Jammu, Dec 27: Children in the age group of 15-18 years will be able to register on the CoWIN app from Jan 1.
“We’ve added an additional (10th) ID card for registration – the student ID card because some might not have Aadhaar or other identity cards,” said Dr RS Sharma, CoWIN platform Chief.
The information on the registration process was announced two days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that vaccination against COVID-19 for children between 15-18 years will start from January 3, while “precaution dose” for healthcare and frontline workers would be administered from January 10. The decisions came amid rising Covid cases linked to the Omicron variant of the virus.
