It is now easy to locate a vaccination centre and book a vaccine-appointment. The Ministry of Health and MyGov announced that the MyGov Corona Helpdesk on WhatsApp now allows users to locate their nearest vaccination centre and book their vaccine-appointment.
Ctizens can save the WhatsApp number +91 9013151515 on their phones to contact MyGov Corona Helpdesk chatbot, start a chat by typing ‘Book Slot’ and send it to the number. This will generate a 6-digit one-time password on the respective mobile phone number. Users then choose a preferred date and location, based on the pincode and vaccine type. All users can follow this sequence to get a confirmation of their centre and day of their vaccine appointment. The MyGov Corona Helpdesk on WhatsApp, since its launch in March 2020, has emerged as one of most authentic sources of Covid-related information during the pandemic and served as a critical instrument in fighting the public-health crisis for over 41 million users across India.
