Paytm Rolls Out New Feature to Track the Availability of Covid Vaccine

Digital financial services platform Paytm launches new feature that would enable the users to track and get real-time alerts about the Covid vaccination slots in their city on the Paytm App.

Paytm’s new Covid-19 Vaccine Finder has been launched on its Mini App store. This platform would aid the citizens to check the availability of vaccination slots for a particular date. It also allows them to filter the slots based on location and age. The Users could enter different PIN codes or district details along with age group (18+ or 45+) to find slots.

The finder tracks 780 districts in India for vaccine slot availability in one’s locality, the company said. In case the slots are saturated for the near future, users can select the option for real-time alerts from Paytm once any slot is free. They can receive alerts when new slots open via Paytm Chat.

The required information is sourced on a real-time basis from the CoWIN API where a slot could be booked to take vaccination.

Furthermore, the Government of India had also opened up the vaccination drive for citizens between the age group of 18 and 44 years starting from May 1, 2021. The company intends to benefits the citizens by maximizing the numbers of citizens to utilize the service, and get vaccinated in a timely manner as well as to avoid crowding at the centres.

A Paytm spokesperson says, “We have introduced a new feature to find Covid vaccine slots in the nearby locality and set for alerts when new slots open up. We believe that with the combined efforts of Government, organisations, and citizens, we are on the right track to recovery.”
