The **EU Digital COVID Certificate** is a certification meant to allow for travel in Europe during the pandemic without quarantine or similar restrictions. The certificate is used by the EU, the EEA, and 13 other countries and territories. In the EU/EEA, more than 591 million certificates have been issued.
Certificates are issued for:
* vaccination against COVID-19, or
* a negative test result, or
* recovery from COVID-19
This chart shows the number of certificates issued per person, by each EU/EEA country. It is further split by the reason for issuance.
## Missing data
* No data available for Denmark.
* The Netherlands and Norway did not disambiguate data (all shown as vaccination).
* Belgium, Estonia, Spain, Malta, Poland and Sweden did not disambiguate for the two different tests (both shown as PCR).
How can Slovenia have two vaccination certificates average per person? How? Only if they emit separate vaccination certificates for each dose, they got 100% coverage ( impossible without the under 12s) and use only 2 dose vaccines.
