Germany has started rolling out a digital vaccination pass that can be used across Europe as the continent gets ready for the key summer travel season.
The country’s health minister said vaccination centres, doctors’ practices and pharmacies will gradually start giving out digital passes to fully vaccinated people.
The CovPass will let users download proof of their coronavirus vaccination status on to a smartphone app, allowing them easy access to restaurants, museums or other venues that require proof of immunisation.
The vaccination passport should be available to everyone in Germany who is fully vaccinated by the end of this month, Health Minister Jens Spahn said.
