COVID-19 vaccination certificates now available in My Kanta Pages
21.06.2021Finland’s COVID-19 vaccination certificate is now available in the My Kanta Pages service. The vaccination certificate contains information on the COVID-19 vaccinations received by the certificate holder and is available after receiving the first dose of vaccine. Initially, many people may have to wait a while before they are able to view their vaccination certificate.
You can use the Finnish COVID-19 vaccination certificate when travelling to enter the countries that accept it as proof of vaccination. Countries will decide themselves which certificates they require from travellers and whether they accept the national COVID-19 vaccination certificates. They can even decide whether they require one dose or two doses of vaccine.
Finland’s COVID-19 vaccination certificate will be available in the My Kanta Pages service until the EU Digital Covid Certificate is made available in July. The EU Digital COVID Certificate consists of three different certificates: a COVID-19 vaccination certificate, a certificate of a COVID-19 test result and a certificate of recovery from COVID-19. The three certificates will be launched at the same time, and they will be available in the My Kanta Pages service.
