According to the proposal, which came as a temporary order for three months, the information in question is valid for a person who has been vaccinated, a person who has not received a single dose of vaccine and a person who has received a first dose, but has not yet received the second dose.
The details will also be passed on to entities, such as local authorities or government ministries, to help the Ministry of Health encourage people to get vaccinated, such as through an individual request to find out the reason for the non-vaccination, or by offering assistance with getting to the vaccination site.
It is also emphasized in the proposal that "a prohibition will be expressly prohibited to apply pressure regarding the use of the authority of the authority or the ministry on the person who seeks to be encouraged to be vaccinated."
In addition, the bill includes the authority of the Director General of the Ministry of Health to require medical institutions and public bodies personal information and contact details of people who have been vaccinated or may be vaccinated, to promote the national vaccination campaign, for example for transparent patients who fail to obtain vaccines. .
