#International Certification of Vaccine for COVID-19 WHO

The Bureau of Quarantine (BOQ) now issues the International Certificate of Vaccination or ICV for COVID-19 in the Philippines. ICV serves as a vaccine passport, particularly for international travelers (OFWs, seafarers, and tourists). Under International Certification, clients may book an appointment for getting Duplicate/Re-issuance of ICV, International Certificate for Polio, and International Certificate for COVID-19.
