ANNOUNCED (Q35). Asks the place where the person received COVID-19 vaccination. NEW in 2027 and unprecedented — the first health/vaccination item in an Indian census, reflecting the pandemic that itself delayed this census from 2021. Reported consistently across accounts of the 14 Aug 2026 notification; privacy commentators have flagged it among the items expanding the census's personal-data footprint. Confidence: high that the item exists; exact wording (place vs status) reported as 'place of COVID-19 vaccination' by Civilsdaily/shabariseva and 'vaccination status' by some outlets — mark wording as not fully settled.
