The U-Win portal is one of the important steps towards halving the number of zero-dose children by 2030.
U-WIN is an online vaccine management portal for childhood vaccination, similar to CoWIN used during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Children, up to the age of six years, and pregnant mothers are registered on U-WIN using government ID like Aadhaar, and their mobile phone numbers.
Upon registration, records of all 25 shots given to a child — and the two given to pregnant mothers — can be added.
The digital vaccine certificate can be downloaded by parents using their registered mobile numbers.
It also registers all births, the three vaccines against polio, hepatitis B, and tuberculosis administered at birth, a child’s birth weight, and any physical deformities observed at birth.
