“There are several apps that are named Co-WIN on mobile app stores and also several websites claiming to have an APK for the Co-WIN app. However, none of these apps are official apps for COVID-19 immunization,” the ministry of health noted in a tweet.

The application comes with five different modules, namely – Administrator module, Registration module, Vaccination module, Beneficiary Acknowledgement module, and Report module.

Citizens who are not frontline health workers can register for the vaccine via the ‘Registration Module’ within a month. Currently, the app will be used as a back-end software during COVID-19 vaccination drive.

“The self-registration module of Co-WIN App has not been released yet. Be wary of any fraudulent apps with similar names that may exist on different platforms,” Dr Harsh Vardhan said.
