Updated Covid Certificates set to be issued this week, says Minister for Health

The Minister for Health has said new Digital Covid Certificates will be issued to people this week to reflect the booster vaccines.

Stephen Donnelly took to Twitter to say that the European Union is applying a maximum of 9 months validity to vertificates "based on a completed primary vaccination course".

Minister Donnelly also said that people can request a certificate of recovery if they have recovered from the virus in the last 6 months.

The updated certificates will be automatically issued to people who have received an additional or booster vaccination in recent months.
