Berlin - The Corona warning app is intended to help fight the corona virus. Now the app should soon get a new feature. The digital European vaccination certificate is to be integrated into the app by the end of June. Users should then be able to use the Corona warning app and a digital vaccination certificate to prove that they have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19. This would eliminate the need to install the CovPass app, which is currently being developed by the Robert Koch Institute and IBM.

For the digital vaccination certificate, as soon as all vaccinations have been received, users receive a QR code that must be scanned with the app.

With the integration of the vaccination certificate, among other things, travel should be made easier.

When crossing national borders, for example, users only need to show the forgery-proof QR code in the app.

This confirms either a complete vaccination or a negative corona test.

In addition to travel, the digital proof can also prove vaccination protection or a negative test in restaurants, shops or at events.

Due to the falling corona numbers in Germany, the nationwide emergency brake has now been overridden in all federal states.

Digital vaccination pass as an extension of the Corona warning app: mandatory or voluntary?

The proof is to be issued in Germany by authorized people in vaccination centers, doctor's offices and hospitals.

It is not yet clear how people who have already been vaccinated should receive the vaccination certificate.

The document with the necessary QR code is expected to be available where the vaccinations were administered.

"Various options are being examined to subsequently create digital vaccination records," said the Ministry of Health.

The digital vaccination certificate should not be compulsory.

According to the Federal Ministry of Health, “the digital vaccination certificate is only a voluntary and additional offer”.

A vaccination against Covid-19 can still be proven via the yellow vaccination certificate in paper form.

On July 1st, the so-called “digital green certificate” is to be launched across the EU.

With this digital proof, users in all EU countries plus Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Iceland should be able to prove the vaccination or test status.
