U-WIN: A Game Changer In The World Of Vaccination

 The government of India has recently introduced a digital platform, especially for vaccination programmes named the Universal Immunisation Web-enabled Network (U-WIN) as part of India’s Universal Immunisation Programme. The digital program was designed so institutions and people can effectively manage their vaccinations. U-WIN was made after the success of CoWIN which saved millions of lives during the drastic COVID-19 pandemic.

The digital platform brings a lot of new features like tracking vaccinations so that one can receive their vaccinations timely. It acts as a boon, especially for pregnant and lactating women and children.

The Universal Immunisation Web-enabled Network will comprise various features for users’ benefit. Some of the key features are mentioned below:

• Digital Registration: People can digitally register themselves and their families online on the U-WIN platform.

• Appointments: Vaccination appointments can be scheduled through the U-WIN platform hence, eliminating the need to visit hospitals and wait.
