The Swiss woman should have been happy. She had herself vaccinated twice in Jordan, where she lived, came back to Switzerland and wanted a Covid certificate. But she didn’t get any, how SRF reported.
The reason: She is vaccinated with Astrazeneca. And the vaccination is not recognized in Switzerland, so there is no certificate. For example, if she wants to go to a major event, she has to be tested.
Astrazeneca from the EU: No problem!
However, if the woman had been vaccinated with Astrazeneca in an EU or Schengen country, she could go to the major event without a test. Then she would receive a corona certificate from the EU, which is accepted by Switzerland. So what you have been vaccinated with seems less relevant than where you have been piked.
Meanwhile, people who are vaccinated with Pfizer or Moderna abroad have no problem. Because Switzerland has recognized these vaccinations, the certificates are also issued.
There are still no Swiss Covid certificates for people who are vaccinated with Sputnik, Sinopharm or Sinovac. Because these vaccines have not yet been approved in this country. (vof)
