The passport will be available on PC Covid-19 or Digital Health apps. If people don’t have the apps, they can get their passports by accessing the Health Ministry's portal and filling out necessary information, and they will be sent by email.
The passport entails information like one's name, date of birth, the disease which they're vaccinated against, the number of shots, and the date of vaccination. Data will be encoded into a QR code. The QR code will expire after 12 months. Following their expiry, people will be notified and a new QR code will be created instead.
As of Sunday, Vietnam had administered over 206 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine.
The country is set to vaccinate children aged between 5-11 this month.
