The application for the immunity certificate can now be downloaded

The application “substituting” the plastic card proving protection against coronavirus infection is now available for download. The app is available here (after logging in).

The app will also be available on mobile phones with Android and iOS and will include the name of the vaccinee, the date of the vaccinations, and the type of vaccination – which is not on the plastic card-based security certificates.
