The Ministry of Health released this Wednesday (15) a statement warning of false messages by email using as a hook the argument for sending the certificate of vaccination against covid-19.

The ministry emphasizes that it does not provide this type of proof by email to any user of the Unified Health System (SUS). The only way to obtain the vaccination certificate for covid-19 is through the ConnectSUS app or its web version.

Due to the invasion of the Ministry of Health's database, the application has not yet normalized the issuance of certificates. In a statement, the folder said that "it is acting to re-establish as soon as possible the systems for registration and issuance of vaccination certificates", but did not say when the service will be available again.

The ConnectSUS app can be downloaded from any app store such as Play Store or Apple Store. In it, citizens who register can access vaccination data, including that required in the context of the new coronavirus pandemic (covid-19) by some establishments. The certificate is only available to those who complete the vaccination cycle.
