In order to further increase the number of vaccinations and protect against new waves of the epidemic, the protection card will be converted into a vaccination card from February 15. Only those who have been vaccinated will have their ID card valid. An unvaccinated person will not be entitled to a vaccination certificate even in the event of an infection, and any immunity certificate issued for an existing infection will lose its validity. The card will be valid for six months after the second vaccination, after which the validity will be extended - as a general rule - only after the third vaccination that confirms it. If someone becomes infected after two vaccinations, their ID will be valid for 6 months from the date of confirmation of the infection. After taking the third confirming vaccination, the certificate will be valid for an unlimited period of time. There is no need to replace the current protection certificates, the validity of the document can be checked based on the QR code.
