How to Get a VaxCertPh Covid-19 Vaccination Certificate?

What is VaxCertPH?

The Department of Health of the Philippines issues a vaccine certificate known as VaxCertPH (DOH). The digital vaccine certificate complies with the electronic World Health Organization criteria (WHO).

The VaxCertPH helps Filipinos accurately reflect their status as having received all recommended vaccinations. The vaccination certification provides access to a vaccine passport to Filipino travelers who are going abroad. This vaccine passport is also recognized in other countries. VaxCertPH will include the vaccination date, location, vaccine type, and QR code.

Over 94 nations and territories accept the VaxCertPH, making it one of the most commonly accepted vaccination certificates worldwide. The EU Digital Covid Certificate (EUDCC) system has integrated the vaccine certificate, and it is accepted and recognized throughout the European Union (EU) by them.
