It would hence be desirable to make available the vaccination certificate in the form of a laminated card just like the PAN card. A certificate in the form of a paper is cumbersome to carry and could be easily destroyed. 

Hence a Covid-19 vaccination certificate in the form of a laminated card would be easier to handle and produced whenever required.
