    How to get availability alerts?

    Since the vaccination for 18+ age group started, India is running short of vaccines. People who want to book are not able to find slots in the app.

    One tool users can try is a website called Under45.in created by developer Berty Thomas. Targeted particularly at users in the 18-44 age bracket, Under45 has a feature that will alert users on Telegram when a vaccination slot is available in a centre near them.

    Go to under45.in

    Enter your state and district and you will get a link to join the telegram channel of your area.

    Tips

    Tips to book an appointment slot

    • Subscribe to the telegram channel of your area.
    • Try booking through Aarogya Setu app as it does not ask you to fill a captcha.
    • Usually slots are made available during 7 PM to 10 PM.
    • Stay logged into Co-win, either through Co-win portal or Aarogya setu app.
    • The session times out after 10 mins. Keep re logging in & keep your session active.
    • As soon as you get a telegram alert, pick the pin code from that & do a search based on pincode.
    • Once booked do confirm that you have an appointment slip.

    Things to note when going for vaccination

    • Wear a double mask.
    • Reach the hospital 10-15 minutes before your slot.
    • Maintain social distancing.
    • Keep the ID proof that you used for registration & the appointment slip, even soft copy is fine.
    • Keep cash handy if you have booked a paid slot, many hospitals are accepting payment by cash only.
    • Keep a pen with you as you may have to fill hospital's own registration or patient declaration form.
    • If you face any side effect, do not panic. Usually side effects of vaccination go away in a day or two but if they persist do consult a doctor.
