The Buenos Aires Government reported this Friday that the option is already enabled “Gender Identity Law. Modify my data”so that people who changed their gender identity on their DNI can access the vaccination certificate and specify the change there as well.

The coordinator of Provincial Program for the Implementation of Policies on Gender and Sexual Diversity in Health, Carla Giulianoexplained that the initiative arose in response to a large group of people who reported that they had no way of accessing the vaccination certificate with their identity.
“This is part of a line of work that we have been maintaining, which is to start producing health information that takes into account the gender identity perspective in the records,” Giuliano stressed.

In fact, in the registration for the vaccination campaign, although the DNI information appears, the gender identity record was included. A tool that provided, for the first time, information on the diversity group and the trans group, which has been making a historical claim about the visibility of their identity in health records.
