"universal vaccination card" for all fully vaccinated travelers, a co-chair of the government's pandemic task force said on Thursday., Karlo Nograles, co-chair of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases, bared that they have formed a small group together with the Department of Foreign Affairs to work with other countries in establishing a set of uniform travel guidelines for fully vaccinated individuals here and from abroad.
According to Nograles, the Philippines and other countries are still waiting for the WHO to look into the matter. "In fact, may panawagan nga tayo, maraming bansa ang may panawagan sa WHO for a universal vaccination card na digital na may QR code para di na tayo nagkakalituhan,"[Translation: In fact, we and other countries are urging the WHO to have a universal vaccination card which is digital with a QR code, so there will be no confusion.]
In April, WHO rejected the proposal to make vaccination passports a prerequisite for travel, citing unclear efficacy of vaccines in preventing transmission and the limited global supply of doses. It noted, however, that it is open to possibly changing its stance on vaccine passports in the future.
I hate to think gusto na naman pagkakitaan yan. EU & Saudi are discriminating people vaccinated with china-made. How do we know western countries will not do the same? So, how useful is it going to be for many Filipinos who received china-made?
There already is one. At least 60 years old.
Good luck with Sinovac
