March 24, 2021, 04.35 PM

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - National Covid-19 Task Force spokesperson Wiku Adisasmito urged the public to refrain from posting vaccination cards on social media in a bid to protect personal information from possible thieves online.   

"The government calls on the people who have received the Covid-19 vaccines to not posting or sharing the vaccination certificates on social media," Wiku said on Tuesday, March 23.

He said that the certificate contains personal data in the form of a QR code. With this, scammers could create counterfeit versions of the certificate and make money out of it once the certificate is posted online.

He gave assurance that the coronavirus vaccine provided to the public is safe, efficacious, and has minimal side effects. He called for the public to get vaccinated according to a predetermined schedule.
