A set of standards for vaccine certification is need

SINGAPORE: Countries could relax border controls and allow more travel if there’s a set of standards for vaccine certification that immigration authorities can use to help determine entry policies, Singapore Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung said.

“That is really the light at the end of the long tunnel, ” Ong said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. “With vaccination and vaccination certification, we can start to relax some border measures to allow some travel to start happening within the course of this year.”
