Around 70% of the Philippine population have been inoculated against the original strand of COVID-19, but the number of people who fall prey to the virus is still on the rise since the ease of the restrictions. The pace of infections seems to show no sign of slowing.

While the proportion of the population that must be vaccinated against the disease to achieve herd immunity is still unknown, the ambitious vaccine efforts in the country somehow provided a smooth transition out of the phase of this pandemic. Without which, the Philippines would still be hanging in balance.

The mutation of COVID-19 and the surge in the number of infection cases convinced some companies and business establishments to require proof of vaccination to their patrons and employees upon entry.

In compliance with Republic Act No. 11525, Section 12, otherwise known as the “COVID-19 Vaccination Program Act of 2021”, which mandates that “the DOH shall issue a vaccine card to all persons vaccinated”, the Department of Health (DOH) launched VaxCertPH. It is a website that enables fully vaccinated individuals to apply for a digital vaccination certificate. One may either apply through the online portal or may ask his local government for help.
