Good News! Overseas Vaccine Recipients Can Claim Additional Certificates At PeduliLindung

JAKARTA - The Chief of Digital Transformation Office of the Ministry of Health, Setiaji, revealed that currently Indonesian citizens (WNI) and foreign nationals (foreigners) receiving the COVID-19 vaccine abroad can claim an additional dose of vaccine certificate in the PeduliLindung application.

This, said Setiaji, also applies to recipients of a mixture of foreign and domestic vaccines.

Setiaji said that they could input data on additional doses of vaccination for submitting foreign vaccine verification through the website vaccineln.dto.kemkes.go.id.

“Previously, foreign vaccine recipients could only submit their vaccine data verification once. But now, they can input additional doses of vaccine, both the second and so on. This is also intended for recipients of vaccines abroad combined with vaccines in Indonesia (mixed doses)," Setiaji said in his statement, Friday, April 15.

In addition, Indonesian citizens who received complete primary dose vaccination abroad also continued the third vaccination (booster) in Indonesia through government program vaccines. The third vaccination ticket will appear in the PeduliLindung application.

"With the existing update, it is hoped that this additional dose feature will make it easier for Indonesian citizens and foreigners who received the COVID-19 vaccine abroad to claim a vaccine certificate in the PeduliLindung application, so that they can move safely and comfortably in public spaces," Setiaji said.
