U-WIN Portal:
The U-WIN portal, a replication of the Covid-19 vaccine management system Co-WIN, is set for a pan-India launch likely by the end of August.
- U-WIN Portal is aiming to maintain an electronic registry of routine immunizations.
- Currently, U-WIN is in pilot mode across all states and Union Territories, except for West Bengal.
- It captures every vaccination event for pregnant women and children under the Universal Immunization Programme (UIP).
- It will ensure timely administration of vaccine doses by digitally recording every vaccination event under the Universal Immunisation Programme among all pregnant women and children aged 0-5 years.
- The platform generates a uniform QR-based, digitally verifiable e-vaccination certificate, similar to Covid vaccination certificate, which can be accessed anytime by the citizens through a single click.
- The U-WIN is going to be the single source of information for immunisation services which will record pregnancy details and outcome, newborn registration and immunisation at birth.
- It will update vaccination status and delivery outcome, among others, on real time.
- Citizens can self-register for vaccinations via the U-WIN web portal or its Android mobile application, select preferred vaccination centres, and schedule appointments.
- Automated SMS alerts inform citizens about registration confirmations, administered doses and upcoming dose reminders, ensuring timely and age-appropriate vaccinations.
- It also facilitates the creation of Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) IDs for comprehensive health record maintenance.
- It also supports the frontline workers to digitally record all vaccination events for children and pregnant women for complete, accurate and easy record maintenance.
