Apps could take the place of paper cards to prove you've gotten the vaccine -- but will anybody accept them? And if so, which one?

Los Angeles County allows people who have received a Covid-19 vaccine from them to load proof into their Apple Wallet on their iPhone.

Doctor Richard Dang , Assistant professor USC School of Pharmacy, administers a Covid-19 vaccine to Ashley Van Dyke as mass-vaccination of healthcare workers takes place at Dodger Stadium on January 15, 2021 in Los Angeles, California.People who get vaccinated against Covid-19 at Dodger Stadium leave with inoculation against the virus, a band-aid on their arm, and a CDC card with handwritten details such as when it was provided and which type of vaccine it was.

"You've given those CDC paper cards that document you've received it, but early on, we were concerned about it, because in this day and age, people just carry their phones around," Claire Jarashow, director of vaccine preventable disease control at the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health said.

The airline industry is particularly motivated, as it faces a second straight year of depressed international travel. It really wants a system that can be checked and verified, as airlines have seen people presenting fake or photoshopped Covid-19 tests so they can fly.

I look forward to the time that the vaccines are readily available to all who want them, but this is a horrible tech initiative that is overreaching, goes against our healthcare privacy standards, and sets a very bad precedent.

Rev.13...He required everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead.And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name.

Who is protecting the unborn and those of childbearing age or younger?

No thank you.

If i have my injection, i want a passport and show it to everybody that want to see it !

force people to get what?...havnt seen any

Can and generate personal QR code for easy use and tracking.

Absolutely no thanks. I have the vaccine but I do not need big tech tracking me.

That little paper card, not signed by anyone. Really is not sufficient

Why not just take a photo of your vaccine paperwork and keep that photo on your phone? And take a paper copy as back-up when you travel?

I’m waiting for THIS!

and people are racing away from those companies

Will there be a difference in vaccines , we shall soon , should we say some , shall soon see ... lololol

horrible
