Estonia is planning to start issuing digital vaccination certificates in April, an official from the social<\/a> affairs ministry said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“We are planning to have our certificates ready in April together with our partner Guardtime,” said Kalle Killar, undersecretary for e-health and innovation at the ministry.<\/p>\n

Killar said the digital certificates would help people both for travel<\/a>ling and in their everyday life and would be both easier to verify and more secure than paper ones.<\/p>\n

He added that a global vaccination certificate which the Estonian government is working on with the World Health Organization (WHO) would likely take years to develop.<\/p>\n

Estonia, a tech-savvy Baltic state that has served as a testing ground for innovations, has one of the highest coronavirus infection rates in Europe.<\/p>\n

Its prime minister, Kaja Kallas, is currently in quarantine after testing positive for the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

The EU member of 1.3 million people also has one of the highest vaccination rates in Europe.<\/p>\n

The European Union has announced plans for digital vaccination certificates before the summer to facilitate travel.\n <\/p>\n\n
