CoWIN has started displaying badges on user accounts that indicate whether they are fully or partially vaccinated. The Indian government is also adding to the CoWIN platform by releasing the COVID-19 tracking portal open-source software.

CoWIN has begun putting badges on user profiles on the site that show whether they are fully vaccinated or partially vaccinated. In addition, the Indian government is expanding the CoWIN platform by making the COVID-19 tracking portal open-source software. In July, the platform was demonstrated at the CoWIN Global Conclave, and 142 countries were said to be interested in purchasing it. The technology not only keeps track of immunizations in real-time, but it also keeps track of vaccine waste.

Cowin will begin displaying fully/partially vaccinated badges — which will look as a shield — alongside a user's COVID-19 vaccination status, according to National Health Authority CEO Dr. RS Sharma. 

When you login in to cowin.gov.in with your registered cellphone number, the shield will appear.

Separately, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared in July at the CoWIN Global Conclave that CoWIN would be made an open-source platform and made available to any government that requires it for inoculation campaigns. Now, according to a tweet from the Prime Minister's Office, the government has made the CoWIN platform open-source, allowing anyone to use it for free.

When CoWIN was first announced as an open-source platform in July, India had already provided around 350,000 doses. The country has already administered over 1 billion doses, with the amount of injections being published on the CoWIN platform on a regular basis. CoWIN is a component of the electronic vaccine intelligence network, which collects data on immunisation programmes in real-time. CoWIN expands on this by providing a cloud-based IT solution for COVID-19 vaccine planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation in India.

CoWIN also September expanded on this by providing a cloud-based IT solution for COVID-19 vaccine planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation in India. A press release on the PIB website announced the new CoWIN KYC-VS API. This functionality will allow the CoWIN platform to provide an Aadhaar-like authentication service for vaccination status. Once this API is incorporated into a company's system, it may easily inquire about a person's immunisation status. The person will be asked to input their phone number and name. They will then be given an OTP, which they must enter.
