Recently, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine (MoH) announced that any individual who has been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in Ukraine can obtain an international vaccination certificate. Because of this announcement, we observe a high interest of Ukrainians in various travel rules to the EU (both for business and private matters). Participants had an opportunity to listen about the latest details, procedures, and possible scenarios of obtaining digital COVID-19 certificates and traveling to EU countries.
We gave detailed answers to the following questions:
- EU digital green certificate – what is it, and how is it relevant to Ukrainian citizens?
- UA COVID-19 vaccination certificates – what to expect?
- Traveling to the EU – are the rules standard, and will UA COVID-19 vaccination certificates help?
