If you don't want to provide that information, then don't get on the plane.
Actually, I was referring to rickairs suggestion that it be made an app. I can’t imagine any company wanting the liability of maintaining that database. Requiring the pax to carry their immunization record with them like we did in the military might work, but absent laws to stop it, falsification would be an issue. It’s not like you can’t get service/ESA certification online for a few bucks. For that matter, there are sufficient weird health care providers around, particularly in my state where they let naturopaths do anything and even chiropractors and acupuncturists do way too much. I can picture some ‘doctor of homeopathy’ cranking out bogus certifications. Heck, the FBI can’t keep up with Medicare fraud, do you think bogus immunizations will be a priority for them?

But don’t get the idea that I’m anti vaccine just because I believe there will be problems with enforcement, or distribution because I’m not. I’m just hoping these vaccines coming on line provide longer lasting and more effective protection than the veterinary coronavirus vaccines historically have.
