China will launch a program to inoculate Chinese living abroad with Covid-19 vaccines, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Sunday.

The “spring outbreaks” program will allow China to establish vaccination stations “to administer Chinese vaccines to our compatriots in surrounding countries,” Wang told a news conference.

Wang added that China will also deploy health certificates for international travelers.

“We will take care to fully protect personal privacy and contribute to the mutual recognition of the results of nucleic acid testing and vaccination records, thus facilitating a safe and orderly flow of personnel,” he said.
