Conclusion
The central government has recently introduced a new digital platform called ‘CO-WIN’ for COVID-19 vaccine delivery. 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. The CO-WIN platform will also be used to send real-time temperature details of storage facilities to the main servers.
