PurposeThe [European Vaccination Card (EVC)](https://euvabeco.eu/news/european-vaccination-card-evc-a-citizen-held-card-to-foster-informed-decision-making-on-vaccination-and-improve-continuity-of-care-across-the-eu/) is a citizen-held card to foster informed decision-making on vaccination, and improve continuity of care across the EU. The EVC will allow "Member States to bilaterally verify the authenticity of digital records through an interoperable trust architecture. While similar to the EU Digital COVID Certificate in being a portable vaccination record, the EVC serves a different purpose. Unlike the certificate, which often fulfilled legal or health mandates, the EVC is specifically designed to empower individuals by granting them control over their vaccination information. This empowerment is crucial for ensuring continuity of care for those crossing borders or transitioning between healthcare systems." The EVC will operate in the context of the European Health Data Spaces that requires detailed information on access the health data to be recorded. <figure > <img src="ehds_legal.png" caption="Figure X.X.X.X-8: European Health Data Spaces" style="width:45em; max-width:100%"/> <p id="fX.X.X.X-8" class="figureTitle">Figure X.X.X.X-8: European Health Data Spaces </p> </figure> For more information see Regulation (EU) 2025/327 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2025 on the European Health Data Space and amending Directive 2011/24/EU and Regulation (EU) 2024/2847.

purpose:

The European Vaccination Card (EVC) is a citizen-held card to foster informed decision-making on vaccination, and improve continuity of care across the EU.

The EVC will allow "Member States to bilaterally verify the authenticity of digital records through an interoperable trust architecture. While similar to the EU Digital COVID Certificate in being a portable vaccination record, the EVC serves a different purpose. Unlike the certificate, which often fulfilled legal or health mandates, the EVC is specifically designed to empower individuals by granting them control over their vaccination information. This empowerment is crucial for ensuring continuity of care for those crossing borders or transitioning between healthcare systems."

The EVC will operate in the context of the European Health Data Spaces that requires detailed information on access the health data to be recorded.

For more information see Regulation (EU) 2025/327 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2025 on the European Health Data Space and amending Directive 2011/24/EU and Regulation (EU) 2024/2847. Specifically:

A critical privacy requirement for the EVC is unlinkability: Article 5a(16) of Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 as amended Article 5a(16): The technical framework of the European Digital Identity Wallet shall:

(a) not allow providers of electronic attestations of attributes or any other party, after the issuance of the attestation of attributes, to obtain data that allows transactions or user behaviour to be tracked, linked or correlated, or knowledge of transactions or user behaviour to be otherwise obtained, unless explicitly authorised by the user;

(b) enable privacy preserving techniques which ensure unlinkability, where the attestation of attributes does not require the identification of the user.
