Urgent - Vax Cert Update (International Trip on March 17)

Requested from DOH by J. Rojas at 06:16 PM on Mar 16, 2023.
Purpose: Urgent - Upcoming International Trip on March 17
Date of Coverage: 03/16/2023 - 03/16/2023
Tracking no: #DOH-461852208514

Rojas 06:16 PM, Mar 16, 2023 

Please help me with an urgent matter. My international flight leaves tomorrow, March 17, at 8:00 in evening, and I can't download my VaxCert because my update request is still in progress.

I need to either cancel the VaxCert Update request I made two weeks ago so I could download a new one OR add my booster dose (Moderna) taken last January 3, 2022 at Iloilo City. I already have an existing update request with Reference # 1904813.

Note: VaxCert hotline cannot be called, and their email is already full so my email bounced. 

Please help! Thank you very much!
