So far 60,000 people downloaded vaccination certificates, and Identity Malta has expressed confidence that Malta will be able to link up with the European green certificates system on July 1 to facilitate travel, Health Minister Chris Fearne said on Thursday.
Malta’s vaccination certificates became available for download last week for all people who were fully vaccinated up to 14 days ago.
Speaking at the opening of a facility for people with mental health problems, Fearne said that 76 percent of adults in Malta had received a first dose of the vaccine and 56 percent were fully vaccinated.
Fearne said Malta’s target remained to vaccinate 80% of the population and invitations will start being issued next week for the vaccination of children aged between 12-16 once exams were over.
The minister also defended the requirement that travelers to Malta take a PCR test if they do not hold a vaccination certificate.
