Digital financial services platform Paytm has announced the launch of vaccination slot booking in addition to its Vaccine Finder service on the app. Paytm users can now search, discover and also book their vaccination slots for both Covaxin and Covishield at the nearest centre through the Paytm app.
The service would help people seamlessly book vaccination slots and gain immunity, helping in fighting the ongoing pandemic. In May, as vaccination opened for all in India, the company had launched Vaccine Finder on the app, with advanced filtering options that helped the user generate leads for vaccine booking, including information such as the type of vaccine available and the fee charged for it.
The company said that over the last several weeks Paytm users have checked for the availability of vaccination slots via Paytm. With the slot booking option now available on the app, users across the country can successfully complete their vaccination process.
A Paytm spokesperson said, “It is our endeavour to help India come out of this pandemic a lot stronger. Our vaccine finder will help citizens seamlessly book slots at the nearest centre and get vaccinated.”
It is worth adding that this service is one of the many measures that Paytm has undertaken as part of its Covid-19 relief measures. Under its #OxygenForLife initiative, Paytm Foundation has donated Oxygen concentrators and is also setting up Oxygen Plants in government hospitals across the country.
