- Enter the OTP in the WhatsApp chatbox with MyGov. The chatbot will confirm the candidate’s name. Select the option, and users will get the COVID-19 vaccination certificate in seconds.
In the WhatsApp chat window, if more than one person is registered, the user will be given an option to choose for whom do you want to download. You will have to type out the certificate you want. The WhatsApp Chatbox will send you your COVID-19 vaccination certificate which you can download and take a printout for future use.
