A spokesperson of the Health department said here today that to further facilitate the access to Covid-19 vaccination, the Government of India has decided to include Unique Disability Identification Card (UDID) in the prescribed list of photo ID, documents for Covid-19 vaccination.
He said that the UDID consists of information such as name, year of birth, gender and photograph of the person. Hence, necessary provisions should soon be made on the Cowin portal so that the beneficiaries can upload this card and bring for the Covid-19 vaccination as photo ID. He said that this initiative has been taken to facilitate the access to vaccination for the persons with disabilities. The directions have been sent to all the Chief Medical Officers to issue necessary instructions to all concerned and publicize the inclusion of UDID as one of the permissible photo ID card for accessing Covid-19 vaccination in their respective districts.
