This new feature and the format of date of birth will be in "yyyy-mm-dd" format as per the WHO standards for international travellers."He said that everyone travelling abroad can update their vaccination certificates on CoWin by entering their date of birth as per their passports and downloading the certificates again.
"Currently we collected only the year of birth which is reflected as the age of a person in the certificate," added Dr. Sharma.
