COVID-19 vaccination: Here's how you can get your certificate online

Vaccines are so far the most important defence against COVID-19. The COVID vaccine certificates are also important documents. You may need them to travel beyond the boundaries of the country. Also in some cases, you might get privileges such as additional interest on fixed deposits.

From April 28, registrations will begin for vaccinations on those between 18 and 45 years.

So, do not forget to download the certificate.

You can download this important document just using your registered mobile number.

Step 1: Download Aarogya Setu app on your smartphone.
