CNN broadcast on the 27th (local time) reported that the work of developing a’vaccine passport’ that proves the vaccination is in full swing while vaccination has begun in the United States and the European Union (EU).
The idea is to create a digital certificate that can prove that people who have been vaccinated can prove that they have been vaccinated when they enter another country to travel or go to a movie theater, concert hall, or stadium.

The Commons Project, a non-profit organization in Geneva, Switzerland, and the World Economic Forum (WEF) are pushing ahead with a plan for the’Common Trust Network’ to develop a’Common Pass’ app that will be used for this purpose.
Using the CommonPass app, people can upload not only the results of the Corona 19 test, but also medical data such as vaccination certificates issued by hospitals and medical experts. In this way, a medical certificate or pass that can be presented as evidence to the health authorities without revealing sensitive personal information is issued in the form of a QR code.
The app also shows you a list of health pass requirements, depending on your origin and destination, as you enter your itinerary.
They are working on development in collaboration with airlines such as Cathay Pacific, Jetblue, Lufthansa, Swiss Airlines, United Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, and hundreds of medical corporations in the United States and Dutch Aruba Island.
Thomas Cramton, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer of the Commons Project, said, “You can get tested every time you cross borders, but you can’t get a vaccine every time you cross borders.”
Director Cramton called the certificate “digital yellow paper” in comparison to “yellow paper,” a certificate of vaccination against yellow fever required when traveling to Africa.
Large information technology (IT) companies are also joining. IBM has developed its own app called the’Digital Health Pass’. Companies, concert halls, conference halls, stadiums, etc. can customize the requirements necessary for admission, such as fever tests, corona 19 tests, and vaccination records.
CNN pointed out that in the future, app developers may face challenges such as privacy issues and different efficacy of each vaccine, but pointed out that the most urgent challenge may be avoiding the inconsistent implementation of the contact tracking app for people infected with COVID-19.
In the United States, since there is no unified federal government guidelines, each state independently introduced them and implemented them as a tinkering prescription.
The non-profit “Linux Foundation Public Health” is preparing a more organized response in partnership with the “Covid-19 Credentials Initiative”, a group of representatives from Common Pass and many organizations around the world.
If this is successful, the Linux Foundation’s director Brian Velendoff will be able to present it when people keep their vaccination certificate on their smartphones and when they get on a flight to another country or enter a concert in another country. Forecast.
“It must be possible to exchange information with each other, just like e-mail or the Internet,” said Velendoff.
