Highlights of 3rd phase of COVID-19 vaccination
• The nationwide COVID-19 Vaccination drive was launched on 16th January, 2021.
This is now to be exponentially expanded to the following age-groups from 1st March,
2021:
i) all citizens above 60 years of age, and
ii) those within the age bracket of 45 to 59 years with specified co-morbidities
• With a citizen –centric approach, the fundamental shift in this phase is that citizens
in the identified age groups, as also those healthcare workers and frontline who have
been missed out or left out of the present phase of vaccination, can select vaccination
centres of their choice.
• Secondly, the private sector hospitals will be involved as COVID Vaccination centres
• All COVID Vaccination Centers (CVCs) will be health facilities as under:
1. Government health facilities such as PHCs, CHCs, Ayushman Bharat Arogya
Karnataka empaneled hospitals, Taluk hospitals, District Hospitals,
Government Medical College Hospitals.
2. All Private Hospitals empaneled under Central Government Health Scheme
(CGHS), Ayushman Bharat- Pradhan Mantri Jan Aarogya Yojana (AB-PM
JAY) and Ayushman Bharat Arogya Karnataka Schemes.
• These COVID -19 vaccination centres (CVCs) will have:
a. Basic cold chain equipments for storing the vaccine vials
b. Adequate space for the vaccination process
c. Own team of vaccinators and staff;
d. Adequate facility for management of any AEFI cases.
• All beneficiaries, regardless of the mode of access, are advised to carry any one of
the following photo ID documents:
• Aadhar Card
• Electoral Photo Identity Card (EPIC)
• The Photo ID card specified at the time of registration in case of
online registration (if not Aadhar or EPIC)
• Certificate of co-morbidity for citizens in age group of 45 years to
59 years (signed by a registered medical practitioner)
• Employment certificate/ Official Identity Card – (either but with
photo and date of birth) for HCWs and FLWs
Registration will be through 3 routes:
(i) Advance Self-Registration:
The beneficiaries will be able to self-register in advance by downloading the CO-
Win 2.0 portal and through other IT Applications such as Arogya Setu etc.
(ii) On-site Registration:
Facility of On-Site registration allows those who cannot self-register in advance to
walk into the identified COVID Vaccination Centres and get themselves registered
on-site and then vaccinated.
(iii) Facilitated Cohort Registration:
a. Under this mechanism, the State/UT Government will take proactive lead.
Specific date(s) for COVID vaccination will be decided where target groups
of potential beneficiaries will be vaccinated.
b. The State/UT health authorities will ensure that that the target groups are
actively mobilized and brought to the vaccination centres. ASHAs, ANMs,
Panchayati Raj representatives and Women’s Self-Help Groups (SHGs) will
be utilized for mobilizing the target groups.
• Under all the above three routes, all beneficiaries would be captured on Co-WIN2.0
platform and would be issued digital QR Code based provisional (on receiving the
first does) and final (on receiving second dose) certificates.
• These can be downloaded from the link shown in the SMS the beneficiary shall
receive after the vaccination. Print out of these certificates can also be taken from the
Vaccination Centres.
• Vaccination will be free of charge at the Government Vaccination Centres.
• Those taking the COVID vaccine at any designated/empaneled private health facility
will have to pay Rs.250 per person per dose which includes Rs.100 service charge
and Rs. 150 which would be deposited to Government of India specified account.
