he digital vaccination certificate planned for 2022 is already attracting great interest among people in Germany. 64 percent would use it via a smartphone app instead of the yellow paper vaccination certificate. A large proportion of 84 percent of this group see the greatest advantage of the digital vaccination certificate as being that it can be used to quickly prove that a corona vaccination has been carried out, for example when traveling or at events. 64 percent emphasize that the digital vaccination certificate automatically reminds them of necessary vaccinations or boosters.

And 56 percent welcome having their vaccination record to hand at all times. "People always have their smartphone to hand, but they have to search for their vaccination record," says Berg. Nevertheless, some prefer the traditional version. 29 percent of those who do not want to use the digital vaccination record simply prefer a paper vaccination record, while 31 percent do not have a smartphone or tablet, which they believe philippines gambling data would be necessary for the corresponding app. The majority of 60 percent of those who are not interested in the digital vaccination record are concerned about data protection. "Reliable vaccination protection is a basic prerequisite for reactivating our economic and social life. That is why everyone must know when they were given which vaccine - and above all: when a booster is due.

Such important information should not be stored exclusively on a piece of paper. For this, we need digital proof of vaccination, which people can also download to their smartphone via an app," emphasizes Berg. 60 percent are in favor of introducing the digital vaccination certificate now, rather than in 2022. At the same time, only just over half as many (36 percent) are in favor of giving vaccinated people back certain freedoms. "While it is structurally difficult to bring forward the digital vaccination certificate as part of the electronic patient file, other digital vaccination passports or certificates can be a temporary solution," says Berg. "It is important that the solutions currently being developed are internationally compatible - and that the data can later be transferred to the electronic patient file." Berg also believes that a digital vaccination certificate is important because it allows people to be automatically and individually informed about necessary boosters or new findings on the respective vaccination protection against mutants.
