India from tomorrow will begin the second phase of COVID-19 vaccination that will cover 10 crore people across the country.

Here is how you can access the app and register yourself

Cowin 2.0 can be accessed in three ways. You can go to cowin.gov.in, the website and look for the tab where self-registration is allowed (will be live only after the second phase is kicked off)

The app can be accessed through the Aarogya Setu app as well as a separate tab.
 

The app can be downloaded from the Google play store.

If one does not have access to the internet, spot registration is also allowed in this phase. But all beneficiaries will be registered mandatorily on the application.

As one registers himself or herself through a government ID, it will be authenticated through OTP.

The Co-WIN app can register as many as four family members.

Vaccination certificate will also be generated through this app.

This is the first time that the application through which the government has been registering beneficiaries since January 16 is going public. There also looms a threat of fake sites, applications trying to dupe people. Hence, the government has been urging people to only follow official information. Moreover, vaccine shots will be available at private hospitals. The government has fixed the price of vaccines at ₹250 per shot and has also released a list of hospitals, which will become vaccination centres from tomorrow.
