Now Paytm customers may make their vaccination appointment for both Covishield and Covaxin at the nearest centre using the app. The move comes after the Centre released new rules for the integration of CoWIN with third-party developers late last month, making it easier for them to enable vaccine bookings through their apps.
“Paytm users can now search, discover & also book their vaccination slots for both Covaxin and Covishield at the nearest centre through the Paytm app. The service would help Indians seamlessly book vaccination slots and gain immunity, helping in fighting the ongoing pandemic,” Paytm, India’s leading digital financial services platform said in a statement.
Paytm, too, added a "Vaccine Finder" tool to its app in May to assist customers identify leads for vaccine reservations, including information like the type of vaccine available and the amount charged.
