ワクチン接種証明、発行検討へ　政府

　政府は１９日、海外で新型コロナウイルスワクチンの接種済み証明書を求める動きがあることを踏まえ、国内で発行する方向で検討に入った。ワクチン接種の実務を担う市町村が、書面形式で証明書を発行することを想定している。証明書の提示を条件に入国を認める国が増えることを想定し、日本人の海外渡航環境を整備する狙いがある。（2021/05/19-20:46）

The Japanese government is considering starting the issuance of certificates to COVID-19 vaccine recipients in the country as submission of such certificates is required in some nations abroad.
   Local municipalities in Japan, which are in charge of administering COVID-19 vaccines, are expected to issue such certificates in a document form, according to sources with access to the government's discussions on the matter, which began on Wednesday. The government will accelerate efforts to start the issuance as early as next month.
   The planned vaccination certificates are aimed at supporting people traveling abroad from Japan, with more and more countries likely to require the submission of such documents for entry.
   "The task we are facing at the moment is to figure out what kinds of certificates are asked for by destination countries," a senior Japanese government official said.
