What is a COVID-19 vaccine passport, and will I need one?

“Vaccine passports," or vaccine certificates, are documents that show you were vaccinated against COVID-19 or recently tested negative for the virus. They could help you get into places such as stadiums or even countries that are looking to reopen safely.

The certificates are still being developed, and how and whether they’ll be used could vary widely around the world. Experts say they should be free and available on paper, not just on apps, since not everyone has a smartphone.

In the U.S., federal officials say there are no plans to make them broadly mandatory. In some states, Republican governors have issued orders barring businesses or state agencies from asking people to show proof of vaccination.

Because Republican governors believe in freedumb.

1. They give you a card after you have been vaccinated. If people are wise they will make a copy of

that card, and keep it in a safe place

Regardless of what happens, that is proof you have been vaccinated

3. See below. They're doing better than that now.

2. I can add a little

Some groups, contracted by States to run the vaccination clinics are sending out via email a QR code that when scanned, links back to their database to show vaccination dates, confirmation, etc.

Basically your phone will be your "Passport" linked in to the vaccination records.

The paper cards are useless, easily duplicated and faked.

4. I read today that the Buffalo Bills are thinking about

requiring proof of vaccination for fans who attend home games (this was from an Erie County official IIRC) and Cuomo was tapping the breaks on that idea (despite the fact that it seems perfectly reasonable and it would encourage a demographic that's probably vaccine "hesitant.&quot
