We have also incorporated security measures such as encrypting data, and the manufacturer that developed it is aiming to introduce it at event venues.

It is a mechanism that allows you to confirm that you are in the vaccine.

The company aims to introduce it to 1000 places such as tourist facilities and event companies by next year.
