A person vaccinated ten times can still be a carrier of Covid, that's the technical fact on that. These are rules

You are right. Corona is revealing stupity. vaccinated or not anyone may carry the vaccine and certainly no logic. Checking temperature makes some sense

There are people who don't want to take Sinopharm vaccine, give an alternative even at a cost to those who prefer some other vaccine.

First a ration card for food and then a durable vaccination card which will not melt in a few days

It will be difficult to implement it. Can you vaccination cards in religious places, markets etc. So, best is push for strict adherence to health guidelines.

A digid code works very well here. Please get yourself vaccinated. It is the only solution for this pandemy.

Before the Vaccination Card PLEASE GET DOWN MEDICINES WHICH ARE OUT OF STOCK. Example is NITROCONTIN 2.6mg which is NOT available in Pharmacies in Sri Lanka...
