Robinsons Malls and SM malls have partnered with the Department of Health (DOH), Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Information and Communications Technology (DITC) in implementing the VaxCertPh program, a portal for the issuance of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) vaccination certificates to fully inoculated overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and Filipinos going abroad.
SM Supermalls inked a deal with the Department of Health (DOH) and the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) to become the first official venue partner of the digital vaccination certificate program, VAXCertPH during its launch in SM City Clark on October 4.
“The VAXCertPH initiative will be very helpful to our fellow Filipinos, especially the OFWs and international travelers, as this certification can be used when going abroad. We at SM are pleased to be of service in making the vaccine certification records more accessible to Filipinos nationwide,” SM Supermalls president Steven Tan said during the launch and signing of the Memorandum of Agreement.
Under the partnership, SM is set to provide an area in its 76 malls nationwide for VAXCertPH booths, which will be manned by LGU representatives. SM will also help government agencies inform the general public of the VAXCertPH initiative through its marketing materials, online announcements, and traditional media.
The VaxCertPH platform serves as the country’s unified vaccine certificate system under the DICT and Department of Health (DOH). The digital vaccine certificates complies with the digital guidelines issued by the World Health Organization (WHO). In addition, the VaxCertPh aims to represent the certificate holder’s vaccination status and to provide OFWs a vaccination certificate that will be recognized in foreign jurisdiction. VaxCertPh is accepted in all countries.
VaxCertPh booths are now open in Robinsons Place Imus, Cavite and in Forum Robinsons in Mandaluyong, to name a few. Both booths are located at the 3rd level, respectively.
