One of the largest and oldest civil liberties groups panned proposals by governments and corporations to introduce so-called “vaccine passports,” or documentation that shows people they are vaccinated.

“There is a difference between a standardized system for presenting proof of vaccination, and a digital system for doing so,” the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) wrote. “With more and more of our credentials being displayed through apps on our phones—from airline boarding passes to concert tickets to gym memberships—it strikes many people as an obvious and overdue step to create a similar digital credential for those occasions when a person has to prove that they’ve been vaccinated.”
