As the World Health Organization and global governments move forward with plans for an updated or new pandemic treaty, other organizations are moving forward with vaccine passport technologies and partnerships.
In July the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, composed of many of the world's industrialized nations, announced it would be promoting the unification of the different vaccine passport systems currently being used around the world.
On July 8, which is also Africa Integration Day, the African Union and the Africa Centers for Disease Control launched a digital vaccine passport valid throughout the African Union, describing it as "The e-health backbone" of Africa's "New health order."
Beyond Africa, Indonesia, which currently holds the rotating presidency of the G20, is conducting "Pilot projects" that would bring about the interoperability of the various digital vaccine passport systems currently in use globally.
ID2020, founded in 2016, claims to support "Ethical, privacy-protecting approaches to digital ID." Its founding partners include Microsoft, the Rockefeller Foundation, Accenture, GAVI-The Vaccine Alliance, UNICEF, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Bank.
Mastercard's top two stockholders are Vanguard and BlackRock, which hold significant stakes in dozens of companies that supported the development of vaccine passports or implemented vaccine mandates for their employees.
World Bank, WHO promote 'pandemic preparedness' and vaccine passports.
