It was actually issued a day after China announced that it would create the so-called “vaccine passport.” Of course, other countries have to accept it, but China is expected to start consultations with Korea soon. Correspondent Kang Seong-woong reports from Beijing. On Sunday, China announced that it would push for the issuance of health certificates to people traveling between countries. It officially introduced the so-called “electronic vaccination passport”, which shortens the quarantine period for vaccinators. Just one day after the announcement, China created an ‘International Travel Health Test’ that you can enter on your smartphone. In addition to the results of the nucleic acid test, we were asked to enter the vaccination status, manufacturer, type, and date. As a result of a serological test, it is also indicated whether antibodies have developed. In China, medical institutions or authorities often enter these results automatically on personal smartphones. Foreigners can also enter medical information when registering. If you create a “vaccine passport” like this, you will shorten the immigration process. However, it is not clear whether other countries will accept or share these electronic systems in China. It is also a variable whether countries will mutually recognize vaccines with different effects. There may be resistance to transmitting personal medical information to other countries. On the contrary, people who need business trips abroad for business or public affairs, or who are frequent, can be welcomed. While expectations and concerns intersect, it is argued in China that it should do so first and Hong Kong first. Since China is expected to start discussions with Korea on mutual authentication of ‘vaccine passports’ sooner or later, discussions on the introduction of vaccine passports are expected to start in earnest in Korea.
