According to the manufacturer, the immune card as digital proof of vaccination in card format is accepted across Europe.
However, there is one shortcoming compared to apps like CovPass.
Most citizens in Germany own a smartphone.
This is currently used more often than usual by many.
Because wherever the 2G regulation prevails, proof of vaccination or recovery must be presented.
That's why long queues are currently forming in many places in front of theaters, cinemas and restaurants.
Most of them use an app for proof of vaccination, which can be downloaded to a smartphone * via Playstore
.
The following free apps are available here:
CovPass
Corona warning

The vaccination certificates can easily be uploaded via the app.
But what if you don't have a smartphone?
This group is interested in the new immune card, which can be easily carried in a wallet in credit card format.
It is currently available in many pharmacies - but not free of charge.
