Problem
Cannot book online slot for 2nd Dose for my friend as during his time, COWIN Portal was not fully functional.
A lot of you must be facing the similar issue that before COWIN was launched, people who got vaccinated with 1st Dose are not able to book Online slot for 02nd Dose. Because when you register them on the COWIN Portal through any mobile number with all the details like Aadhar Number, Aadhar Name, Date of Birth...it considers that person FIRST time and request them to book a slot for their 1st Dose.
So the main problem is that COWIN Portal should automatically show "Partially Vaccinated" or Due Date or anything as soon as I enter the information (Like Aadhar Card or whichever details was submitted during the 1st Dose of Vaccination) for the same person so that 2nd Dose slot can be booked online. Therefore, this issue is legit and should be corrected ASAP.
Appropriate Solution
Integrate the details of the all the people like "Name, Date of Birth, Vaccination Date, Vaccination Centre and etc." on COWIN Portal who got vaccinated before Online booking criteria. And when adding the new beneficiary/member through mobile number, Under the "Proof Of Document", it should ask for "Beneficiary Reference ID" also like other prelisted options. So that the servers/system can fetch the details of that person who got 1st Dose and automatically requests for 2nd Dose when booking online.
Alternate Solution
Create a separate tab/button for people with 1st Dose Certificate to scan and upload it on COWIN Portal so that they can be given option to book for 2nd Slot when successfully verified by the Medical/Govt. Official or AI System.
