China on Monday introduced a digital vaccine passport to track its citizens’ medical history as they begin to travel abroad.
The health certificate, which runs on Tencent’s WeChat messaging app, will include a user’s Covid-19 test and vaccination history, and is intended to enable international travel, according to a report by the Chinese state-run news agency Xinhua. The service currently only works for Chinese citizens.
