The health ministry’s official COVID-19 assistance chatbot MyGov Corona Helpdesk can now be use to book a vaccination slot via WhatsApp.
This chat bot will now allow users to book vaccination slots for their first and second shots and get an appointment via the instant messaging app.
This feature comes after the MyGov Corona Helpdesk recently got the ability to download a soft copy of the vaccine certificate.
WhatsApp says that so far over 32 lakh certificates have been downloaded by users across the country.
The MyGov Corona Helpdesk is a chat bot that is available on WhatsApp.
This new service allows users to book vaccination slots based on the pincode they feed in.
It prompts you to pick a preferred time and date.
Users can skip going to the CoWIN platform and look for slots and easily book a vaccination appointment on their phones via WhatsApp.
