With millions of Americans being vaccinated against Covid-19 every day, a heated debate is underway do these people need proof of immunization in the form of a vaccine passport?
Just like a national passport, a vaccine passport could allow the bearer entrance to a venue, like a crowded concert, or a foreign country that demands proof of vaccination in addition to a visa and valid national passport.
Vaccination cards from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention aren t quite the same as a vaccine passport. Though they are a record of what vaccine a person got and when, they can easily be forged.

Switzerland-based tech startup Uveya is conducting trials of robots which use ultraviolet light to protect airline passengers from COVID-19.
Uveya tested the production version of the technology on the aircraft of Swiss regional carrier Helvetic Airways last month, in partnership with air services provider dnata.
During the cleaning process, an autonomous sterilization robot emits concentrated UV-C light, which has been used for 50 years to clean hospitals and laboratories.
The device can effectively kill more than 99% of bacteria and pathogens, such as coronavirus, in the air and on all surfaces in a few minutes, without using any chemicals.
Uveya is now working with airlines and train companies on the use case, and looking for investors to deploy the solution at large scale.
