Hawaii considering digital vaccine passport for travelers to curb coronavirus spread
Fox News
Hawaii is working towards a vaccination passport for travelers coming in and out of the state during COVID-19.
The state is reportedly aiming to work with Honolulu-based First Vitals to create the app. If implemented, fully-vaccinated individuals will present special QR codes, notifying officials of their status, at travel checkpoints. In the meantime, travelers flying through the Aloha state can present a vaccination card that will be screened by airport personnel to ensure authenticity, Green said. "They would be able to verify the health record, they would then encrypt it so people can’t steal someone’s health record. Although really, all it is is whether you got vaccinated or not and your name and the date it occurred," Green said, according to KHON2. Hawaii Governor David Ige would ultimately have to approve the plan, the outlet reported.More Related News
