All vaccinated people are getting a cardboard card that contains information about their vaccination status. Problem is, in some parts of the world there are concerns that these cards may be faked.
Samsung has come up with a solution for this challenge.
The tech company devices that support Samsung Pay can now (in the store) store digital versions of users’ Covid-19 vaccination cards, through a partnership with healthcare non-profit The Common Project, announced the smartphone company.
Users are required to first download the free CommonHealth app from the Google Play store and follow the instructions to access their Covid-19 vaccine record, from participating pharmacies, health systems, and health providers (not all providers are connected to the system yet).
Once the user has access to their Covid-19 credential within the CommonHealth app, they can add it to their Samsung Pay wallet. The Covid-19 Vaccine Pass will then be available on the Samsung Pay app home page.
The next stage in the process may be to get restaurants, schools, offices, or other places that may require proof of vaccination, to accept these electronic version.
