DICT eyes availability of COVID-19 vax certificate in October
The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) is targeting to open the VaxCertPH portal to the public by October, which will serve as the country's digital system for issuing Covid-19 vaccination certificates.
The VaxCertPH portal has already undergone a soft launch in the National Capital Region (NCR) and Baguio City.
DICT Undersecretary Emmanuel Caintic explained that the soft launch allows local government units (LGUs) sufficient time to complete and correct vaccination data.
He also highlighted that the Philippines is among the first nations to establish a vaccination data system that complies with the World Health Organization's (WHO) standards.
