LGUs told to upload ASAP details of COVID vaccination for VaxCertPH
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) is urging local government units (LGUs) to upload accurate and complete data to the Vaccine Information Management System (VIMS) to facilitate the issuance of digital vaccination certificates through the VaxCertPH program.
DILG Secretary Eduardo M. AƱo emphasized the importance of LGUs inputting precise data to VIMS within 24 hours of vaccination to ensure the reliability of the digital certificates.
The VaxCertPH program aims to provide digital vaccination certificates that can serve as proof of vaccination for Filipinos and foreign nationals vaccinated in the Philippines, particularly for those planning to travel internationally or returning from overseas.
These digital certificates are crucial for compliance with potential vaccine certification requirements of other countries upon entry.
Currently, VaxCertPH is in its soft launch phase and is accessible only to overseas Filipino workers and foreign travelers within Metro Manila, with a nationwide rollout planned after the NCR pilot period.
