In order to get the vaccine certificate, you obviously need to have gotten at least your first dose of vaccination. The ‘vaccinated’ certificate issued after the second shot enables you to travel to countries that have opened for Indians. It also lets you bypass the mandate of a COVID-19 test in some cases. Follow the steps mentioned below to download your COVID-19 vaccination certificate using the MyGov Corona Helpdesk on WhatsApp:
-
Save the number +91 9013151515 on your phone. Go to WhatsApp and search for the MyGov Corona Helpdesk bot. Alternatively, you can head to this link to open the MyGoV Corona Helpdesk Chatbot.
-
Type and send ‘COVID Certificate’ or ‘Download Certificate’ inside the chatbot on WhatsApp.
-
A six-digit OTP will be sent to the number, and it needs to be entered within 30 seconds.
-
The bot will show all the users registered on the CoWIN website with the number, and ask you to type the number of the user whose certificate you wish to download.
-
The certificate will be sent on WhatsApp in a PDF format, which users can easily download and print or save for future purposes.
-
The same steps can be followed for downloading the certificate for other users registered with the same number.
