- supermatt 5y agoThey dont expire after 1 hour - where did you hear that?
- Spooky23 5y agoI think there is a green pass for unvaccinated individuals that allows an antigen test to be used. Those tests are only valid for a few hours, varying by jurisdiction. (I think most US states accept these for 6 hours)

- Spooky23 5y agoDepends on the cert. I know when I got the NY excelsior pass, the certificate expired about 6 hours after either the test was administered or results determined. (Don't remember which)
- supermatt 5y agoSorry - i deleted my comment as I thought it was superfluous, but to reiterate - "it would be the validity for the test, not the cert". It is entirely possible that there was an expiry set, but you wouldn't be able to "reissue" it with a new expiry date, in contrast to what GP was suggesting.
- Spooky23 5y agoNo worries. This stuff is all as clear as mud, and different jurisdictions take differing approaches. There's a few competing standards, lots of noisy people, etc.
- justinmchase 5y agoThe example in the article seems to show a 1hr expiration but its probably just fake data for the sake of the article.
- CaptainZapp 5y agoAt least the Swiss version has no expiration date. That said, the government communicated that it's currently valid for 6 month after the second jab. This is because the length of effectiveness of the vaccination is not reliably known. I don't know how it works with certificates, which are issued based on a negative test.
- CaptainZapp 5y agocorrecting myself: At least the digital version does have an expiration date six month after the second jab.
- bloak 5y agoThe example in the article seems to expire after 48 hours: 4: 1624458597, # QR code expiry 6: 1624285797} # QR code generated 1624458597 - 1624285797 = 172800 = 48 * 60 * 60 (I would have thought they could afford to be a bit more generous than that. If they were valid for a few weeks then it would be practicable to print them out.)
