View answer1163. Deputy Réada Cronin asked the Minister for Health if a policy of exemption to the EU Digital COVID Certificate will be formulated and applied for persons who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons or in cases of an adverse reaction to the first dose of a vaccine which medically prevents them from having the second dose given the option of having a Covid-19 test each time they wish to have a cup of coffee or a meal indoors is not practical, workable or affordable for them; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 1152 and 1163 together.
The EU Digital COVID Certificate is proof that a person has either been vaccinated against COVID-19 or received a negative COVID-19 test result or recovered from COVID-19 in the last 6 months.
While the EU Digital COVID Certificate initiative can support safe travel within the EU during the COVID-19 pandemic it is not a precondition for travel.
Individuals who have received one vaccination dose can request a certificate of this dose through the online Digital COVID Certificate portal
