Establishment of a National Vaccination Registry to Enhance Health Coverage

May 29, 2026

The Ministry of Health has introduced a bill to create a National Vaccination Registry that will merge the recording of all vaccinations into a single digital system. This new system aims to eliminate the insecurity associated with printed certificates, facilitating data access. Vaccinations will be recorded regardless of the provider, whether through the General Health System or the Ministry. The interconnection of systems will allow for quick and reliable access to vaccination information. The goal of the bill is to improve vaccination coverage tracking and reduce risks related to the lack of central recording.
