Amid the massive coronavirus wave in India, the Union government from May 1 is going to launch its ambitious and most crucial phase of the coronavirus vaccination drive which is one of the largest immunizations drive in the world, for all above 18 years.
At 4 PM today, registration for Covid-19 vaccination is to begin for all above 18 years. Everyone above 18 years of age can register for vaccination against Covid-19 using the CoWIN platform, Aarogya Setu app and UMANG App from 4 pm on Wednesday.
“Registration for 18 plus to begin on http://cowin.gov.in, Aarogya Setu App and UMANG App at 4 PM on 28th April. Appointments at State Govt centers and Private centers depending on how many vaccination centers are ready on May 1 for Vaccination of 18 plus,” Aarogya Setu tweeted.

Under phase three of the vaccination drive, from May 1 everyone above 18 years of age will be eligible to get vaccinated against COVID-19, said the Central government on April 19.
It also liberalised the vaccination drive to allow states, private hospitals and industrial establishments to procure the doses directly from manufacturers.
