The e-pasports are issued through "So suc khoe dien tu" and “PC-COVID” app.

The passports, which meet the standards of the World Health Organisation and the European Union, are being used in 62 countries and more in the time to come.

The MoH has asked its agencies and medical service suppliers of ministries and sectors to review and verify information of vaccinated people and make necessary adjustments before April 30, ensuring the accuracy of Covid-19 vaccination data. Meanwhile, localities are requested to complete this work before May 5.
