Individuals who have received their CoWin immunization certificates but have inadvertent inaccuracies in essential facts like as name, birth year, and gender can now correct them.  On its Twitter account, Aargoya Setu, the Government of India's mobile application for contact tracing and medical recommendations to restrict the spread of COVID-19, has released information on how to obtain vaccine certificates. Raise an issue using the CoWin portal.

"You can request for changes only in any of two fields out of the name, Year OF Birth (YOB), and gender. These changes are allowed only once," read CoWin portal. After then, the user can make changes to their information. After the details have been verified, they will be able to obtain an error-free certificate. The certificate, however, can only be altered once. The CoWin vaccination certificates are used for travel and to gain access to a variety of other locations.

COVID vaccine status on the portal

Previously, the government permitted persons who had been vaccinated to update their status on the Aarogya Setu app freely through a self-assessment process. On their home screen, those who have received a single dosage of the vaccine will see a single blue border indicating their vaccination status, as well as the Aarogya Setu emblem with a single tick. After 14 days of receiving the second dosage, a 'Blue Shield' with a double tick will appear on the app for fully vaccinated people. This double tick will show after the CoWin portal verifies your immunization status. Vaccination status can be updated using the same mobile number that was used to register for CoWin.
