The Pakistani government on one hand is trying to ensure the implementation of various restrictions and vaccinations to protect citizens from coronavirus, on the other hand, the issue of fake corona vaccination certificates is becoming an alarming issue in the country.

Traveling restrictions
The Civil Aviation Authority has issued guidelines on Corona Vaccination Certificate. According to the CAA’s guidelines, the certificate has been made mandatory on domestic and international flights from 1st October. CAA guidelines clearly state that from next month, air travel without a corona vaccination certificate will be banned.
The Civil Aviation Authority’s guidelines state that individuals and patients under the age of 17 will be exempt from the corona vaccine certificate. Patients must show a physician’s medical certificate of immunity.
Passengers traveling to and from Pakistan will be required to test for coronavirus 72 hours before departure.
NADRA and corona vaccines
The National Database and Registration Authority has introduced the Corona Vaccination Pass, a system linked to the QR code. According to the NADRA spokesperson, scanning of the code reveals the identity card, passport number, and details of the vaccine. The ‘Vaccination Pass’ can be checked by any authority going abroad, the QR code cannot be inserted in the vaccination card due to forgery.
Fake Corona Certificate
After negative reports about the corona vaccine surfaced in Pakistan, people in many cities obtained fake certificates by paying the vaccination staff instead of vaccinating them.
Several news in this regard have come to light before, while the vaccination of the former prime minister, who has been abroad for two years, has raised questions about the vaccination process and the NADRA system that if this situation continues, it may take many more years for the dream of a corona-free Pakistan to come true.
