Italy to issue COVID-certificate to vaccinated Sputnik V after booster

Those vaccinated with drugs that are not yet approved in the European Union will be able to receive an Italian COVID-certificate after they receive a booster dose of the mRNA vaccine. This was announced by the HEAD of the Italian Ministry of HEALTH, Roberto Speranza, reports ANSA.

Earlier, the agency published a circular based on the recommendations of the Italian Medicines Agency (Aifa). it allows those who have been vaccinated with drugs not recognized in the EU to receive a third dose of mRNA drugs from Pfizer or Moderna.

As Speranza explained, in order to obtain the Italian green pass (electronic COVID-certificate), you will need to receive a booster dose of these mRNA vaccines no later than six months after the vaccination is completed.

The system of digital certificates has been launched in the EU since July 1. They confirm the fact of vaccination, the transfer of covid-19 or a negative test result for CORONAVIRUS. The certificate allows you to travel between countries that recognize its validity, without additional checks.
