Book your COVID vaccination with this app
Cowin Booking is a medical application developed by Muthali Ganesh. It is a free-to-use program that automatically fills out the needed data on the vaccination registration on the CoWIN portal. With this, you can hasten the process of booking a slot on the Indian Government’s COVID-19 vaccination program.
Users must note that Cowin Booking does not replace the CoWIN website. It only works to speed up the process of filling out the data. You will still need to visit the website. You should also know that the booking website will still log you out after 15 minutes.
What does Cowin Booking do?
The CoWIN portal is a government-funded program that helps Indian citizens book a vaccination center, register their vaccination data, and remind them of their next dose. However, since it started, there have been problems with booking slots. For one, the portal automatically logs out the users after 15 minutes. Also, filling out the data and inputting the captcha code takes ages. Worse, the slots get booked in a flash.
With this dilemma, many developers came up with programs that can help users book a vaccination schedule. Among those is Cowin Booking. As mentioned, this app automatically fills out the data on the CoWIN portal, speeding up the registration process. It even inputs the captcha code fast. By using the app, you can book more than one vaccination schedule within the 15-minute session.
Cowin Booking is an extension and does not require installation. You only have to add it to your Google Chrome or whatever web browser you use. Of course, you need to have it enabled when you visit the CoWIN portal. However, note that using the app can be a bit confusing at first. Additionally, as the CoWIN portal gets updated, the app may cease to work after a few days.
Is the app helpful?
With the struggle in booking vaccination slots, apps such as Cowin Booking are very much helpful. This efficient app fills out the needed data quickly in the portal. With this, you can book a slot before it runs out. However, since the portal gets constant updates, it may not be compatible with the newly-added features. Worse, it may fail to book your vaccination schedule.
