Alongside inaugurating multiple health sector projects worth Rs 12 850, PM, Modi has also launched the U-WIN portal for the Universal Immunization Programme for the reproductive and child health initiative under the National Health Mission. The portal will help infants and pregnant women as it digitises the vaccination process. It will ensure that life-saving vaccines for pregnant women and children till the age of 16 years against 12 vaccine-preventable diseases are administered on time. The diseases covered include measles, rubella, diphtheria, pneumococcal pneumonia, meningitis and pneumonia caused by Hemophilus Influenza Type B, pertussis, polio, rotavirus diarrhoea and hepatitis B. In certain districts of India, vaccination will also be provided for Japanese Encephalitis. The portal is fashioned after the COVID-19 vaccine management system, aka Co-WIN. The portal will maintain an electronic registry of routine immunisations. 

How does it work?
The U-WIN portal records every vaccination event and generates QR-based, digitally verifiable e-vaccination certificates that can be accessed anytime. You can self-register through the U-WIN web portal or mobile app. You can also select the vaccination centre of your choice and schedule appointments. Once registered, it will send SMS alerts to confirm registrations and reminders for future doses. The system will also aid in creating the IDs for your Ayushman Bharat Health Account. To register on the U-WIN portal, log in to this website. Self-registration is not mandatory for routine vaccinations. On-the-spot vaccinations during ongoing sessions will also continue to be available.
