1 Understanding Vaccine Certificates

Once you receive your vaccination, your information will be updated in the Electronic Health Book.

The COVID-19 Vaccine Certificate will include your personal details, the number of vaccine doses you’ve received, and a QR code for verification by medical staff.

– Individuals who have received their first dose will be issued a yellow certificate.

– Those who have completed two doses will be given a green certificate.

Medical centers can use these certificates to manage local vaccination campaigns and monitor the health of vaccinated individuals. Moreover, this certificate will eventually serve as a COVID passport (green or yellow COVID card).

Therefore, if there are any errors on the certificate, it is crucial to correct them promptly to safeguard your rights.
