To ease the Covid 19 vaccination in the country, the Government of India had offered a CoWIN app, through which people can book vaccine slots. But, being an app, sometimes there is a problem in booking slots when more people book slots at a time.
To make this process easier, the government app had allowed the addition of many private apps on its platform. Through which users can easily book their vaccine slot. The first payment app to launch it was Paytm.
