Really interesting. I like the choice of leaving the final judgment about immunity outside the code - i.e. to have the client verify that the doses are sufficient and happened in a suitable time window.
That will make things easier when the desired immunity definition changes (i.e. require three vaccinations), and also allows medical staff to make their own judgments.
- denysvitali 5y ago> i.e. require three vaccinations Well, I guess that will invalidate the covid certificate. There seems to be the "number of doses" and "doses received". It will be interesting to see how this will actually be changed if we need more than 2 vaccines to be considered immune. Will they have to re-issue a certificate and invalidate the previous one? Will they let the old certificates expire and issue a new one with the updated total count?
- tomp 5y agoI’m guessing there’s a timestamp of the vaccination… many EU countries are currently saying that vaccination is only valid for 6 months (though I expect this to be a pessimistic estimate, likely to increase soon)

- pmontra 5y agoNo need to invalidate the old certificate. If the new requirement is 3 jabs and the certificate reads 2, the certificate is useless. The person carrying it will ask for a new one reporting all the 3 jabs.
- denysvitali 5y agoYes but then the "total doses" field is useless :S
- kiallmacinnes 5y agoTheres a whole extra layer of legal complexity here :) e.g. some countries will consider you fully vaccinated X weeks after your 2nd jab of a specific vaccine. Others will say it's X+1 weeks. The system has been built so that these decisions aren't in the cert itself, rather each country can layer on "business rules" on top. So - even if the cert expiry date is likely to be set far into the future, that has zero bearing on if it will be accepted or considered expired.
- nraynaud 5y agoA lot of people already require 3 shots. All transplanted, in dialysis and chemotherapy patients in France are shot 3 times as a rule, and a lot of them still get tested afterwards.
