Vaccine Passports


 

What are vaccine passports?


Proof – vaccine passports are documents which prove that you have had your vaccine against certain diseases, such as COVID-19

Usage – they have been introduced in order to restore international travel for citizens who have been vaccinated

History – in certain places, they have been in place for a long time, for vaccines like the one against yellow fever


The pros

Safety – the safety of the public when returning back to the pre-pandemic activities

Encourage vaccine uptake – Vaccine Passports could increase vaccine uptake

Protect the NHS – through awareness-raising campaigns and policies

Prevent the spread– through raising awareness, social media, peer support


The cons

Patient Autonomy – patients are responsible for their own informed choices

Boundaries – could these be socioeconomic, cultural or even medical

Exceptions – what about the patients who are contraindicated to get the vaccine?

Accessibility – do all people have access to vaccines or will this just increase inequalities?


Situation

To what extent would mandatory vaccine passports, say nightclub entry, curtail personal autonomy?
