We have been hearing about the booster dose for a long time, now the wait is over for those who are waiting for this.

They are the only ones who don’t make their foot back even during the pandemic, in order to know the Booster Vaccine Registration, have some patience and keep reading.
For the current scenario, senior citizens and frontline workers are eligible for the booster dose, the booster dose is now known as the precaution dose. Our social helpers such as Healthcare Worker, Nurses, Doctors, etc, and Senior citizens who are above 60 years can apply for the precautions dose. Eligible candidates can directly visit the COVID-19 vaccination centre to get the third dose of vaccine or precaution dose.
One thing that you should remember is that the Frontline worker or Senior citizens will be only able for the third dose if they have taken both (two) doses of the vaccine. Being a Senior Citizen or Frontline worker and fully vaccinated with two doses is not eligible criteria, it must have passed 39 weeks or 9 months after the second dose of vaccination. Citizens who had registered for pre-vaccine will find an option of “Precaution Dose” in the CoWIN dashboard, if you or any of the members had registered itself on the portal then surely you are going to get such an option.

Travelling to Netherlands to visit my daughter who is ill. I am 53 yrs old. Need a booster dose. How can I get an appointment. Please help.
hi,
I am in same boat, please tell me how to apply for Booster shot to travel abroad ?
I took Astrazenica 2 doses alongwith my Spouse at Melbourne, Australia , having no registration in Indian Cowin app obviously.
I am afraid , if we can take Booster/ precautionary dose here at Kolkata.
Already rushed from pillar to post. As a matter of fact, nobody, even in most highly concerned circle, there is no idea as to how this can happen now in India.
Our immunity level would fall after some time ,as already 5 months has gone after 2 nd dose and not only people like us as international returnees, people around us also will stand vulnerable.
Indian Health Authy should in no time take up the issue. Regards !
I am just completing 60 by 5th Aug 2022. Second dose date was 2.6.21. completed 9 months. Am I eligible for booster dose.

COWIN shows NIL slots for 45+
Though slots available for 18+ there it says not applicable for person
While booking slot for Booster Dose, getting message “please provide valid precaution dose”. What to do?
I am getting the same message.
Try from Cowin website instead of application it will be successful and you will not get the error message
great, this worked.
The same error message I am getting in Arogya Setu. As suggested above, I went to the Cowin portal, where I get an error message reading: “Your appointment has been scheduled along with other members. To book a new appointment, please cancel the existing one and try again”. The fact is that I did not do any booking previously nor have I added other family members. The Arogyasetu and the cowin portal first pages tell that the booster dose is not scheduled.
I m also getting same msg
Try from Cowin website instead of application it will be successful and you will not get the error message
Same reply i also got
