India is running one the biggest vaccination drives in the world. Citizens can book their vaccination slots via the government’s Cowin platform or Aarogya Setu app. There are some private apps and websites too that allow people to book vaccine slots. Users can download their vaccine certificates on the Aarogya Setu app. Now the Central government has rolled out a feature that allows users to download Covid-19 vaccine certificate from MyGov Corona helpdesk on WhatsApp.
Now, it will also allow you to download your covid-19 certificate as well. This was announced by MyGovIndia’s official Twitter account today.

The process of downloading the covid-119 vaccine certificate is quite easy. Here is how you can do it:

3. Type ‘Covid Certificate’
4. A 6 digit OTP will be generated for your number from Cowin platform
