At the address , it is possible to obtain all the information needed to prove vaccination until the Ministry of Health's systems are re-established.

The Executive Secretary of the Ministry of Health (MS), Rodrigo Cruz, advanced the possibilities of proof of immunization: the physical version of the vaccination card, which remains valid; the duplicate of the card, which can be requested at the health unit where the vaccination was carried out; municipalities that have their own base can issue certificates (the hotsite lists which states have this system). Finally, the executive secretary said that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE) will send countries requesting the requested certificate to accept the vaccination card.

Rodrigo Cruz recalled that the ordinance with rules for entry into Brazil, which established the presentation of the vaccination certificate and quarantine, has been postponed for a week . “In order not to harm Brazilians abroad, we decided to postpone the ordinance”, he said.
