The European Union proposed that COVID-19 vaccine passports should expire after nine months for citizens traveling into and within the 27-member bloc, the executive arm of the union announced on Thursday.

“The Commission is proposing a stronger focus on a ‘person-based’ approach to travel measures and a standard acceptance period for vaccination certificates of nine months since the primary vaccination series,” the European Commission (EC) said in a statement.
