According to the EU Commission, 591 million certificates have been issued since the official start of the EU vaccination certificate at the beginning of July.

43 countries from four continents are now connected to the necessary technology - more are to follow in the coming months, as aerzteblatt.de reports. But that's not all: According to the Commission, 60 third countries have expressed their interest in wanting to use EU certificates as well. The document thus achieved an intercontinental distribution. The rules for what evidence is needed differ from country to country. In some places, travelers with proof of vaccination, for example, can not only avoid quarantine after arrival.

With the digital certificate, EU citizens can prove vaccinations, tests and recoveries across Europe. A uniform approach naturally simplifies travel - from summer vacations to smaller trips to neighboring countries. If you believe the voices from Brussels, then the aviation and travel industries in particular have benefited from the evidence.
