Vaccination Passports Are New Flashpoint in Covid-19 Pandemic
Ron Raether, a partner and leader of Troutman Pepper's Cybersecurity, Information Governance, and Privacy Practice Group, was quoted in The Wall Street Journal article, " Vaccination Passports Are New Flashpoint in Covid-19 Pandemic."
Meanwhile, outside the U.S., requirements are likely to differ from country to country, said Ronald Raether, partner and lead of the cybersecurity, information governance, and privacy team at law firm Troutman Pepper.
And with so many vaccinated individuals traveling, it opens up a marketplace for private developers, who could use that information not only to digitally store proof of vaccination, but also help consumers book hotels or offer discounts for their advertisers. Some airlines already have apps that request health information.
"There's going to be different verification standards. It's going to happen," Mr. Raether said. "There's too much economic pressure to jump start all of these struggling economies."
