Depolarizing the COVID-19 Vaccine Passport

A comparative analysis of COVID-19 vaccination certificates in 12 countries/regions around the world: Rationalising health policies for international travel and domestic social activities during the pandemic

“…Each country/region had its COVID-19 vaccination certificates which were not necessarily accredited in another country/region due to different legal systems. This finding broadly supports the work of other studies in this area linking legal issues with COVID-19 vaccination certificates [ 5 , 6 ]. Secondly, as the COVID-19 vaccination certificates in most countries/regions were issued in both print and digital format, the information on personal details needed to be verified by a mobile app or computer system to generate a digital certificate.…”

Recent discussions have highlighted the necessity of COVID vaccination certificates and revealed various issues in the practice of vaccination certificates [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ].

COVID-19 Vaccine Passport and International Traveling: The Combined Effect of Two Nudges on Americans’ Support for the Pass

A review on perceptions of the COVID-19 vaccine passports: A problem solver or a problem maker?

“…With such a severe threat to public health and the sustainability of systems in danger, individual freedoms can be pushed into the background (Osama, Razai and Majeed, 2021;Nga andNhung, 2021: 1339;Seira, 2021: 82-83;Satria, Khalifa, Rabrenovic and Iqbal, 2021: 1;Nalubola, 2021: 2). Unfortunately, few other scientific studies in the literature include discussions on these issues (Naderi et al, 2021;Guidi, Romano and Sotis, 2021;Mithani et al, 2021;Thomas et al, 2021: 7).…”
