KUALA LUMPUR: Asean health ministers have agreed on mutual recognition of Covid-19 vaccination certificates to ensure smooth and safe cross-border travel.
Deputy health minister II Aaron Ago Anak Dagang said the decision was reached at a special discussion session of Asean health ministers in Bali, Indonesia, yesterday.
Indonesia would take the initiative to lead the development of a Asean universal verification mechanism, he said.
Aaron said the voluntary system had potential to support Asean member countries that did not yet have a vaccination certificate verification system.
