The EU will launch the “Digital Green Certificate”, which will allow only those who have received vaccines from Pfizer, Modena, AZ, and Janssen Belgium to obtain the certificate and travel freely in the member states.
Taiwan and Palau will launch a travel bubble, while the EU countries will launch a vaccine passport for travel, allowing citizens of member states who have administered EU-certified safe vaccines, as well as foreign nationals living in EU countries, to travel freely within the EU. However, this mechanism only recognizes the four vaccines approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), not only no Russian vaccines, Chinese vaccines, of course, are also out, released or not by the countries themselves to decide, the EU does not endorse.
The EU announced the implementation of the “Digital Green Certificate” (Digital Green Certificate) program, which will allow people who have received the Wuhan pneumonia vaccine, those who have recovered, and those who have a negative test report, to travel unhindered throughout the EU with the vaccine passport in order to stimulate tourism in Europe.
Among the vaccines to be administered must be certified by the EU, including Pfizer (BioNTech Pfizer), Moderna (Moderna), AZ Vaccine (AstraZeneca), and Belgium Janssen Pharmaceutica (Janssen Pharmaceutica) NV developed vaccines, a total of four, China and Russia vaccines are not recognized. The EU also stressed that this is the basic standard for vaccines that all member states must recognize.
It is understood that this vaccine passport costs are fully exempted, but the governments of the member states pay for the relevant equipment, which is implemented until the WHO lifts the threat of the Epidemic. There are three types of certificates, including vaccination certificates, nucleic acid testing certificates and rehabilitation certificates, all with QR codes for digital signatures to prevent forgery. When countries check the certificates, they must scan the QR codes and verify the signatures, and each issuing agency (hospitals, testing centers, health authorities) has its own digital signature keys, which are stored in each country’s security database.
Some EU member states, such as Hungary and Slovakia, which use Chinese or Russian vaccines, face the dilemma of not getting a vaccine passport. Margaritis Schinas, vice president of the EU Executive Committee, said that it is up to each country to decide whether to release the vaccines, and that member states have the right to decide whether to accept other vaccines that have not been approved by the European Medicines Agency.
