The World Health Organization (WHO) is currently against the introduction of special certificates or covid passports for people who have received the coronavirus vaccine, said today the representative of the WHO in Russia, Melita Vujinović.

–  The WHO is clear on this issue and does not recommend this type of passport at this time – said Vujinović for the TV channel Russia 24, reports TASS .

At the same time, Vujinovic does not rule out the possibility that the WHO could at some point make its proposals on the contents of the passport.

–  Of course, the countries follow their course, everyone is trying to enable their citizens to be able to move as much as possible. The WHO will cooperate with all countries on this issue – she added.
