I know's it's from a film (Contagion), but a bracelet like this with a unique barcode could work.
How would this work with international travelers? How would people from other countries prove that they have the vaccine? With documents in their own language that no one else can read?
It might be helpful if there was some sort of government issue proof of vaccination card to standardize this sort of thing. I imagine the conspiracy group would lose their minds having to carry government ID as proof of a vaccination though.
Having the document in english should be enough in every international airport.
I'm curious how they plan to check though. Presumably you just get a piece of paper when you are vaccinated that anyone can just copy...
It's no different to when applying for a visa to a country you need to certify in some instances that you've had a given vaccination in your application. If you're found to have lied in that application or cannot provide evidence, you can be detained upon entry.
Australia has some of the most advanced port of entry tech in the world, it wouldn't surprise me if they implement scanning of vaccination cards.
I imagine those who can't be vaccinated will be able to provide evidence they can't do so. Also, this would likely be 1.5-2 years away, just due to the amount of time it's going to take to actually vaccinate everyone, on top of us not knowing how often vaccines will need to be taken yet
All that being said, good direction. Anti-vaccine attitude has to be absolutely crushed.

Most vaccination cards apply a printed label from the vial, certainly for kids vaccines (not the flu shot). It'll likely be similar, guaranteed most governments around the world will want to keep track of and have proof of vaccination.

Yup. I'd require a bracelet with a unique indicator
I'm sure there are shady doctors willing to forge things for money.
It needs to have a rapid test component
I'd gladly carry a proof of vaccination card if it guaranteed that I could travel without having to share space with antivaxxers.

Indeed. No doubt there will be people who find nefarious ways to get around this.
They may initially use the international certificate of vaccination from the CDC/WHO (the yellow card) as proof that you were vaccinated. Later down the line I expect it to be like a visa process where you upload proof into their database
Question for Med-ERA here...I'm on medical treatment that precludes me from being vaccinated with live virus vaccines. Are these corona vaccines on the horizon live (weakened?) virus vaccines?
Bracelets like these are currently getting tested here in germany so i think there is a good chanceI know's it's from a film (Contagion), but a bracelet like this with a unique barcode could work.
This is a good decision and I honestly feel it should apply to all businesses.
No doubt the Trumper and anti-vax crowd will start comparisons with Jews in Nazi Germany.

Good, hopefully this spreads to all forms of public transit. The bus is my only way of going downtown & obviously I can't do that with COVID being a thing.
Covid Passports Seen as Key to Resuming International Travel
Global airline lobby IATA is working on a mobile app that will help travelers demonstrate their coronavirus-free status, joining a push to introduce so-called Covid passports to speed up the revival of international travel.

The main vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are mRNA vaccines which do not contain a weakened virus or a virus protein. It encodes the body to make the viral protein directly into the body and lets the body learn how to fight the infection
I guess it depends where you get it?
At CVS you have your label with the (in this case, flu) vaccine on it, and paperwork that has your name stating you got it.
An international recognized certificate of vaccination already exists.

I may as well latch on to this question since I have a similar one, some vaccines are made in eggs and I have a severe allergy to those which means I absolutely cannot have them, are any of the Covid ones a problem for me?
