Vaccine passports coming soon

People vaccinated against Covid-19 in the Faroes will soon be given a digital vaccination passport.

The verification receipt system is currently being developed by the hospital service and will be available in paper and digital formats.

Once Google has completed its standard vaccine passport for international use, the Faroese passport will also be available on Android smartphones.

Health minister Kaj Leo Holm Johannesen says the Faroese vaccine passport will most likely be equivalent to the one recently introduced in Denmark.
