If you have tried stepping outside your home in the recent past, you would know that your vaccination status is a key entry factor to keep you protected against the virus. Whether it is for visiting a shopping mall or boarding a train or flight, you are asked to confirm that you are vaccinated. While you can always download your COVID-19 vaccination certificate and show them, the Indian government is now making the process less complicated.

CoWIN has developed a new Know Your Customer’s/ Client’s Vaccination Status (KYC-VS) API to help businesses verify the vaccination status of their customers. It will come in handy while availing public transport, booking a hotel, and more. Instead of showing your vaccination certificate, you can now directly confirm your vaccination status.
