On Thursday, the Swedish government said it would launch a digital coronavirus “vaccine passport” to allow vaccinated people to travel.
Digitalisation Minister Enders Yagman said three officials in Sweden had been asked to work on the certification, and that it planned to coordinate with the World Health Organization and the European Union.
When Sweden and neighboring countries begin to reopen, vaccination certificates will be required for travel and “possibly to participate in other other activities,” Yejman said at a news conference.
The Danish government said Wednesday it is joining forces with businesses to develop digital passports that show whether people have been vaccinated against coronavirus, can travel and help ease restrictions on public life.
Side effects of this Covid-19 vaccine will be considered for breast cancer, doctor’s warning.
“In three, four months, the digital Corona passport will be ready for use, for example, business travel,” Finance Minister Morton Bodeskov told a news conference.
He added: “Being able to revitalize Danish society is crucial for us so that companies can get back on track. Many Danish companies are global companies all over the world, just like the market.”
The Danish government said it would decide later whether the digital passport should be used for purposes other than travel to help reopen public life.

The European Commission, meanwhile, is weighing proposals to issue vaccination certificates to help travelers travel to vacation destinations more quickly and avoid another devastating summer in Europe’s tourism sector. But the EU’s executive arm said such certificates would now only be used for medical purposes, for example to monitor the potential adverse effects of vaccines.
