When it takes into account natural immunity or very recent negative test results, an immunity passport cannot be reduced to a vaccination record or vaccination certificate that proves someone has received certain vaccines verified by the medical records of the clinic where the vaccines were given., such as the Carte Jaune (“yellow card”) issued by the World Health Organization (WHO), which works as an official vaccination record.
The concept of immunity passports has received much attention during the COVID-19 pandemic as a potential way to contain the pandemic and permit faster economic recovery. Reliable serological testing for antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 virus is done to certify people as relatively immune to COVID-19 and issue immunity documentation. Immunity passports have drawn considerable criticism, particularly with respect to COVID-19, with critics arguing that tests to detect the virus are unreliable and that the vaccines themselves do not confer immunity from infection or prevent viral transmission. Critics also argue that immunity passports violate civil liberties and are likely to result in a two-tiered or segregated society.
