“Dust from passport”: Vaccine certificate planning in progress

Tourism Minister Dan Tehan says the federal government is testing a QR code linked to a passport to prove the status of a person’s vaccine this week.

Tehan told Sky News Australia’s chief anchor Kieran Gilbert that he wants the government to “make sure people are ready to travel again” when the border opens. ..

“It would be very difficult to travel without. [double vaccination] Given that most airlines say they need vaccination proof and most countries say they have some vaccination proof, “he said.

“It may change over time, but we want to make sure we’re ready to do it.

After that, Mr. Taehan urged Australians to “dust their passports.”

“Look at your passport, dust it off, and get it early if you need to reissue it.”
