I honestly think you're worrying about a problem that doesn't exist. I need to learn to be more subtle with my humour. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several Filipino ministers are proposing a QR code system to prove you are vaccinated for free movement in the Philippines and considering it for international travel. There's a proposed Bill in parliament I'm sure someone will find the item and post it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The document shall indicate if the holder has already received one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine or had completed the two doses. “Each and every vaccinee will have a QR code… This would be something of a unique identifier for specific person that will receive the vaccines,” she added. Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat said the “passport” would “facilitate international cross border travel with stringent health and safety measures in place.” “The proposal for a ‘COVID-19 passport’ is welcome and will be looked into by the DOT, together with the Inter-Agency Task Force (for the Management) of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF), as it will involve medical data on the vaccines and diplomatic agreements with other countries,” she added. Tourism Congress of the Philippines (TCP) said earlier the issuance of global COVID-19 passport could boost tourism as it would simplify travel procedures, especially by eliminating the need for testing or quarantine for “passport” carrying travelers. “Having that information ready, especially with regard to having been vaccinated, can eliminate some of the processes we now have like testing or quarantines upon arrival,” TCP president Jose Clemente III told The STAR. “That said, we also hope that it is a standardized document regardless of what country the traveler comes from,” he added. The International Air Transport Association said earlier that it is working to launch the IATA Travel Pass, a global and standardized solution to validate and authenticate all country regulations regarding COVID-19 passenger travel requirements. The application aims to enable passengers to create a digital passport as well as verify if their test/vaccination meets the regulations, and share test or vaccination certificates with authorities to facilitate travel. The World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) has called for a stop to discrimination against unvaccinated travelers, emphasizing that testing should be a departure requirement. “It will take a significant amount of time to vaccinate the global population, particularly those in less advanced countries, or in different age groups, therefore we should not discriminate against those who wish to travel but have not been vaccinated,” WTTC president and chief executive officer Gloria Guevara said. “Only a tiny percentage of people around the world have so far received the vaccine, whereas there are vast numbers who have not, but who could be tested, show a negative result and travel safely,” she added. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's done with QR codes that gets rid of a lot of fraud. Without international cooperation a vaccine passport would be useless anyway. To hear that some within government are making positive noises about it bodes well surely considering the likes of IATA and a lot of countries are considering going down that route.
