As reported by the Ministry of Health, from 1 February 2022, the validity of UCCs issued after primary vaccination will be shortened to 270 days, counting from the date of completion of vaccination in the primary course.
UCC after an additional dose
Ministry:
The process of issuing UCCs valid for 360 days from the date of receiving an additional supplementary dose began on 31 December 2021.
However, from 1 February 2022, the validity of these certificates will be shortened to 270 days, counting from the date of vaccination with the additional dose.
We remind you that an additional supplementary dose is administered after 28 days to people with impaired immunity whose immune response to vaccination may have been insufficient (administered to achieve optimal protection).
UCC after a booster dose
Ministry officials: “From 1 February 2022, the validity of UCCs will change.”
And they explain:
UCCs will be valid for 270 days from the date of receiving a booster dose (currently 360 days). At the same time, the validity of certificates issued before that date will be shortened to 270 days, counting from the date of vaccination with the booster dose.
What is the purpose of introducing UCCs?
The purpose of introducing EU COVID Certificates is to facilitate free movement within the European Union.
Where can UCCs be downloaded?
- UCCs can be downloaded after logging in to the Online Patient Account (IKP), or kept with you at all times in the mojeIKP app.
- People who have received an additional vaccine dose can also go to a primary healthcare facility or the relevant vaccination point to obtain a printed UCC. In such cases, the patient should receive assistance at the vaccination point and be given a printed UCC.
