Useful Platforms for Covid Vaccination.

Since the vaccination has started for people over 18 years of age, people are not getting slots after registration. It is becoming difficult to find a vaccination slot through the CoWIN Portal. In such a situation, some programmers have developed the website; so that it can be easy to get information about the vaccination slot. 

Covid 19 Vaccine Tracker

This tracker keeps an eye on vaccine registration and sends an alert e-mail to the users when the slot is empty.

• For this, you will have to open google sheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NPBFLOvNpqGMKUzPEMKRczmV9nNer6Ysv8pEPhOsuPI/copy. There comes a 'Make a Copy' option. Go to its menu and click on 'Enable'.
• Here, select the 'Vaccine Alert' after completing the sign-in process. Now, choose your area Pincode, age along with Create e-mail Alert. Then this Google sheet will tell via e-mail alert every day at 8:00 AM that where is the vacancy slot for the vaccine in your area?

Under45.in

Programmer Berty Thomas has developed a website under45.in for the people of the age group 18-45. It is a helpful vaccine tracker for finding vaccine slot. This website only shows appointment for people of the age from 18 years to 45 years. On entering the name of the state and district here, one can search the nearby empty slots.

getjab.in

ISB alumnus Shyam Sundar and his friends have developed the 'getjab.in' website. This website sends alert to those people who ask for notifications related to their district. All you need to do is enter your name and e-mail id. When the vaccine slot is available, it will notify you via e-mail.

FindSlot.in

'Find.Slot.in' website can also be helpful if you want to book an appointment for the Covid vaccine. Here you can see in real-time where the vaccine slot is available.

Facebook Introduced Vaccine Finder Tool- Facebook has introduced the Covid-19 vaccine finder tool to search for a vaccine in collaboration with the Government of India.
