We are aware that the registrations for the second phase of the vaccine drive against COVID were kicked off on March 1st.

How to register and what is the process?

- Upon entering the mobile number, an OTP will be generated. Pic: Government of India
- Citizens can register by logging in to the Co-WIN site. The page will ask citizens to enter their mobile number click on the option, �Get OTP�. The website will then send a One Time Password (OTP) to your registered mobile number.
- Once the OTP is validated, the website will direct citizens to the registration page. Citizens should enter their personal details such as the photo identity proof they will produce (to be chosen from a given list), their date of birth as mentioned in the above proof and gender. Citizens aged above 45+ years of age should enter the co-morbid conditions that make them eligible for vaccination in this phase and are mandated to carry a medical certificate at the time of vaccination.
- Once the details are entered, click on the �Register� button at the bottom right of the page.
- The system will show the �Account Details� after completing the registration process. One can add three more people linked with the same mobile number ( a maximum of four registrations for each mobile number) by clicking on the �Add More� button at the bottom right side of the webpage. Enter all the details of the individual to be included and then click on the Add button.
- After the registration process is completed, citizens can schedule their appointment by selecting the �Calendar� icon to book the appointment or click on �schedule appointment.�
- People can select the nearest vaccination centre. From the list, one can filter by entering their location � fill in your state, district, block and pin code.
- On clicking the �Search� button, citizens can see the list of vaccination centres as per the search criteria.
- Upon finding the vaccination centre of citizen�s choice, they can view the next available appointment slots and can see the date and time of the next available appointment.
- The appointment can be rescheduled at any later stage but before the vaccination appointment day. To reschedule the appointment, log into the �Citizen Registration� module with the registered mobile number and select �Reschedule.�
Can offline registration be done?
- Yes. Besides advance online registration, on-site walk-in registration can be done. Citizens can go to their nearest vaccination centre (Urban Community Health Centres (UCHCs) or private hospitals) with valid identity proof such as Aadhaar, Voter ID, driving license, PAN card, pension document with photographs, etc. for on-site registration.
- People above 45 years of age with comorbidities should carry a letter stating the comorbid conditions and any medication is taken for the same.
- As of now, the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) does not have any plans to organise special camps for super senior citizens (aged above 95) who are ailing and are bedridden.
What care should be taken before getting vaccinated?
Citizens are suggested to consult their family doctors before getting vaccinated. Those on anticoagulant drugs are generally advised to refrain from taking the tablets three days before taking the vaccine, on the day of getting the jab and one day later.

How much should private hospitals charge for vaccination?
The Government of India has permitted private hospitals to recover Rs 150 per person per dose as the cost of the vaccine. Private hospitals acting as COVID vaccination centres would be additionally permitted to recover a service charge subject to a ceiling of Rs 100 per person per dose. Hence a total amount up to a ceiling of Rs 250 per person per dose can be charged by private hospitals.
