<Anchor> As
corona vaccine vaccination started overseas, how to distinguish people with immunity is being discussed.
It is suggested to use a'vaccination passport' that contains vaccination information, but it may be a necessity when boarding an airplane in the future.
This is Kim Soo-hyung, correspondent from Washington.
<Reporter> On a
family trip, Mr. Cowl confidently shows his corona vaccination certificate at the airport.
Since he, his parents, and siblings were all doctors, they were vaccinated against the coronavirus.
[Juzit Cowl/Corona Vaccination (Doctor): There are many doctors in my family.
I was lucky.
It's probably the first family to
get the corona vaccine
.] In the
future, it seems that corona vaccination information can be easily verified with a smartphone app.
The vaccine passport company puts the vaccination information received from the medical institution in a QR code so that the airline can read it immediately.
[Tom Frieden/Former Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): These certificates will give people more freedom to travel or enter certain places.
Vaccine passports will allow us to reach the new standard the fastest.]
The great advantage of vaccination passports is that they are easy to store and difficult to forge.
However, there is also a lot of anxiety about collecting sensitive medical information and confirming the vaccination.
[Tay/Traveler: I feel like I'm invading my privacy.
I don't think it's fair to have to show whether or not you got the
vaccine
.] In
order to create a vaccine passport, not only a non-profit organization but also a large IT company has added it. It is expected to be.
