China will launch an inoculation program for Chinese living abroad with Covid-19 vaccines, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Sunday.

The “spring buds” program will cause China to set up vaccination stations “to administer Chinese vaccines to our compatriots in the surrounding countries,” Wang told a news conference.

Wang added that China will also launch health certificates for international travel.

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