Issues with registration have been resolved.

Several users are having difficulties registering for the vaccine through the CoWIN portal. Some users have not obtained their OTPs (One-Time Passwords) in order to complete their registration. Meanwhile, many users who did receive their OTPs were unable to schedule vaccination appointments due to a lack of available slots in their regions.
