Twitter has added a new prompt in the timelines of users to help them get correct vaccination information. The new prompt appears at the top of users' Twitter feeds for both iOS and Android users.

“As COVID-19 vaccinations become more widely available, we want you to have access to the latest vaccine info in your country. This week you’ll see a prompt in your timeline that links to sources about vaccine safety, efficacy, and news from public health experts,” Twitter said.
This prompt will appear on Twitter on its Android and iOS apps and the shape of the box is quite big as it can take half of the phone's screen. The name of the box is “Covid-19 Vaccines: Know the facts”, the Zee Media Bureau reported.

To know about the COVID-19 vaccines, one needs to tap on the link in the card and then you will be redirected to a Twitter events page which will further inform you about the company’s collated information on the vaccine from reliable sources.

The page informs about several queries regarding the COVID-19 vaccine which includes vaccine effectiveness, potential side effects, different vaccines and variants, advice for pregnant people, getting multiple vaccines at once, and more.

After that, one can see various tweets from resources like the World Health Organisation informing about the different COVID-19 vaccines. This Twitter feature comes in the aftermath of India’s next vaccination drive which initiates from May 1 for people aged between 18 and 45.

The central government announced it will begin the vaccine registration process for all above 18 years of age from 28 April (tomorrow). Everyone eligible will be able to register for a vaccine on the government’s Co-WIN portal on www.cowin.gov.in or the Aarogya Setu app, launched last year.

Until now, only people above 45 years of age were allowed to take the vaccine. Before visiting the hospital for the first dose users will need to register for the COVID-19 vaccination online. Once the registration process for the phase 3 COVID vaccine begins on April 28, users can head to the CoWIN portal and Aarogya Setu app to register.
