Vaccination status – namely,\u00a0who IS and\u00a0who IS NOT vaccinated is hotly debated on every front.\u00a0The Covid-19\/vaccine passport purports to help. \u00a0These passports are digital or paper documents that show you were vaccinated against COVID-19, and\/or have recently tested negative for the virus.\u00a0 This documentation is increasingly required as prerequisite for entering private venues, workplaces and even government offices in Europe and U.S. states like California and New York alike. However,\u00a0Digital rights and privacy advocates are sounding the alarm on normalizing sharing\u00a0\u00a0private health data simply to eat at a restaurant.\u00a0\u00a0Or having to have your mobile scanned and thus tracked by entities as varied as governments to small enterprises. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How can we balance the\u00a0individual privacy rights protecting the public health,\u00a0especially when using technology such as COVID\/vaccine passports?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
