Coming soon: A website to book your vaccine

A website where persons could register their names and obtain a prior booking to obtain the vaccination for COVID-19 will soon be introduced by the Information and Communication Technology Agency (ICTA), officials said.

The website will be launched as a pilot project next week from the Army hospital and thereafter will be made available for the public to register themselves.

The website will provide details of the nearest location where the vaccine could be obtained, the date and the availability of the vaccine type.

Accordingly, people will be able to book a time to obtain the vaccine and call over at the centre at the given time.

People requiring the second dose of the vaccine too could register by giving in details of the vaccine they had obtained earlier.

The website provides facilities to get a print out of the certification after obtaining both doses. A QR ( Quick Response) Code will also be made available so that when people travel overseas all vaccination details could be obtained by scanning the code.
