International vaccination passports will become available this week

A trip overseas is getting closer, with international vaccine passports to be available from tomorrow.

The certificate features a QR code to prove COVID-19 vaccination status that is internationally recognised.

They can be printed or uploaded to compatible COVID-19 travel apps.

The internationally-recognised vaccine passports will be available from midnight on Tuesday.

The system comes into place a day before quarantine-free travel from New Zealand’s South Island to Australia will resume.

Australia is also in discussions with Singapore about expediting a travel agreement.
