Default NHS app and vaccination passport.

Same way that electronic passports and drivers
licenses are, confirm with a central database.


So all the details are on a central database.


No need for that with a vaccine passport, just enough details
to ensure that it isnt a fake vaccine passport and that it is yours.

So who now has access to your medical records?


Doesnt need to be anyone except with
your medical record of your covid jabs

Your local publican, the theatre employee at the pay desk?


Nope, no need for any of that on your vaccine passport.

For international travel matching the (travel) passport and vaccination
could be officially checked but how is this going to be achieved for
domestic use?


By having a separate vaccine passport.

How is the organiser of an event going to ensure that you haven't entered
someone else's details into the phone?


By checking that the vaccine passport is yours, the same way
that the cops check that a digital driver's licence is yours and
the same way that digital ID is checked that it is yours when
deciding if you can be served alcohol in a pub or can buy it
at the supermarket or grog shop etc.
