#DICT Digital Vaccination Certificate

We previously reported that the Philippines is among the early adopters of WHO vaccination certificate standards. The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) has announced that the portal and mobile app for issuing digital vaccination certificates to fully vaccinated Filipinos called the "VaxCertPH" is now up and running. This occurred just two weeks after the World Health Organization (WHO) finalized the guidance and accompanying technical specifications for vaccination certificates on July 27, 2021. Hence, the DICT mentioned that the Philippines is among the early adopters of WHO vaccination certificate standards. “Even prior to WHO’s issuance of the standards for vaccination certificates, your DICT has already been working on the VaxCertPH in coordination with the DOH. Meanwhile, the DICT urges all LGUs to submit their respective Line Lists of vaccinated individuals through the DICT Vaccine Administration System (D-VAS) in anticipation of its plan to launch digital vaccine certificates.
