The Union Health Ministry on Tuesday had said that anyone aged 18 and above can walk in to the nearest vaccination centre to get registered on the CoWIN digital platform and get inoculated against COVID-19.

It is not mandatory to pre-register online or book an appointment to get the vaccine, the government had said.
