Vaccine Finder

Hello Everyone 👋, I have developed a telegram bot that sends a notification to the user about slots available on the CoWIN portal for coronavirus vaccination.
The bot updates the person via notification once the slot is made available on the CoWIN portal. The message has information on which center has the available slots, the number of slots available, and the date of availability.

Check it out!
