Article reading:
But to do those things, you may need proof in addition to the vaccine: a vaccine passport application. Organizations and other firms have initiated designing applications for smartphones for people to transfer data of their Covid-19 tests and vaccinations, creating digital documents that could be shown to access venues like stadiums, movie cinemas, facilities, or even other countries.
The Common Trust Network has worked with different airlines such as Lufthansa, Virgin Atlantic, Cathay Pacific, JetBlue, Swiss Airlines, and United Airlines as well as numbers of health systems across the United States and the administration of Aruba to create the CommonPass app which lets users transfer medical data online such as a Covid-19 test outcome or evidence that someone has been vaccinated by a medical facility or medical expert, creating a health certificate or pass in the form of a QR code that can be shown to authorities externally exposing delicate information. The application records health permit requirements at the points of departure and arrival based on your itinerary for travel purposes. According to Thomas Crampton, chief marketing and communications officer for The Commons Project, announced to CNN Business that you can be examined whenever you travel. However, you cannot be vaccinated every time you cross a border. He emphasized the need for an easy and quickly transferable set of credentials, or a “digital yellow card,” describing the paper document usually given as evidence of vaccination.
