VaxCertPH soft launched for OFWs and overseas travelers
The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) launched VaxCertPH, a national digital vaccine certificate system, on September 6, 2021.
The VaxCertPH website, accessible at https://vaxcert.doh.gov.ph/, aims to consolidate local government unit-issued vaccination cards into a unified digital format.
The online process for obtaining a certificate involves four steps: reviewing data privacy, entering personal details, confirming information, and finally receiving the certificate.
Despite the system's launch, the author experienced an issue where their vaccination record was not found on the platform.
After attempting to submit a scanned copy of their LGU-issued vaccination card and government ID, the author has yet to receive an email confirmation or their digital certificate after more than 72 hours.
