The government is preparing an amendment that will allow the Greek online Covid-19 vaccination systems (for booking appointments and issuing Covid certificates) to “register” those who have been vaccinated abroad, Deputy Digital Governance Minister for Simplifying Procedures Giorgos Georgantas said on Tuesday, talking to ANT1 television, ANA reports.
“If not today, then tomorrow, an amendment will be tabled by the health ministry, in collaboration with the digital governance ministry, according to which two new registers will be created: a register of those vaccinated abroad and a register of those that have recovered from Covid-19 abroad. This will provide a solution, though there must first be a processing of the certificates that will be submitted,” Georgantas said.
Georgantas stressed that there was no globally interoperable system for certificates issued by all countries, though the EU had its own that also included 16 countries outside its ranks, such as Israel, Norway, Iceland, and Turkey.
