Since Tuesday, Togolese who have received the two doses of the Covid vaccine can apply for and receive a vaccination passport from their smartphone or computer.
as reported from Lomé, Peter Sassou Dogbé
Fully digitized, according to the government, the vaccine passport is a reliable and secure document. The document is free and available online or in PDF format and certifies that its carrier has received two doses of Covid-19. A unique QR code that contains information about an individual’s vaccination and an electronic signature makes this vaccination pass impossible to falsify.
For the coordinator of the management of the anti-Covid-19 response, Professor Mahama Djibril, this document is part of the response strategy and will be very valuable to the holders. “This passport makes it possible to open the borders for the peoples to travel the world. For those in the country, this will resume activities, especially sports. ”
Just under 200,000 people have had both doses so far and the vaccine continues to be administered across the country.
To those who believe that the establishment of this vaccination passport is a way to force other citizens to be vaccinated, answers the Minister of Media, Prime Minister Akoda Ayawoadan. “Until then, the government has called on our citizens to be vaccinated. But note that the government has legislation that makes it possible to introduce an obligation to vaccinate when needed. ”
In the medical community we are calm, it will be difficult to force populations to be vaccinated, the vaccine is not available in sufficient quantities.
