Seattle based startup, Vaccertify has been developing a prototype ‘social pass’ that would play a significant role in saving lives once the Covid-19 vaccine distribution starts. It is an attempt by Vaccertify to help people use a digital vaccination certificate for their phones.
It would give all the required information about whether a person is vaccinated or not. The soon to be launched prototype ‘social pass’ will show a person’s name, his face picture, the name of the Covid-19 vaccine he received, and the completion date of its final shots.
Along with this prototype “social pass”, a scannable QR code will be available to help the inquirer to see the profile of a person on Vaccertify.com. Only those people will receive a digital certificate who complete a COVID-19 vaccination and submit their details such as the vaccine record, a government ID & a selfie to Vaccertify.
Since the national roll-out of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is about to begin, the development of the prototype “social pass” has been accelerated by Vaccertify. The digital “social pass” for Covid-19 vaccines will bring peace of mind to risk-prone people by helping them avoid coming in contact with people who are not vaccinated yet.
Vaccertify Co-Founder & CEO Tiara Lyons developed an idea to build a prototype ‘social pass’ when she was looking for a vaccinated babysitter after her delivery during the Covid-19 pandemic. Vaccertify provides an effective solution for social interactions where both privacy and assurance of vaccination can be maintained.
The company is planning to offer three pricing tiers; 7 day delivery for $49.99, 3 day delivery for $99.99, and 24 hour delivery for $199.99. Vaccertify is waiting for the release of a vaccine to run a pilot program. The Vaccertify digital certificate is not suitable for boarding an airplane or crossing borders.
However, it is suitable for giving assurance to an elderly person to confirm whether a person entering his house is vaccinated or not. It would give such people more safety during the pandemic period to live their lives in a stress-free way.
