Inoculation proof needed for international travel
I quite agree as to the need for some form of proof to show that people travelling abroad have received the inoculation for Covid-19.
It makes absolutely no sense to me not to have documentation for this purpose and fail to understand why there should be the extent of dithering that there is in governmental circles.

The doctors would countersign these together with the vaccine batch number and date.
This was operating for decades, so why should we not want to use a simple system to enable passengers to go through country borders more freely?
From my small part, I have pushed our association to push for these with the government, although this is only a stepping stone, as it needs to be an international agreement.
