Digital vaccine passports and digital health diplomacy: an online model WHO simulation

Abstract: In the wake of COVID -19, several nations have sought to implement digital vaccine passports (DVPs) to enable the resumption of international travel. Comprising a minimum dataset for each unique individual, DVPs have the makings of a global electronic health record, broaching key issues involved in building a global digital health ecosystem. Debate simulations offer a safe, interactive space to foster participatory policy discussions for advancing digital health diplomacy. This study used an online simulation … Show more

“…From an international standpoint, developed countries with more persuasive power and clout could coordinate an international effort with, for example, the WHO to ensure more equal access to vaccines and other relevant resources needed to combat the pandemic. In collaboration with the countries mentioned in Table 1 , the WHO also convened a ‘Smart Vaccination Certificate Working Group’ aimed at establishing technical guidance with key specifications and standards, taking into consideration local, national and international challenges [ 79 , 83 , 84 , 85 ]. The technical guidance was developed on standards and an adaptable framework that produces a digital vaccination certificate to support the implementation of VPPs across the globe.…”

Digital health diplomacy, a type of science diplomacy that involves the use of digital technologies to promote global health and well-being, can be useful in this regard [ 75 ]. The Madrid Declaration for Science Diplomacy provides a framework for collaboration and communication between scientists, policymakers, and other stakeholders.…”
