Breaking News cowin.gov.in server faces issue, users unable to register for COVID-19 vaccination

[console]

The registration began at 4PM today, April 28, but unfortunately people are unable to register for COVID-19 vaccine via the CoWIN website. The portal shows “server issues” when one tries to login.

Not only that, OTP is being delayed and once the six digit OTP is entered for some time in the given space on the website, the CoWIN portal shows server issues. It states, “CoWIN server is facing issues. Please try later.”

There are also times when the cowin.gov.in website doesn’t open at all and shows 504 Gateway Time-out error after a few minutes. Meanwhile, hashtag #CoWINdown has started trending on Twitter.


People waiting to register for COVID vaccine have taken to microblogging site Twitter to complain about the issue they are facing in the registration process. Well, the demand for vaccine is to be blamed for the server issues. Here’s what Twitter users are saying, take a look:

And not to anyone’s surprise. If the app cannot handle the registrations, imagine how the centres will manage supply and management against the demand.. #cowinregistration #CoWin #cowinportal #18plusvaccination #LargestVaccineDrive pic.twitter.com/9Sg2q4grgm
