The total economic loss of covid-19 in terms of GDP and health costs is

estimated to be around 16 trillion dollars, according to a study by two

To put that in perspective, that is 90 percent of total GDP.

Clearly, we need to focus on reopening the economy as soon as possible.

And I'm hearing there's talk about a vaccine passport.

What is that? Yes, this is this kind of futuristic idea where we actually

have a requirement to get a certificate of vaccination before we can do

things. It's pretty clear that vaccination certificates are moving

forward. And given that, you know, how do we do it Right?

What if we were to be required to prove to employers, airlines or sporting

I think it's a little premature to be thinking and to be talking about how

do we get people these immunization certificates.

Last thing you want to do is create further inequalities and make people

feel like they they really can't access the same things.

We have to be ready for this to happen in the future.

And if we missed the window a little bit and don't make money off that or

whatever, that the financial goal is some way, shape or form, we've all

realized that this has got to be in place.

So what are vaccine verifications exactly?

And can they speed up a return to normal?

For herd immunity, between 58 percent and 94 percent of the population need

to be immune, that means anywhere from one hundred and ninety two to three

As of mid-January 2021, nearly 10 million Americans have received at least

their first dose of a covid-19 vaccine, while the vast majority of

Americans believe that the vaccine is important to facilitate a return to

normal life. Nearly half plan to defer vaccination for three months or up

to a year. And so this, I think, combined with the inherent challenge of

manufacturing and distributing vaccines, really threatens to slow progress

towards herd immunity and ultimately to economic recovery.

That's where immunization verification, passports or certificates could

come in. Remember the yellow card immunization forms?

in the age of the global pandemic, That could be a smartphone application

If we can make it work with travel, I think it allows us to study the

technology as well as the validation, as well as to keep the confidence

and privacy that will then allow us to think about how do we use this for

other things. I don't think it's going to make and I don't believe it's

going to make social distancing and masking go away until we hit herd

immunity. But I think it's again, it's this process of maybe we can reopen

For nearly five years, the Kutta Gruder has been advocating for digital IDs

as a basic human need, especially in developing countries.

She's currently on a WHO sponsored working group for smart vaccination

certificates over the course of six months.

The group is hoping to establish global standards for these types of

solutions. This is a very complex multistakeholder effort.

Obviously, they're trying to do this at an international level.

But the idea is to do something I think quite similar to what we've done

with ID 2020 certification, which is what are the specifications of a good

digital ID solution or in this case, a smart vaccination certificate.

And how do we get to the point where there's almost a list of WHO

recognized solutions, but we don't pretend that in the interim some of

these solutions are moving forward independently.

Dozens of startups, as well as major companies like Microsoft,

Ticketmaster, Apple and Google have shown interest or are currently

working on creating their version of an immunization certificate for

I think where we're at, at least on the technical side, is a bit of a Wild

West. You know, it's pretty clear that vaccination certificates are moving

forward. And given that, you know, how do we do it?

Right. And how do we ensure that that investment is is made in the in the

This is not the time to move fast and break things.

Onfido is one of the startups who jumped on the idea early as an identity

verification company with two hundred million dollars in funding.

So the first thing where we fit in is making sure that it is Kevin Trilli

or Tala That is the person signing up for this service.

And then there's a second step that says use the core service, book your

your travel in the case, decide how or whatever.

Then the third is being able to add a new piece that says embed your

health status as part of that application so it can be shared with the

And then in the case of the other one, with employment, you sign up for

the service, you declare your employment status, and then you'd have some

health testing status that you would update and maintain so you can come

The life cycle of a pandemic looks something like this.

Right now. We're in the pandemic phase, meaning there's widespread human

infection. Even with a vaccine, there's a lot we don't know, for example,

the duration of immunity or if asymptomatic transmission can happen

And more importantly, only about three percent of the U.S.

Our focus should be on getting people vaccinated.

Once we get enough people vaccinated that we can actually then we can

leverage that vaccinated pool as a as something that we can use.

That's when I think that immunization certificates become, something we

can talk about. That should happen around a time 40 to 50 percent of the

population have been vaccinated, according to L.G..

If the pandemic turns endemic, meaning seasonally circulating in society,

or we simply reach herd immunity, the use of verification solutions

It could be a year, right, depending on how slowly we got there.

And we remember as if more people take vaccination, if we stay, we're

staying below that seventy five percent threshold that say, let's use that
