All citizens over the age of 18 are now eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine as the nation enters the third phase of vaccination.
In order to register for the vaccine and book selection spaces, the central CoWIN website has been launched by the government. A list of nearby vaccination centers has already been provided on the CoWIN portal but the WhatsApp-with MyGov Corona Helpdesk chatbot, launched last year, has now been added with functionality that helps make it easier for people to seek vaccination facilities in their area.
Chatbot Helps Locate Vaccination Centers Near
MyGov Corona Helpdesk chat on WhatsApp now gives us the ability to find nearby vaccination centers. This interview was launched last year to help eliminate non-news and disseminate information about COVID-19. It crossed the 1.7 crore user milestone in just ten days of its launch. As the third phase of drug rolling continues, MyGovIndia Twitter account has tweeted that the MyGov Corona Helpdesk chatbot is now helping people find a vaccine nearby.
