The World Health Organisation and the European Union yesterday announced their collaboration on global digital vaccine passports at a joint press conference in Geneva.<\/p>\n

According to the press release\u00a0posted on the WHO website<\/a>:<\/p>\n

In June 2023, WHO will take up the European Union system of digital COVID-19 certification to establish a global system that will help facilitate global mobility and protect citizens across the world from on-going and future health threats, including pandemics. This is the first building block of the WHO Global Digital Health Certification Network (GDHCN) that will develop a wide range of digital products to deliver better health for all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said:<\/p>\n

Building on the EU\u2019s highly successful digital certification network, WHO aims to offer all WHO Member States access to an open-source digital health tool, which is based on the principles of equity, innovation, transparency and data protection and privacy. New digital health products in development aim to help people everywhere receive quality health services quickly and more effectively.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Based on the\u00a0EU Global Health Strategy<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0WHO Global strategy on digital health<\/a>, the initiative follows the November 30th 2022 agreement between the EU and WHO to enhance strategic cooperation on global health issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis further bolsters a robust multilateral system with WHO at its core, powered by a strong EU,\u201d the press release states.<\/p>\n

Thierry Breton, EU Commissioner for Internal Market, said:<\/p>\n

With 80 countries and territories connected to the EU Digital COVID-19 Certificate, the EU has set a global standard. The EU certificate has not only been an important tool in our fight against the pandemic, but has also facilitated international travel and tourism. I am pleased that the WHO will build on the privacy-preserving principles and cutting-edge technology of the EU certificate to create a global tool against future pandemics.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the WHO press release, \u201cone of the key elements in the European Union\u2019s work against the COVID-19 pandemic has been digital COVID-19 certificates\u201d, and now the WHO will \u201callow the world to benefit from convergence of digital certificates\u201d.<\/p>\n

The scheme is set to be expanded to include all the vaccinations covered by the \u2018yellow card\u2019\u00a0International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

WHO will not have access to any underlying personal data, which would continue to be the exclusive domain of governments, the press release claims.<\/p>\n

The WHO and the European Commission will \u201cwork together to encourage maximum global uptake and participation\u201d, it adds.<\/p>\n

Vaccine passports are controversial, even in the United Nations, of which the WHO is an agency. On June 30th 2021, as the movement for Covid vaccine passports gained momentum, the UNESCO World Commission for the Ethics of Science and Technology and the UNESCO International Bioethics Committee released a\u00a0joint statement<\/a>\u00a0warning that \u201cany COVID-19 certificate should be introduced and implemented with great caution\u201d and \u201cshould account for scientific uncertainty regarding the degree of protection that specific vaccines, past infections and negative COVID-19 test results provide\u201d. Vaccine passports should also \u201cnot work against sustainable development\u201d.<\/p>\n

In light of these concerns, the UN agencies proposed that \u201ca research programme should be developed to assess their impact on society and public health, and the risks they might bring\u201d.<\/p>\n
