White House sees no federal mandate for COVID-19 vaccine verification

The White House said it ยิงปลายังไงให้แตก expected the private sector to take the lead on verification of COVID-19
vaccines, or so-called vaccine passports, and would not issue a federal mandate requiring everyone to
obtain a single vaccination credential.

The Biden administration was reviewing the issue and would make recommendations, White House press
secretary Jen Psaki said on Monday (Mar 2(), but she added, "We believe it will be driven by the private
sector."

Japan is gearing up to issue digital health certificates to citizens who have been vaccinated against the novel
coronavirus, joining China, the European Union and others that have adopted similar measures aimed at
opening up overseas travel, the Nikkei reported on Saturday.

Psaki said the White House was leading an inter-agency process looking at these issues, and would provide
guidance in line with several key principles:

"There are a couple key principles that we are working from. One is that there will be no centralized universal
federal vaccinations database, and no federal mandate requiring everyone to obtain a single vaccination
credential," she said.

"Secondly, we want to encourage an open marketplace with a variety of private sector companies and
nonprofit coalitions developing solutions. And third, we want to drive the market toward meeting public
interest goals."

Psaki said the Biden Administration would work to ensure that all vaccination credential systems met key
standards such as universal accessibility, affordability and availability, both digitally and on paper.

She gave no indication when the process would be completed.
