Given that Covid-19 inoculations may be given by different
organisations will they really all be recorded in one, accessible,
place?

No reason why that can't be done as with driver's licenses and passports.

No reason it *can't* be done, no, but *has* it been done?

Yes it has in other countries.

The old yellow fever (and other) ones were officially stamped
at the time one was vaccinated but there seems to be no
similar system to 'prove' one has been Covid-19 vaccinated.

Thats what the electronic vaccine passport does.

No one 'offically stamped' anything that I was aware of when I got my
Covid-19 inoculation. Maybe they did but the checking of identity
wasn't very rigorous, nothing like the requirements for a passport.

Again, that can be changed.

Yes, but my question was how is this going to work *now* as everyone
seems to think is possible sort of instantly?


... and how do you prove you are who you
say you are from your mobile phone?

Using your fingerprint or face id.

That assumes that 'they' already know your fingerprint/face,

Nope, the phone just confirms that the fingerprint or face id
matches what the phone has already registered for the owner.
Neither ever leaves the phone with the best phones.

not necessarily true for quite a lot of people.

For Covid-19 'passports' the requirement is that there is a record of
your inoculation somewhere that is *already* identified by (according
to you) my face/fingerprint. I don't believe there are records like
this anywhere.

There dont need to be. And passports and driver's licences already
do that with the photo.
