- ItemAustralia's International COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate using Visible Digital Seal TechnologyThe Australian International COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate (ICVC) meets the global standard specified by the ICAO and endorsed by the WHO. The certificate uses Visible Digital Seal (VDS) technology in the form of a QR code that is secure as a passport chip and can be digitally authenticated in the same way as a passport. The QR code can be read at borders globally and by travel apps such as the IATA Travel Pass that many airlines use.
- ItemDigital Documentation of COVID-19 Certificates legal framework assessment and decision-making frameworkThis deck covers insights on relevant frameworks for implementing a digital documentation of COVID certificates and a decision making framework. It establishes guidance for countries to be able to develop policies required to support the implementation of digital COVID-19 certificates in the absence of clearer and more specified policies under the IHR.
- ItemDigital Solutions for Reviving International TravelMcDonald, JamesThis presentation by World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) provides policy and technical recommendations to achieve globally interoperable solutions for COVID-19 digital certificates needed to revive international travel.
- ItemEU eHealth Network Guidelines on Digital COVID CertificatesA EU Digital COVID Certificate (EU DCC) is a digital proof that a person has been vaccinated against COVID-19, has recovered from COVID-19 or has a test result. Therefore, the EU Digital COVID Certificate refers collectively to 3 types of certificates: vaccination, recovery and test. The eHealth Network has published detailed technical specifications describing mechanisms for the interoperability of vaccination, test and recovery certificates (formats and trust management, the EU DCC gateway, 2D barcode, applications, public key certificate governance). In addition, detailed technical structure and value sets to be used in the contents of the EU Digital COVID Certificates are available. Reference implementations are available and have been published as open source. The technical specifications have been officially adopted as a Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/1073 of 28 June 2021, amended by the Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/2014 of 17 November 2021 and 2021/2301 of 21 December 2021. The eHealth Network has collaborated with EU agencies, the Health Security Committee, the World Health Organization and other institutions. Additional work is ongoing to further develop the EU Digital COVID Certificate system. Collaboration with third countries and international organisations is continuing with the goal of enabling international interoperability.
- ItemGenerating Digital Certificates with District Health Information Software (DHIS2) Software(DHIS2 Team, )Several countries use DHIS2 data to produce secure digital certificates for COVID-19 vaccination or negative test results, through integration with external software applications and alignment with national, regional and global standards, including WHO guidelines. These documents provide a overview of the different facets of DHIS2 implementation.
- ItemICAO Visible Digital Seals (VDS-NC) for Travel Related Public Health ProofsA key challenge presented by COVID-19 is the need for global consensus on new approaches for issuance, exchange and verification of various public health status records in some instances required to support cross-border mobility of people in a facilitative way, while still ensuring appropriate risk assessment related to public health. On the basis of the field-proven VDS-technology ICAO presents a solution which combines practicability, security and ease of verification re-using the existing e-passport trust model to address this challenge.
- ItemNational COVID-19 Science Task Force (NCS-TF) Requirements and Scope of Digital CertificatesBugnion, EdouardThe transition away from the global pandemic situation may lead to new public health approaches aimed at allowing a fast restart of the economic and social life while controlling the risk transmission of SARS-CoV-2. These may include the documentation of a recent negative RT-PCR test, the documented presence of neutralising antibodies, or of vaccination. Numerous international digital certification initiatives and standardization efforts are in the early phase of definition. The situation in Switzerland is characterised by an incomplete legal basis and a pragmatic approach towards digital records used for self-documentation. Furthermore, there is no strategy that defines the medical need for vaccination certificates, nor their legitimate uses for non-medical purposes. As a result there is a void in terms of their technical requirements, scope and social acceptability.
- ItemPan-Canadian Vaccination Credentials SpecificationsThe Canadian PVC is designed to be a federal-facing, multi-jurisdictional program, which: ensures a common look and feel, including a Canada watermark, which adheres to the Smart Health Card standards; and is recognized and trusted by foreign states as being endorsed by Canada.
- ItemSMART Health Cards Implementation GuideThis implementation guide provides a framework for "Health Cards", with a short term goal to enable a consumer to receive COVID-19 Vaccination or Lab results and present these results to another party in a verifiable manner. Key use cases include conveying point-in-time infection status for return-to-workplace and travel. This approach should also support documentation of immunization status and other health details.
