Cabinet Reports:
The Minister of Information Melford Nicholas says new vaccine cards could be rolled out as soon as next week.
He explained that vaccination/certificates cards which can be read on multiple electronic platforms will soon become a reality.
The cards will likely be used for travel within the CARICOM region, certifying the Covid-19 vaccination status of its owner; it may also be utilized when entering several ports in the USA if an agreed-upon format is reached.
Paper documents that are now issued will not be used.

Presumably there will be a 6-month overlap where use of cards and paper documents will be accepted, to give the Ministry of Information time to get it right, iron out the kinks and actually deliver a product that IS acceptable globally.
We can but hope.
What will the cost be to each vaccinated national?

What happened to the Minister of Tourism plan for Antiguans to utilize the IATA e-certificate?
