Covid Testing for International Travel into and out of Ireland: Discussion

Mr. Keith Comiskey:

Initially when booster doses became available throughout the EU, some countries did start issuing digital Covid certificates to their citizens who had been vaccinated. What was happening in some cases was that a different format of the certificate was being issued by different countries, so the EU established a standardised process so that the certificates would all look the same and contain the same types of data in the exact same format. That has now been agreed at European level and we are now working through the process to ensure we are able to issue updated digital Covid certificates for people who have had a third or booster vaccine dose in Ireland.
