JAKARTA (The Straits Times/ANN): Foreigners and Indonesians who had Covid-19 shots overseas may soon get their records verified at clinics appointed by the health ministry so they can be used in Indonesia, which requires long-distance domestic travellers - by air, sea and land - to have been vaccinated.

The Straits Times understands that individuals seeking to get their records verified must first undergo a serology test at a designated clinic to detect the presence of Covid-19 antibodies before uploading their overseas vaccine cards and punching in their passport number on the PeduliLindungi tracing app, the Indonesian equivalent of Singapore's TraceTogether.
