Aarogya Setu to show vaccination status, will help in travel across India

Contact tracing app Aarogya Setu has rolled out a new feature to display the vaccination status of users enrolled on the platform. The government said that those who are fully vaccinated will get a blue shield on the home page of Aarogya Setu app with double blue ticks on the Aarogya Setu logo 14 days after the second dose. This will be done after verification of vaccination status from the COWIN portal. Those who have got a single dose will get a single blue border with vaccination status on their home screen along with Aarogya

Setu logo with a single tick. With the second dose, the home screen will have a double border and Aarogya Setu logo will have double tick. And 14 days after the second dose, Aarogya Setu will have a blue shield.

“All Aarogya Setu users will get the option to ‘Update the Vaccination Status’ if they have not taken the revised selfassessment. On taking the self-assessment on Aarogya Setu, those users who have taken at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine will get the tab of ‘partially vaccination/vaccinated (unverified)’ on the home screen of Aarogya Setu. This is based on the declaration of vaccination status given by the user during the self-assessment. The unverified status becomes verified after an Otpbased check from the COWIN backend.” A functionality has also been included to update vaccination status of those who have registered on COWIN with another number since COWIN allows one registered user to register up to 4 people for vaccination. “The vaccination status for such users on Aarogya Setu will be updated by checking the vaccination status through the mobile number which is registered on COWIN.”N
