NEW DELHI: Your Covid vaccination certificate will soon be in tune with internationally acceptable norms to be accepted as proof for various purposes like air travel, both domestic and international.
R S Sharma, CEO of National Health Authority, has told TOI that certificates being issued are being aligned with “fast healthcare interoperability resources” (FHIR). Which means that once, and if, proof of vaccination becomes a mandatory, fully-vaccinated Indians will be able to show a globally acceptable proof on their mobiles.
“Our verifiable digital vaccination certificates are downloadable and can be stored on mobiles. We are aligning this process with global standards so that they are internationally acceptable,” Sharma said.
