The Estonian Government recently announced it has gone live with VaccineGuard to support the country’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Secure Vaccination Certificates, issued through the VaccineGuard platform for international travel are available immediately enabling Estonia citizens to cross borders with proof of vaccination status. The platform is based on a year long collaboration with the Estonian, Hungarian, and Icelandic Governments, the World Health Organisation and AstraZeneca Estonia.
Ilus Eesti, beautiful Estonia. My family's homeland. Estonia's countryside and people have an endearing gentleness about them which you fall in love with slowly and imperceptibly. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Estonians' courage and determination to survive despite centuries of repression, tyranny and foreign occupation. This blog aims to promote Estonian news, history and culture and seeks to enlighten readers about everything this unique country has to offer.
