A Bahraini government mobile application allows people to digitally register the status of their immunity to COVID-19 after receiving the vaccine.

The BeAware Bahrain app offers a coronavirus vaccination certificate that enables users to receive the certificate stating that they are vaccinated against the virus. To receive the certificate, people must receive two doses of the vaccine 21 days apart and then wait two weeks after the second dose for antibodies to develop, according to the app.

Vaccines against COVID-19 typically require two doses to be fully effective.

The application is available on both Apple and Android smartphones.
