On 17 February 2021, Bahrain launched a digital COVID-19 vaccine passport.
Governments and developers around the world are exploring how certificates and passports could help to reopen economies by identifying those protected against COVID-19.
Bahrain's 'BeAware' app displays a green shield alongside an official certificate detailing the person's name, date of birth, nationality and which vaccine was received.
Users must have received two doses of a vaccine, separated by 21 days, and then wait for two weeks for antibodies to develop, the statement said.
"Authorities can verify its validity by scanning a QR code linking to the national vaccine register," it said.
