You can correct your details on vaccine certificate through CoWIN

Now you can fix any errors that may have inadvertently crept in on the vaccination certificate like name, year of birth or gender.

A new update to the CoWIN portal has allowed vaccine recipients to correct these errors on the website.

"Now you can make corrections to your name, year of birth and gender on your Cowin vaccination certificates if inadvertent errors have come in," the official handle of the Aarogya Setu app tweeted on Wednesday.


The government has also allowed those who have been vaccinated to update their status on Aarogya Setu app.

A 'Blue Shield' with double tick will appear on the app for those who are fully vaccinated, after 14 days of the second dose.

The CoWIN vaccination certificates are important as they help in ease of travelling. The new guidelines issued by government will link certificates of those who have plans to travel abroad for educational or job-related purposes with their passports.
