The Aarogya Setu mobile app has now been upgraded to also indicate a person’s vaccination status. Users will now get Blue Ticks and Blue Shields on their Aarogya Setu app account on getting fully vaccinated. The new ticks and shield will show up once the user has taken both doses.
“Now your Vaccination Status can be updated on Aarogya Setu. Get yourself vaccinated – Get the Double Blue Ticks and Get the Blue Shield,” Aarogya Setu tweeted on Tuesday.
Aarogya Setu, the ‘Government of India’ contact tracing app, was launched in April 2020 to track Covid-19 infected people. The green status on the app was a mandatory requirement for boarding a flight and entering several other public places. The application uses Bluetooth technology and the personal contact number of a person to mark them as either Covid-19 positive or negative.
Apart from the Co-WIN digital platform used for Covid-19 vaccinations, the government has said that the Aarogya Setu app could also be used by the beneficiaries to register themselves and also download vaccination certificate.
