There are currently ongoing discussions in the EU, WHO, WEF as well as within most countries on how vaccine-certificates can be part of the effort to reopen the global economy and enable cross-border travel. However, for a number of countries it is “test and learn” for the vaccine ops that will ensure that everyone is offered the vaccine soon.

Some have central vaccine registries; others have decentralized and while a number even face incomplete or non-compatible systems for registering vaccines. How can states technically build digital systems for the issuing of vaccine-certificates? How can states generate a common administrative process that would cultivate a regime of mutual trust in order to guarantee the authenticity of the certificates for them to be recognized globally.
