The registration for the third phase began on April 28 for those aged 18 and above. Ram Sewak Sharma, Chief of CoWin portal where eligible people have to register themselves, said the government is expecting the daily registration numbers to double from the existing 50 lakhs.

Sharma explained that after a person registers on CoWin portal, they then have to get an appointment for the vaccination. People between the 18-44 age group will have to take an online appointment for vaccination as no walk-in facility has been allowed to ensure social distancing.
