Gov't working on launch of VaxCertPH in other regions –DILG
By JAMIL SANTOS,GMA NewsThe government was working on launching VaxCertPH, the portal for the issuance of COVID-19 vaccination certificates to fully vaccinated individuals, in other regions of the country, DILG Undersecretary Jonathan Malaya said Friday.
Interviewed at the Laging Handa public briefing, Malaya said the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) had been working on the system quality of data already submitted by local government units (LGUs).
“Maayos naman 'yung ating soft launch, nakakasumite naman 'yung mga LGUs natin ng kanilang mga datos pero inaayos natin 'yung quality of the data. Kung minsan kasi may problema on data quality, minsan nagkakamali sa pag-encode 'yung ating encoders from the LGU level,” he said.
(The soft launch went well. Our LGUs were able to submit their data but we are improving the quality of the data. Sometimes there are problems with data quality, sometimes encoders from the LGU level commit mistakes in encoding.)
Malaya said VaxCertPH had been soft launched in Metro Manila

“Once this is fully completed by the various local government units, puwede na po natin itong buksan para sa ibang mga tao. Eventually, ang plano po namin ay ma-launch na rin ito sa Region 3, Region 4, Metro Cebu and Metro Davao,” he said.
(Once this is fully completed by the various local government units, we can also launch it for other residents. Eventually, our plan is to launch it in Region 3, Region 4, Metro Cebu, and Metro Davao.)
VaxCertPH, developed by the DICT and the Department of Health, relies on the data submitted by local government units through the Vaccine Information Management System.
Parañaque Mayor Edwin Olivarez said that local government units have started submitting their lists of vaccinated residents to the agency. — DVM, GMA News
