Due to a flaw in the CoWin scheme, citizens sent alerts confirming they had received the first dose of the vaccine. To combat theft, the government has implemented a four-digit encryption code. Only residents who have made an online reservation for a vaccine slot will be eligible to use the new feature. The four-digit code will also be used in the confirmation SMS you get after a satisfactory appointment booking. The secret will be written on the appointment confirmation slip and then you and the vaccinator will know it.

It would also reduce the risk of impersonation and unauthorised use of CoWIN's flexibilities for promoting vaccine coverage, according to the government. From May 8, 2021, the CoWIN framework will have a new "4 digit authentication code" option in the CoWIN programme. The protection code would guarantee that data entries about a citizen's vaccine status are documented properly, as well as reducing the risk of impersonation. You must have a copy of their appointment slip (digital or physical) and/or their registered cell phone with appointment confirmation SMS. After the vaccine has been done successfully, you can receive a confirmation SMS. If one does not get the confirmation SMS, one should get in touch with the vaccinator.
