I'm not going to copy and post the entire article but according to DT it appears they are encouraging
Dominicans to report Dominicans who present questionable documentation to the authorities.
For some strange reason the words "logistical nightmare" come to mind.
"Regarding the requirement of the vaccination card, the Ministry of Public Health warned that the falsification of the document would lead to prosecution and informed that businesses that detect a possible false card must report it to the authorities for investigation purposes."

The Ministry of Public Health announced this Friday a series of new measures to be applied at the national level, hours after the Executive Branch announced the end of the curfew and the state of emergency.
These provisions are divided into two groups, those that will be applied as of next Monday and those that will enter into force on the 18th of this month.
Likewise, measures already in force are maintained, such as the mandatory use of a mask, hand hygiene and physical distancing in public spaces.
Those that will begin the following week are the requirement of a Public Health authorization to organize activities that involve crowding.
Likewise, establishments for public use may receive people up to 75% of their capacity.
In addition, they will prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages in bars, discos, grocery stores, casinos and entertainment centers from Monday to Friday after midnight and on Saturdays and Sundays after 2 in the morning.
October 18
From this date, people over 12 years of age must present an identity document and their vaccination card with at least two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine, both in original and in a legible copy (physical or digital) to the corresponding public or private authority, if they wish to carry out the following activities:
To attend in person to workplaces with closed spaces and for collective use; to attend in person the study centers of all levels, whether public or private; if you want to use means of transport, be it urban or interurban.
The same to enter bars, discos, grocery stores, restaurants, clubs, shopping centers, casinos, shops or other entertainment centers.
What if they haven't been vaccinated?
Those who do not have the vaccination card, will have to repeatedly present an original PCR test that is negative and performed seven days before.
This measure will cease to apply 14 days after receiving the second dose of the vaccine, and in exceptional cases Public Health may grant special permits to those who cannot receive the vaccine for medical reasons.
After this announcement, the authorities also stressed that the falsification of the PCR cards or tests may be prosecuted and sanctioned in accordance with the Penal Code
