4 Vaccination Appointment Trackers For Live Alerts

Vaccination Appointment Trackers

Vaccination for all adults between the ages of 18 and 44 has now started, and people can register online easily on a number of platforms. But it is very difficult to find the right slot for your vaccination.

Slots are filled up very quickly, and searching for them through the CoWIN portal manually to find an appointment is cumbersome and very slow. This is most likely because of the massive number of people trying to use the platform to get vaccinated.

However, there are several developers who have been creating online resources to make it simpler for people to figure out when the next appointment is available, to make it simpler and quicker to book a COVID vaccination through the CoWIN platform.

These sites send alerts to users using email or chat services like Telegram to let them know when the next appointment is available near them. Although the registration process on CoWIN is quite simple, Vaccination Appointment Trackers resolve some of the hassles of booking an appointment by reducing the amount of time spent searching for slots. While these sites offer alerts to an open slot nearby, you will still have to check the CoWIN portal to confirm an appointment.

Vaccination Appointment Trackers only help you find slots, not book slots. These alerts are real-time, so users will have to act fast.
