In case of errors in Vaccine Certificate, the vaccinator can rectify it: Health Ministry

If you have been following our coverage on editing errors in the Covid Vaccine certificate, you are a victim. In a recent update, the ministry dismissed the claim of users who have not received certificates after vaccination. It said that the reports were “incorrect and unfounded”. But many users have complained that they haven't received messages to download their vaccine certificates.

In other problem cases, users have been victims of biographical errors like name, gender, age, etc. According to the PTI report, the health ministry stated, “In case any errors are noticed in the certificate, the same should immediately be brought to the attention of the vaccinator, who can then rectify.”

The ministry added, “It may be possible that vaccinator has not updated the beneficiary's vaccination status at the time of vaccination. This may lead to a person to not get a vaccination certificate from the CoWIN system. To eliminate this issue, CoWIN system will soon provide features to remove such errors.”

Further, in case you have received both doses, you can file an official complaint with the tech team of Co-WIN. CiOL has have exclusively reported how users can edit their personal details in the vaccine certificate:
