This week, we hear of reports where some people’s vaccination certificates are not accepted in certain other countries.
It must be the most frustrating feeling. Having received your two Covid vaccine, secured a vaccination certificate and travelled abroad, only to find out your documents aren’t accepted in certain countries. You’d think after being plunged into the pandemic 20 months ago, we would have learnt from our mistakes. Yet, government continue to fumble when it comes to meeting international standards on a number of aspects where shortcuts cannot be tolerated.
On travelling to Denmark for work, field application scientist Roberto Pereira tweeted he was shocked South Africa was still on the high-risk list.Said Pereira: “Our vaccine certificate is not really recognised there, either. I can only travel between my place of work and the hotel. I’m not there for a holiday.
I don’t think they are recognised by the EU?” The department of international relations and cooperation’s response? Government were still finalising the third – and final – phase of the vaccination certificate that will be used for international travel.The final phase, according to government, requires a lot of crypto security, which is expensive.
