WHO not yet recommending COVID-passports introduction

The World Health Organization (WHO) is not yet recommending countries to introduce COVID-19 vaccination passports, Report informs, citing Melita Vujnovic, the WHO representative in Russia.

“WHO has stated that it does not currently recommend such passports. But, of course, the countries go their own way. They all are trying to allow greater mobility of the population. WHO will cooperate with all interested countries, and at some point, will provide its recommendation on what such a passport should contain,” Vujnovic said.
