Organisations can now find out the vaccination status of their employees and hotels can see the inoculation status of their guests as they check in.

The government today said CoWIN had developed a new API to allow institutions to know the vaccination status of employees, associates and customers and to expand safety nets and resume work.

“This consent-based and privacy-preserving API is being offered with a web page that can be embedded in any system or portal,” RS Sharma, chief of CoWIN, said.

The government said to achieve the above there was a need to enable an Aadhaar like authentication service for the status of vaccination through CoWIN. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
