The National Vaccination Plan presented a new tool through which vaccination status can be immediately and safely demonstrated.
It is a certification which has a QR code, which, when scanned, allows the data recorded on the vaccination schedule to be viewed. The document can be obtained by completing a form on the web page vaccinate.gob.do.
According to the authorities, the new document does not replace the vaccination card, and in a first stage it will only be available to people over 18 years of age.
Regarding the registration process, they explained that, after completing the form, citizens will receive by email a unique number to validate their personal data and later, obtain via the web the proof of their vaccination status in this new version.
This initiative gives continuity to the actions established in the National Vaccination Plan launched on February 15 of this year 2021.
The authorities specified that the certificate will be available to all residents who have been inoculated with at least two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
This digital tool will remain in constant evolution in accordance with international guidelines and standards.
They reported that the document can be printed and downloaded in PDF or image formats. It is configured to be saved in the Apple Wallet or Wallet Pass application for Android.
