EU Vaccine Configurations

To add a new vaccine to an EU certificate, a country must identify the EU code to which the vaccine belongs. The coded value sets used in EU vaccination certificates include:

  • vp: COVID-19 vaccine or prophylaxis

  • mp: COVID-19 vaccine product

  • ma: COVID-19 vaccine marketing authorisation holder or manufacturer

Steps to add the extra field in the certificate:

  • Go to the specific path where etcd is configured.

  • To add the extra field in the template, go to the Manage keys where etcd is configured.

  • To add the vaccine code, go to euVaccineCode and click on the Edit key to add the vaccine name and code.

- Example for Covaxin:

{“covaxin”: “Covaxin”}

  • Click on Save. A popup will appear as “operation successful.” Click on Close.

  • To add the prophylaxis, go to euVaccineProph and click on the Edit key to add the vaccine name and code.

- Example for Covaxin:

{“covaxin”: “J07BX03”}

  • Click on Save. A popup will appear as “operation successful.” Click on Close.

  • To add the manufacturer, go to euVaccineManuf. Click on the Edit key to add the new manufacturer.

- Example for Covaxin:

{“bharat”: “Bharat-Biotech”}

  • Click on Save. A popup will appear as “operation successful.” Click on Close.

  • Once the mappings are available in etcd, you can create the certificate and generate the PDF with the new vaccine.
