Shirika la Afya Duniani WHO linajiandaa kutoa cheti au kadi ya chanjo ya Corona (Covid-19 vaccination certificate) itakayotumika dunia nzima, na huwezi kusafiri au kupata VISA kama hautakuwa umechanjwa. Kwa sasa chanjo inayotakiwa ili usafiri au ukienda kuomba VISA ni chanjo ya homa ya manjano pekee.

As countries start to develop their own vaccination passports, the WHO is racing to develop a standard framework for coronavirus vaccination certificates that can be used worldwide to ensure standards are met.
Bernardo Mariano, Director of digital health innovation, WHO, told DW.
Currently, yellow fever is the only disease specified in the World Health Organization's (WHO) International Health Regulations (IHR), which require proof of vaccination for entry to some countries. The yellow fever vaccination certificate is also the only proof of vaccination certified under the IHR.
Vaccination against COVID-19 is not part of the IHR yet, but a country can make a unilateral decision. Some countries already require a negative COVID-19 test to enter, and the next evolution of that will be requiring proof of vaccination, Mariano said.
A COVID-19 vaccination certificate to become compulsory for travel the world over, it would have to be part of the IHR, and that process would take a long time, Mariano said. But there are other avenues.
One such initiative is the CommonPass , a digital framework for verifying COVID-19 tests and vaccination certificates. Some airlines have already been rolling out the app to passengers on select flights.
