On July 26, local time, municipalities across Japan began accepting applications for the "vaccine passport". The "vaccine passport" is the official Japanese certificate showing the history of people's new crown vaccination.
If the "vaccine passport" is presented during the entry inspection of the country where the certificate can be used, the public can enjoy preferential measures such as exemption from isolation or PCR testing.
The Japanese government stated that the "vaccine passport" is currently limited to people going overseas.
As of July 21, the "vaccine passport" can be used in 5 countries, namely Italy, Austria, Turkey, Bulgaria and Poland.
In addition, the Japanese "vaccine passport" is recognized in South Korea as one of the materials required for exemption from quarantine.
