Coronavirus | CoWIN geared up to accept 1 crore registrations per day after April 1

System upgraded ahead of roll out of vaccination for all over 45 years

India’s CoWIN portal, for Covid-19 vaccine registration, has been ramped up to accept on one crore registrations and record vaccination of 50 lakh persons per day, R.S. Sharma, Chairman, Empowered Group on COVID vaccination told The Hindu. Mr Sharma explained that the system has been geared up to accommodate the registration rush and vaccination load anticipated from April 1 when vaccination will be offered for anyone 45 years and above. The system shows a registration of over 6 crore beneficiaries as on Sunday. “Upgrading the system is a continuous process and with the increase in load, the system has been acclimatized to take on the load that is expected. We have seen the trends so far and the number of people seeking the vaccine has grown. The system is operating at four levels — the one that is open to public (for registration), the verification level, platform management (open to hospitals giving the vaccine) and the certificate generation,” Mr Sharma said.
