Prime Minister’s approach to vaccine donations

May 31 2021

Answering questions during a press conference, Prime Minister Robert Abela stated that despite agreeing with the principle of donating vaccines to other countries, Malta must first assess the epidemiological situation of Malta before doing so. This is due to the possibility of booster doses becoming a necessity.

This would, according to Prime Minister Robert Abela, require analysing whether there are enough doses to vaccinate children as well. Thus, donation should become a possibility only when there is an excess of doses with the Maltese population vaccinated in the mean time.

In response to this, Deputy Prime Minister Chris Fearne stated that there are enough vaccines to provide booster doses for everyone.

Vaccine certificate can be downloaded starting 1st June

May 31 2021

Addressing a press conference, Prime Minister Robert Abela has revealed that vaccine certificates for those who received the jab can be downloaded starting tomorrow 1st June. The certificate can be downloaded from certifikatvaccin.gov.mt on the same day tourism is set to restart.

The vaccine certificate means that there will no longer be a need for a PCR test when returning from a foreign country. This, of course, only applies if you have the certificate – should one not have a certificate, a test is still mandatory. Malta will join a common system with the EU once this system is put in place. The certificate will also start to allow visits to pension homes and further measure easing.
