\\n Which vaccine should I get if I am eligible for Precaution dose?\\n
\\n \\n Only the same vaccine which has been administered to you for 1st & 2nd dose, can be administered for\\n precaution dose. In other words, if you have received COVISHILED earlier, you should get Precaution\\n dose of COVISHIELD, if you have received COVAXIN earlier, you should get Precaution dose of COVAXIN.\\n The provision for precaution doses for SPUTNIK V & ZyCOV-D Vaccines is currently not available.\\n
\\n \\n - \\n

\\n \\n - \\n

If you are fully vaccinated (received two\\n doses) and already registered on Co-WIN, precaution dose can be administered through same Co-WIN\\n account. In fact, precaution dose can only be recorded for those beneficiaries for whom the record\\n of both doses are available in the system.\\n
\\n \\n - \\n
\\n How do I can book my Precaution dose?\\n

\\n \\n - \\n
\\n I am Health Care Worker/Front Line Worker, fully vaccinated and also 9 months have been elapsed\\n after second dose, but why Precaution dose is not visible on my Co-WIN account? What to do in such\\n case?\\n
\\n \\n This may be that case if you have not been tagged as HCW/FLW on Co-WIN. Please check the beneficiary\\n type on the dashboard (Q35). You must have been received your doses from citizen category as per the\\n records available on Co-WIN. You need to visit any Government CVC along with employment certificate\\n in order to get yourself tagged in appropriate category before taking precaution dose after\\n prescribed time interval. This tagging facility is only available at Government CVCs in onsite mode.\\n
\\n \\n - \\n

\\n \\n Yes, if you are Health Care Worker (HCW)/Front Line Worker (FLW) but tagged as Citizen on Co-WIN and\\n if your age is less than 60 years then tagging as a HCW/FLW is a must (as indicated in response to\\n Q42), in order to get precaution dose. If you are aged 60+ you can also choose to get precaution\\n dose in the citizen category. However, it is suggested that you should go for correct tagging.\\n
\\n \\n - \\n
\\n What should I do, if I am eligible for Precaution dose but unable to book online appointment for\\n same?\\n
\\n \\n This may happen when you have taken 2 doses but in the account in which you are signed in, your\\n vaccination record is available for only 1 dose. In such a case, since the system does not have\\n record of both earlier doses, the “Schedule Precaution Dose” tab is not activated. Also, if you are\\n eligible for precaution dose but unable to book online appointment for same due to any reason, you\\n are required to visit vaccination center to take precaution dose through on-site/walk-in\\n appointments. Vaccinator may also help you in case Co-WIN records do not show your both vaccine\\n doses where you may be having two dose 1 certificates taken from different accounts. This feature is\\n under development and will be released soon.\\n
