The digital vaccination card should come. To do this, as a vaccinated person, you first need digital proof of this and the possibility of entering it into your mobile phone. The government is now planning more contact points here that can issue the digital vaccination certificate.
The vaccination priority has been lifted since June 7th and anyone can be vaccinated against Covid-19. At least in theory. As with any vaccination, this vaccine must also be entered in your vaccination certificate . But what if you can’t find your vaccination certificate? For this case, but also for easier handling of the vaccination at home and abroad, the digital vaccination card should come.
The problem with this is that people who were vaccinated early did not receive a QR code with which they can enter their Covid-19 vaccination in the app. Doctors and vaccination centers should be able to change that retrospectively, so the idea. Now, however, pharmacies are also being made responsible, as the Federal Association of German Pharmacists’ Association (ABDA) reports.
DIGITAL VACCINATION CERTIFICATE FROM THE PHARMACY
So that you can use the digital vaccination card CovPass , you need the digital proof of your vaccination. This must be completely completed, i.e. the vaccination protection must be fully available. If you did not have one at the time of your vaccination, you can also get the digital vaccination certificate in pharmacies from June 14th.
You can either ask pharmacies in your area of residence or search for pharmacies throughout Germany that issue the vaccination certificate on the mein-apothekenmanager.de portal . Pharmacies, in turn, have to register with the DAV association portal so that they appear in the corresponding list. In order to be able to generate the proof, pharmacies as well as doctors are connected to the central server of the Federal Ministry of Health.
“In the first few days, the number of pharmacies that make the offer will probably still be limited. However, we assume that the number of pharmacies will quickly reach the four-digit range, ”explains Thomas Dittrich, Chairman of the German Pharmacists’ Association (DAV).
VACCINATION CARD APP COMES LATER
The CovPass vaccination card app is not yet on the market. So far there has only been initial information about the app, but a start has not yet been determined. But as Spiegel Online now reports, CovPass should be available for download nationwide before June 14th. According to Bayerischer Rundfunk , the digital vaccination certificate will start across Europe on July 1st. The Corona warning app also offers the digital identification option; Version 2.3.2 is required for use.
