correct.
You are insulting me for my old age. Everyone gets old. You too, will get old, like me.

Precaution dose is available for 18+ years fully vaccinated citizens at all private vaccination centers. Citizens aged above 18+ years can book an appointment in Cowin for precaution dose from 10th April 2022.

Itna darte kyon ho bhai? Disclaimer ki kya jaroorat hai? Yeh details koi state scret nahin hain. Meri date of birth Bharat Sarkar ke portal par 40 saal se chhapi hui hai. Ghar ka address thoda purana hai. Naya chahiye to main de doonga. Chahiye kya?
Now, CoWIN does not schedule your second dose vaccination appointment automatically. You should schedule it yourself as per the recommended gap between the two doses of the vaccine. This question has also been answered in the FAQs ()
@soniandtv
Thanks,
@soniandtv
. Walk-ins are permitted for 45+. Currently, walk-ins are not allowed for 18+ as a precautionary measure to prevent crowding at the vaccination centres.
The government has taken a strong step in the direction of greater ease of doing business! The announced regulatory simplification for IT enabled services (OSPs) is a significant milestone for the industry, opening up its growth potential.
I am happy to share that ABDM has touched another milestone. With 10 crore health records linked to Ayushman Bharat Health Account, we appreciate all citizens for coming forward to support our efforts in making healthcare digital in India.

It is, indeed, a fake news. I published my own Aadhaar number, as a response to a twitter post, and challenged as to what harm can be caused due to my Aadhaar number. It is not that my Aadhaar number was ‘leaked’.

Yes, I agree with you completely, Rajat. Data privacy is a big and very important issue in a digital world. I am one of the most vociferous supporter of that. However, the only thing I am saying is that Aadhaar does not violate privacy.
Another milestone in India's fight against
