A new update on the CoWIN app allows you to register over 6 names using the same mobile number. Previously you could register only 4 people under the same number, now the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has increased the number to 6.

The Ministry also mentioned that it has bought various new features on the CoWIN app through which the citizens can change their current vaccination status in case they are entered wrong.

“The vaccination status can be corrected by the beneficiaries, wherein occasional isolated cases, the vaccination certificates are generated due to inadvertent data entry errors by the vaccinator in updation of vaccination data of beneficiaries,” said the ministry.
