The digital corona vaccination pass starts on Thursday in Germany – this is how you can obtain proof

Proof of his immunization against Corona on the smartphone – this should also be possible in this country from June 10th. It will also make traveling in the EU more convenient.

Update from June 9th, 8:04 p.m.: The digital corona vaccination pass is to celebrate its premiere in Germany on Monday – we have listed the answers to the most pressing questions about the new virtual document for you:

How quickly can the digital vaccination card be used?

Technically, the EU gateway is already working. Across Europe, however, the electronic platform for checking vaccination certificates is not due to go live until July 1st. Countries that are ready to go can start earlier. Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn (CDU) wants to comment on the further procedure in Germany at the federal press conference on Wednesday. A Commission spokesman said the EU vaccination certificate is already being issued in eight other member states. In addition to Germany, these are Bulgaria, Denmark, Greece, Croatia, Lithuania, Poland, Spain and the Czech Republic.

How do you get a vaccination certificate in Bavaria?

Anyone who is vaccinated against corona in a Bavarian vaccination center usually receives, in addition to the stamp in the vaccination booklet, proof on paper on which there is also a QR code. According to the Bavarian Ministry of Health, you already have a valid digital vaccination certificate in your hands. Accordingly, you could read this QR code in the CovPass app or in the Corona warning app in order to use the certificate on your smartphone, the Bavarian ministry said yesterday when asked. Test attempts by our newspaper to read the QR code into the Corona warning app, however, were unsuccessful. An expert familiar with the project assumes that the QR code may first have to be read into the CovPass app, which is currently being rolled out by the federal government. The Corona warning app could only recognize the new QR code generated in it. The ministry could no longer be reached yesterday for queries.

From Monday there should also be the possibility of having the proof issued in pharmacies. It should be possible to see which pharmacies are offering this in the coming days at www.mein-apothekenmanager.de. The Bavarian Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians was not able to answer yesterday when medical practices would also issue digital vaccination certificates. In Bavaria, too, solutions for the transmission of digital evidence are still being worked on, according to the ministry.

What if you lose your smartphone or certificate?

There is no central vaccination register. Certificates stored in an app are only saved on a smartphone. Digital vaccination records of children or partners can also be saved together on a smartphone. However, if you lose it, you have to re-read your QR code into the app. It is therefore advisable to store it safely. “Like all important documents, like the yellow vaccination certificate, you should keep the digital vaccination certificate carefully,” says the Bavarian ministry spokesman. However, a procedure for subsequent download is planned. And the yellow vaccination booklet still applies.

Digital vaccination certificate from Thursday: Corona document available soon as an app

Update from June 9th, 3:35 p.m .: Now several days earlier: The digital vaccination certificate (see first report) is to be introduced in Germany on Thursday (June 10th) instead of Monday. That said a spokesman for the Federal Ministry of Health.

“The digital vaccination card will now be rolled out step by step and available in the apps,” he added. Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) will explain the details in a press conference on Thursday.

Corona in Germany: The start of digital vaccination certificates is approaching

Our first report from June 9th : Berlin – The digital corona vaccination certificate will be launched on Monday (June 14th) in Germany. Then you can have a complete vaccination * documented digitally – and travel within the EU can be made easier. This can also be done afterwards, at doctors or in many pharmacies.

The German Pharmacists’ Association has positioned itself as a helper. He developed the website “Mein Apothekenmanager”, which uses a postcode search to list the pharmacies in the area that issue a digital vaccination certificate. This can then be checked when traveling.

The digital proof of vaccination should also be able to be displayed in the RKI’s official Corona warning app in the future. People in Germany who do not want to use a tracing app to display a digital vaccination certificate can switch to the “CovPass” smartphone app, which has no contact tracking function. According to the Federal Ministry of Health under Jens Spahn (CDU *), “CovPass” should be available in the app stores for smartphones beforehand.

Corona: EU Parliament launches EU-wide digital vaccination certificate

In addition, this Wednesday the EU Parliament gave the green light for a vaccination certificate that is valid throughout Europe. With it you should be able to prove vaccinations, tests * and survived Covid-19 * diseases. The member states now have to give their final approval to the compromise negotiated – by the end of the week. On July 1, the electronic platform for checking vaccination certificates is to be launched across Europe.

“This certificate is an important part of a great summer,” said CDU MEP Peter Liese. “We can thus ensure that the travel wave does not trigger a new wave of infections as it did last year.”

According to the Commission, more than one million EU citizens already have a digital vaccination certificate. The member states are currently creating solutions at national level, which are then interconnected via the EU platform. For holders of the certificate, the member states should refrain from quarantine and test obligations, provided the epidemiological situation * allows this.
