Vaccination proof? PH mulls over ways to prove inoculation status in borders

MANILA - The Philippines is coordinating with the World Health Organization and other countries on what proof of COVID-19 vaccination should be presented in borders, a Cabinet official said Thursday.

"Wala tayong problema pag dating sa science... Ang concern lang po natin kung 'yung nagsasabi na bakunado na sila from abroad ay totoong bakunado," Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles told ABS-CBN's TeleRadyo. While several countries have been issuing vaccination cards, Nograles said border control officials may still have a hard time verifying the authenticity of these items.

"Pero kung galing kang abroad, hindi namin alam kung bakunado ka o hindi so we have to assume na hindi ka bakunado," he said.
