Reuters reveals tech firms, others offer help in India’s vaccine booking

Paytm, Infosys and MakeMyTrip are among companies seeking approval in India to provide online COVID-19 vaccine bookings as the country tries to make it easier for its huge population to book shots, Reuters revealed. The government relaxed rules last month to potentially allow third-party apps to offer vaccine bookings and has taken back control of procurement from states following delays and shortages. It also faced initial problems with its own vaccine booking platform.
