Vodafone Idea (Vi) has announced that its customers can now book a COVID-19 vaccine slot through its app. Vi says this has been made possible with the integration of the CoWIN app with its platform. Vi users will be able to search for available vaccine slots and also set reminders for when they will be available on the Vi App.
“The integration will also allow Vi customers to filter their search results by age group, vaccine names (Covidshield, Covaxin, Sputnik V), dose, paid/free vaccine, and others, and they can book an available slot at a location closest to their address,” the company said in a statement.
“Customers registered through the Vi App will also be notified as and when the vaccine slots are available in the user’s area. This service is available to Vi prepaid and post-paid customers,” it added.
