WHO Panel Recommends Against Covid-19 Vaccine Passports
Posted on
A World Health Organization (WHO) panel has recommended against requiring proof of vaccination against COVID-19 to travel to other countries.
In a statement Monday, the WHO’s Emergency Committee recommended to Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to avoid mandates for people to prove they are vaccinated before going into other countries.
“Do not require proof of vaccination as a condition of entry, given the limited (although growing) evidence about the performance of vaccines in reducing transmission and the persistent inequity in the global vaccine distribution,” the committee’s recommendation said. “States Parties are strongly encouraged to acknowledge the potential for requirements of proof of vaccination to deepen inequities and promote differential freedom of movement.”
