An App Has Been Developed To Verify Your COVID-19 Vaccine Status
A political debate has erupted over the idea of requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination for entry into certain settings. While politicians argue over equity and privacy concerns, some businesses and institutions are moving ahead and developing apps for people to prove their status easily and securely.
When students return to Cornell University for the fall semester, for example, they’ll be required to be vaccinated with exemptions for medical or religious reasons.
“We want to have the most normal semester that we can,” says Michael Kotlikoff, the university’s provost. And he says the best way to do this “is really to achieve herd immunity that protects everyone” so that activities can resume in dorms, classrooms, and around campus.
