VACCINE PASSPORT

Subject: Science & tech

Context: Israel became the first country to introduce a certification system that allows those who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 to access certain facilities and events.

Israel’s “vaccine passport” is meant for public facilities such as restaurants, gyms, and hotels in the country — but certification of this kind has a bearing on the full resumption of international air travel as well.

Concept:

  • A vaccination pass or passport is documentation proving that the individual has been vaccinated against Covid-19.
  • Some versions will also allow people to show that they have tested negative for the virus, and therefore can more easily travel.
  • The versions being worked on now by airlines, industry groups, nonprofits and technology companies will be something people can pull up on their mobile phone as an app or part of their digital wallet.
  • As more people are inoculated, there will likely be aspects of public life in which only people who have been vaccinated are allowed to participate.
  • In order to travel internationally, government and health authorities will need to know if you have been vaccinated or have tested negative for the virus.
  • Many countries are already requiring proof of a negative test for entry.
