日本政府26日開始受理“疫苗護照”申請，完成新冠疫苗接種者前往特定國家時可憑這一證明免除隔離。

The Japanese government began accepting applications for a "vaccine passport" on the 26th. Those who have completed the new crown vaccination can use this certificate to exempt them from isolation when they travel to specific countries.

日本政府說，截至21日，承認日本“疫苗護照”的國家包括意大利、奧地利、土耳其、保加利亞和波蘭。此外，韓國認可日本“疫苗護照”作為免除隔離所需材料之一。日本正與其他國家協(xié)商，以擴大“疫苗護照”使用范圍。

The Japanese government said that as of the 21st, countries that recognize Japan’s “vaccine passport” include Italy, Austria, Turkey, Bulgaria and Poland. In addition, South Korea recognizes the Japanese "vaccine passport" as one of the materials required for exemption from quarantine. Japan is negotiating with other countries to expand the scope of the "vaccine passport".

申請者可憑護照、疫苗接種券和申請表前往地方政府指定地點或以郵寄方式提出申請。

Applicants can present their passports, vaccination coupons and application forms to the designated locations of the local government or apply by mail.

現(xiàn)階段，日本政府僅受理紙質(zhì)申請書，發(fā)放紙質(zhì)“疫苗護照”，今后有望引入電子版申請書和證明。

At this stage, the Japanese government only accepts paper applications and issues paper "vaccine passports." It is expected that electronic applications and certificates will be introduced in the future.

在東京都港區(qū)一處公共衛(wèi)生中心，一些商界人士和外國居民26日上午前去申請辦理“疫苗護照”。

At a public health center in Minato Ward, Tokyo, some business people and foreign residents went to apply for a "vaccine passport" on the morning of the 26th.

日本經(jīng)濟團體聯(lián)合會（經(jīng)團聯(lián)）曾提議在國內(nèi)也使用“疫苗護照”，以放寬大型活動人數(shù)限制。不過，這一建議因可能加重地方政府負擔(dān)、使未接種人群遭歧視而未被采納。

The Japan Federation of Economic Organizations (Kiduan Federation) once proposed to use "vaccine passports" in the country to relax restrictions on the number of people in large-scale events. However, this suggestion was not adopted because it might increase the burden on local governments and discriminate against people who have not been vaccinated.
