COVID-19 certificate

1) You are fully* vaccinated before June 21^st in a vaccination centre in Geneva and have not obtained your COVID certificate
_{*Vaccination 2 doses or Cured + 1 dose}
 

You did not obtain your COVID certificate via the federal system because there was a problem with the dispatch or management of the SMS containing the links to access and complete the federal application form.

This may be due to the following reasons:

• You gave a mobile phone number but: 
  • The mobile phone number registered was wrong.
  • You have changed your mobile phone number since you registered and therefore have not received the SMS messages.
  • You have lost your mobile phone.
  • You didn't receive any or all of the SMS messages containing the links to obtain your certificate.
  • You had a problem with your online application which resulted in the system being blocked (e.g. you entered your date of birth incorrectly and the system locked or you entered your six-digit secret code incorrectly and the system locked after 5 unsuccessful attempts.

• You did not have a mobile phone when you registered or were vaccinated and:

  • The person who registered you with his or her mobile phone number had problems when trying to obtain your certificate.

2) You are fully* vaccinated before June 21^st in a vaccination centre in Geneva and you received a certificate with errors
_{* Vaccination 2 doses or Cured + 1 dose}

You received your COVID certificate but you would like to have it corrected because it contains false data: 

• The personal data (surname/first name/date of birth) on your COVID certificate do not match the data on your identity document.
• There is a mistake in the vaccine data (type of vaccine or vaccination dates) on your COVID certificate.

NOTE: The Comirnaty® vaccine is the one manufactured by Pfizer/BioNTech. The COVID-19 Vaccine Moderna® is the one manufactured by the company Moderna.

3) You were cured + vaccinated with 1 dose in a vaccination centre in Geneva after June 20^th and you did not receive an SMS automatically transmitted in the following week containing the COVID certificate.

4) Regardless of the date on which you were vaccinated, you fall into one of the following categories:

• You were vaccinated outside the canton of Geneva (1^st dose or both doses)
• You were vaccinated in a health institution (for example: EMS, EPH, etc.) or by an imad staff member (medical home care)
• You are a health professional and have been vaccinated at work.
