Patiala, August 20

Thousands of beneficiaries of Covid vaccine, especially international travellers, are at the receiving end over the closure of registration on state-run app COVA as they are unable to retrieve their inoculation record.

Following the uproar by beneficiaries, health officials are said to have been telling people to get themselves registered at central government portal CoWIN afresh. Meanwhile, Dr Rajesh Bhasker, state nodal officer, said, “There is an option on the CoWIN portal to directly register the beneficiary for the second dose. Besides, we have already discussed the matter with officials of the central government, who have guided us to upload data on CoWIN.” — TNS
