Govt Plans To Issue E-Certificates To Vaccinated Individuals Once An Effective Vaccine Is Developed

Once a vaccine effective against COVID-19 is available, the Government plans to issue a digital certificate to all who receive the vaccination, reports Economic Times.

The vaccination information for each individual will be stored in the Government's DigiLocker which the Government uses for issuing and verifying documents and certificated on the cloud.

In case of a dual-dosage vaccine, it has been proposed that the individuals will be issued a provisional certificate which will also include the mention of the date for the second dosage on it. The final certificate to individuals would be issued after the completion of the vaccination course.

People will also be able to download their certificates on their smartphones, which will help a vaccinated person to travel anywhere with the ability to easily prove that she/he is vaccinated.
