This was announced by Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa who said the cards have security features include a water marked paper and a coat of arms which can only be seen under ultra violet (UV)light making it impossible to be reproduced by these unscrupulous persons.
“The Card which is going to be printed by Fidelity Printers, will exhibit the following features: invisible coat of arms, which shines under UV Light; fluorescent numbering; water-marked security paper; micro text underground; and guilloche pattern,” said Minister Mutsvangwa.
Minister Mutsvangwa added that farmers will not be required to produce vaccination cards when delivering maize however they will still be required to adhere to COVID-19 regulations.
Meanwhile, the rollout of vaccines to hotspots and border posts is in full swing.
