To bring relief to the citizens, the government has announced a new helpline to enable booking/registering vaccine slot via phone call.

National Health Authority (NHA) chief RS Sharma said that people will now be able to book the COVID-19 vaccine slot with the helpline number ‘1075.’

While many living in rural areas are having issues with online access for booking slots, Sharma (as quoted saying to ANI) said that “all common service centers partnering with the government will now register/book slots for vaccination in rural areas.” He further noted that whether it is a VVIP or a normal citizen, everyone has access to the same data about vaccination.
