CoWIN Crashed: Twitter Flooded With Complaints As Registration Opens For 18+

The centre has allowed all citizens over 18 to get vaccinated from May 1. Previously only healthcare workers and frontline staff, and those over 45, were allowed to get the shots.

Twitter has been flooded with messages of the CoWin app and website crashing or otherwise malfunctioning as people over 18 (and below 45) rush to register themselves for coronavirus vaccinations. Registration for this phase of the national vaccination drive was to begin at 4 pm. OTPs coming very late in CoWIN, so timed out.Aarogya Setu logging in with difficulties but showing server error#Shotsfor18Pluspic.twitter.com/pdILIMrvCU Is anyone able to register for vaccination from 1st May? Both Cowin & Arogya Setu ain't working. #registration_for_18 Not sending the OTP only how does one proceed. Even Cowin not working. The long wait for that elusive OTP begins. I think its rather clever that they have mentioned I'll get my OTP, without specifying exactly when. Smart product design.BTW, if someone gets my OTP please let me know. We can trade. #CoWin#cowinregistration#CowinApp#vaccinationpic.twitter.com/UjXWjdlfQK @MoHFW_INDIA your Cowin portal website & Arogya setu app not working for registration if 18+ years for vaccination registration..
