How To Get A Free Certification?

With the rollout of the vaccine, more and more Filipinos have completed the COVID-19 vaccination. Getting vaccinated is very important for our kababayans bound for abroad. In almost all other countries, expats have to present a certificate of COVID-19 vaccination to be allowed entry to their host country.

With this new platform from DOH, our kababayans can get their certification quickly. At the moment, this service is initially available for NCR residents. The information presented here is from the YouTube channel of Nickoloko Vlogs.

You could also confirm with your employer or country of destination for other health declaration requirements. Some countries still require a so-called yellow card for proof of vaccination. If you are heading to any of these countries, you still need to request an appointment with the government agency providing this kind of card.
