Written answers

EU Digital COVID Certificates are being issued to individuals who have received a heterologous vaccine regimen in Ireland.

As such persons who have received a ‘mixed-dose’ vaccination regimen in Ireland can also request or acquire a Digital COVID Certificate after they have received their second vaccination from the HSE.

It is important to note that for the purposes of travel into Ireland, a person with mixed vaccination doses is not considered a fully vaccinated person. International travel policy is under continuous review, including in relation to this matter.

An Irish issued DCC can be used for travel purposes within the EU and for indoor hospitality where necessary in Ireland
