Those interested in getting the coronavirus vaccine can complete the registration process by visiting the web application of the security platform or by downloading the app on their mobile phones, said NM Ziaul Alam, senior secretary, information and communication technology department.

Alternative measures will also be taken for those who do not have internet access or app-like devices, he said. “There are plans to give free registration to interested parties at the Union Digital Center,” the secretary said.

The ‘Real Time’ app can be downloaded for free ( www.surokkha.gov.bd ) to get this vaccine . After registration, it will be known from there, when to get vaccinated. However, only people over the age of 18 can take the vaccine and register. This is because there has been no clinical trial of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine on minors.

There are 16 categories in this app for identity verification, after selecting one of them you have to start the registration with the number and date of birth of the national identity card.
