Vaccine passports have come to my state.

I was hoping they never would but I read that vaccine passport technology is now being used in my state's capitol. They are also being used in a large city situated beside the capitol. What was a conspiracy theory a year ago has become today's reality. :oops:

What does that mean?

We have the stamped cards here, and a few places like the hospital want to see them. You are still treated if unvaccinated, so I am not sure why. When I was in New Orleans last October many places required the cards for entry.

If they are going to be required why not have an electronic version?

California has both electronic and paper proof of vaccination.

I just saw a link to a related article this morning. If this widespread omicron infection isn't the death knell for serious covid variants (many virologists think it will and an equal number think it won't) it's likely that more countries and states are going to require proof of vaccination for people to attend certain events.

What is a "vaccine passport?" I've never heard that term before. Is it that card showing proof of vaccination, or something else?
 
We have them in New York along with the paper vaccination record cards.

I haven't bothered with it because I rarely go anywhere that would require one.

I do carry the paper vaccination record, but I've never been asked to produce it.

IMO it's no more invasive than being screened by a metal detector or being asked to show a driver's license for ID.
 
It's digital ID technology a person carries on their phone that will include your identity number which you must show or you are not allowed entry to certain establishments. We haven't had anything like this before. People were free to go everywhere except perhaps to rock concerts or arena sporting events. So if is a very big deal here.
 
I have a photo copy of my and my wife's vaccination cards saved in an email online; they have a QR code to verify authenticity.

There is no mandate from the state or county to provide them on demand, although I've heard some public venues require proof of vaccination in order to attend.
 
We've had Vaccine passports for quite a while now, we need them to get into some venues .. and I have mine on my phone.. What concernes me is that they're now saying we can get back to travelling in and out of the country without all the pre pallaver of recent times, and cost of pre covid tests in each country visited, before and after flights , but only if we're fully vaccinated.. in what way ?... double with a booster ?.. or double with every booster that might ever be released..? :unsure:

Well I am in trouble if this happens. Don't know how I would do such a thing on my phone... paper works for me.

When in New Orleans back in October we had to show the paper ones, I never saw anyone do it using a phone.

I think the fear there was that the French Quarter tourist businesses might get shut down unless they showed some real effort. My first time walking around I forgot the papers, some places let me in anyway when I told them they were back in my room, some didn't so enforcement was mixed. Mask mandates were also in place, but inconsistently enforced.

Hols, I think fully vaccinated will mean taking however many boosters your government tells you too. In the U.K. you need 3 shots now to be considered fully vaxxed, your 2 original shots + the booster. They don't make it easy, do they.

they certainly don't..I keep getting texts now to tell me to come for the Booster..I just don't want to..I don't think it's necessary for me to have it, I didn't want the Vaxinations either , but they told me that it would earn me my freedom.. it hasn't... so I'm going to wait and see if they lift the ruling about Booster jabs as we go into 2022.. before I think about flying out of the country...we'll see maybe they'll ultimately feel Booster jabs are unnecessary

Is there a possibility they will lift it? I hope so for your sake. My family members who are vaxxed feel the same as you do and none have taken or want the boosters. I understand. They promise you freedom, you comply and they just give you more to comply with. It never ends. It never goes back to normal. :(

I hear this everyday ... we got the shots because this was the ticket to freedom ... it was not...... it would protect them from getting sick... it did not and the line of "it is so rare" was clearly shown to be exaggerated.....

Now they want round two get a booster for what .... freedom ? .......
Nope just another payout to PHARMA ......
we were told Natural immunity is No good because it fades .... just like the shot fades ...
When does this end........... boosters forever just in case.

i read the other day some tech firm created a passport type app and is used in a few states now...
Some pharmacies as well will provide a QR code for you to scan ...
yet no one tells you were this information is kept/ stored of who has access to this.

According to the CDC, fully vaccinated means the first series of shots. Boosters aren't required to be considered fully vaxxed.

OH no...I'm going to have to find out for sure..I absolutely hope not.... because I really don't want to have the booster, but I do want to get the heck out of this country for a while, as soon as it's safer to do so...

Well I obviously want to go and check on my property in Spain, not having been there for over 2 years due to the pandemic.. but actually I also want to travel somewhere else.. not really sure where yet.. thinking maybe Austria... ..or I might go much further afield if I think I could cope with a 24 hour flight and travel to New Zealand or Australia... but whatever happens I have to travel soon.. I;m sure everyone here in the Uk are chomping at the bit to get travelling too

Hols, you should inquire what the rules are in Spain for entering the country. I know in Europe, in some places, a third dose is deemed necessary to be considered fully vaccinated now. So just find out what will be required where you want to go so you can be prepared.

Oh for sure I will Chic... I've heard so many stories about people who were exploited for expensive tests before they could fly back home...
