The vaccine certificate has a unique 13-digit beneficiary reference ID using which you can access all the details of that particular person.
You also get a physical copy of the vaccine certificate with all the details, like the vaccine they have taken and from which hospital/ centre you got inoculated. After the first dose, you get a provisional certificate for the COVID vaccine.
