The Enhanced Covid-19 Vaccination Certificate with QR Code is now available in Laos.

[ASEAN NOW]

 

Laos' health authorities have introduced a new upgraded Covid-19 immunization certificate with a QR Code, allowing for increased legitimacy and digital verification.

 

The QR code on the Covid-19 immunization certificate, according to a report by the Center for Information and Education for Health, will ensure that the certificates are legitimate and can be more easily checked, as well as being more useful while traveling overseas.

 

The new QR Code vaccination certificate was unveiled last Friday in the presence of Dr. Phonepaseuth Ounaphom, Director-General of the Department of Hygiene and Health Promotion.

 

The Ministry of Health developed the QR code on the Covid-19 immunization certificate in partnership with the World Health Organization and other development partners to aid in verification and record-keeping.

 

Before the QR code is developed and printed on the back of the vaccination certificate, the recipients' personal data and vaccine information will be entered into the Covid-19 vaccine database.

 

A vaccination certificate with a QR code will now be given to all new vaccine recipients.

 

Those who have already been vaccinated against Covid-19 and obtained a vaccination certificate without a QR Code will need to wait for instructions on how to obtain a new version.
