How To Book COVID-19 Vaccine Slot Via Phone Call

The COVID-19 vaccination slots are open for people aged between 18 and 44 years since the past few weeks. There are no walk-ins for people in this age group to avail the vaccine. They can avail it only on registering for the COVID-19 vaccine only by booking an appointment.

Previously, we have seen how to book an appointment for the COVID-19 vaccine via the CoWIN portal, Aarogya Setu app, and UMANG app. However, a large number of people living in rural areas struggle to book an appointment. To bring relief to them, the government of India has come up with a helpline to enable booking or registration of COVID-19 vaccine slot via a phone call.

The National Health Authority (NHA) chief RS Sharma stated that it is possible to book the COVID-19 vaccine slot via helpline number 1075.
