VaccinateMe, the COVID-19 vaccine slot finder by the fitness company HealthifyMe, is now available in ten regional languages aside from English. In a press statement, the company said the platform can now be used in Hindi, Kannada, Marathi, Gujarati, Telugu, Tamil, Bengali, Odia, Punjabi and Malayalam. In case a vaccination slot is not available, VaccinateMe now has also added an option where users can sign up for real-time SMS alerts aside from the WhatsApp option.
The SMS can be received in the vernacular to ensure those without smartphones can also easily access the information in time and make arrangements for booking their slot.
To change the language, users will simply need to tap on the language drop down option on the home page and select their preference. VaccinateMe, similar to several other COVID-19 vaccine slot finder platform, uses CoWIN API to fetch official data. However, eligible citizens can only book COVID-19 vaccine slots via the CoWIN website or services integrated into the Aarogya Setu app.
VaccinateMe is available to use via the website. Users can find slots by entering pin code or district, and the platform offers several filters to narrow down results.
