- Governments, private companies, and non-profits are working on coronavirus “vaccine passports” that can be used to prove vaccination status or show COVID-19 test results for certain activities.
- The travel industry is already asking for negative test results before international travel. People looking to attend public events like concerts might need to show proof of vaccination or negative test results in the future.
- Digital vaccine passports might be created to simplify the procedure of testing a person’s vaccine or test results. The health documents would offer authorities quick access to COVID-19 information in a standardized way.
Almost a year ago, the world discussed the pros and cons of so-called “immunity passports” when the pandemic was just starting. Proof of COVID-19 immunity would be enough to allow people to return to work, travel internationally, and attended crowded events. The concept was largely forgotten as the world still had no idea how the COVID-19 crisis would unfold — or what to expect from immunity. But now, many countries have started asking for proof of negative COVID-19 testing before allowing international travel. It’s not an immunity passport, but the concept is similar.
Now that vaccination campaigns are ramping up around the world, there’s increased talk of such an immunity passport. It’s now called a “vaccine passport” informally, and this one might stick.
