    MySos app just does not accept my passport and i don't know why. Is there a specific way to make the picture?

    What about apps from other countries showing vaccines received, can we upload screenshots of those to satisfy proof of vaccines into the mysos?? I got 3 vaccines in vietnam, and 1 in england…both have apps.

    I read somewhere that even if you were vaccinated 3-4 times, for as long as one of them is Sinovac or Conoravac, you would still need to get a negative RTPCR test. Ive been vaccinated FOUR times: twice with sinovac and two boosters with Pfizer. can anyone confirm this?

    Thank you for the info, but if you have your vaccination card, no need to bring a vaccination certificate.
