Once you get the COVID-19 vaccine, be it Covishield, Covaxin or Sputnik, the next step is to head to the CoWIN portal and download the vaccine certificate. This certificate could soon become mandatory for travelling, so that makes it even more important to get your information on the certificate right.
Have you downloaded your vaccine certificate? Is your name mentioned wrongly in it? Or has the gender or date of birth gone wrong? Well, in that case you can simply head to the CoWIN portal at https://www.cowin.gov.in/ and correct these details.
Change your COVID-19 vaccine details: Check details
CoWIN has added an option to rectify the error in your vaccine certificate. This feature is called “raise an issue”. “Now you can make corrections to your name, year of birth and gender on your Cowin vaccination certificates if inadvertent errors have come in. Go to http://cowin.gov.in and Raise an Issue,” Aarogya Setu took to Twitter to announce the newly launched feature.
So now with the launch of the new feature anyone and everyone can raise a request and correct any error on your COVID-19 vaccine certificate. However, you must note that the change can be done only once, so check the certificate thoroughly at the first time and then raise a request on the CoWIN portal.
