UDID Card
• For ensuring a smooth and effective COVID-19 vaccination drive, the Central Government has written to the states and UTs to include the Unique Disability Identification (UDID) Card as a Photo ID while registering on Co-WIN 2.0 platform.
• It will ensure a smooth and effective COVID-19 vaccination drive.
• UDID was allowed with the aim of helping disabled persons to access Covid-19 vaccination. Earlier, as per guidelines for Co-WIN 2.0, seven prescribed Photo IDs were specified and prescribed for the verification of beneficiaries for vaccination.
• The UDID project was implemented to create a National Database for persons with disabilities (PwDs). It issues a Unique Disability Identity Card to each PwDs.
