The vaccination drive in India has been consistently gaining
scale, providing a sense of relief to our frontline workers,
elderly and those with co-morbidities. A big section of those
eligible have successfully scheduled their appointments after
providing relevant details electronically, either through the
Aarogya Setu app or the Co-Win website online. At the same time,
periodically there have been reports of glitches and errors on
these electronic platforms.
In this background, we look at the question of how legally
secure an individual's electronically collected vaccination
related data is, and who might be liable for any leak or loss of
such individual's information.
