Introducing COVID-19 Vaccine Finder to help you find a slot for vaccination at the earliest

We are proud to announce the launch of COVID-19 Vaccine Finder on our Mini App store. This timely launch of the feature, will help you check the availability of vaccination slots for a specific date by individually entering different PIN codes or district details along with the age group (18+ or 45+). If there are no slots available, you can even select the option for real-time alerts from Paytm, which will send you a notification as soon as slots open up. This automated process reduces the hassle and ordeal of refreshing the platform for new slots repeatedly. The data is sourced on a real-time basis from the CoWIN API, which is the official government platform to book slots for vaccination.

We are committed to enable maximum numbers of citizens to get vaccinated in a timely manner and avoid crowding at the centres. The Government of India launched the world’s largest mass vaccination drive for citizens ranging between 18 to 44 years of age from May 1, 2021. Experts believe that vaccination along with strategic lockdown will help flatten the curve and build the country’s herd immunity at a faster pace.

With the launch of COVID-19 Vaccine finder, we hope that our users can avoid all hassles and just check real-time availability of slots directly via the Paytm app and get the jab at the earliest.

Paytm spokesperson said, “We have introduced a new feature to find COVID Vaccine slots in the nearby locality and set for alerts when new slots open up. We believe that with the combined efforts of Government, organizations, and citizens, we are on the right track to recovery. Our priority is to build collective resistance to the deadly virus as a nation, thus catalyzing the process of herd immunity.”
