COVID-19 Vaccine Facilities Test Aadhaar-Based Facial Authentication In Jharkhand

Jharkhand has tested Aadhar based facial authentication for over 12,000 people at Covid-19 vaccination centres across the state. The contactless facial scan is being tested by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) and all vaccinators have received training for using the feature. "This feature can be used to overcome the challenges caused by fading thumbprints and iris scans," said KK Soan, Jharkhand Health Secretary.
