Senior citizen sent back from Cochin airport; both certificates did not have date of birth, dates of both doses
A senior citizen from here going to Frankfurt, Germany, was sent back from Cochin International Airport on Tuesday after the German emigration wing objected to the lack of clarity in the vaccination certificates issued by both the Union and State governments. V. Jayarajan, a retired civil engineer, was denied travel permit as his vaccination certificates did not have his date of birth and the dates of both doses. The certificates being issued by the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare with a photo of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on it, and by the State Department of Health and Family Welfare, give the name and age of the beneficiary, but not the date of birth. Neither do they have the dates of both vaccine doses. While the State certificate has the date of the certificate approval, the Union government’s certificate has only the date of the final (second) vaccination, and not that of the first dose. “I was not allowed to board the flight because of this lack of clarity in our vaccine certificates,” said Mr. Jayarajan.More Related News
