The Albanian Prime Minister, Edi Rama informed on Tuesday that country is getting ready to have its own digital Covid-19 vaccination passport if other countries will impose this as a condition to travel abroad. 

In his weekly conference with the media, Rama said that every Albanian citizens that will take both vaccine doses will have the possibility to have this passport. 

"Our health system is transformed and digitalized. We are getting ready to have our own digital vaccination passport so if it will be a condition to travel abroad to have it ready," said Rama. 

Actually the European Commission will present a proposal in March on creating an EU-wide digital vaccination passport, an issue that has divided member states, Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said recently. 

With vaccinations now well under way, governments are increasingly seeing vaccine â€œpassports” â€“ or other forms of Covid-19 status certificates â€“ as a way out of the cycles of shutdowns and curfews that have ground travel to a near halt.  

The certificates would enable people to present proof of vaccination and thus skip quarantine protocols when arriving in a new country.

Greece unveiled a digital vaccination certificate in February for those who have received two doses of the vaccine. 

Other countries that are currently issuing or asking for vaccine certificates include the Czech Republic, Poland, Italy, Spain and Portugal.
