The International Air Transport Association urged countries around the world to adopt the European Union’s Digital COVID Certificate as the global standard for vaccine certification.
While multiple certificates or digital applications testifying to the low-risk status of holders have been developed, there’s so far no global standard. IATA said the DCC is particularly effective because it’s available in paper and digital form, with a QR code that can be read in both, and features a gateway for the distribution of encrypted data that can extended to issuers from outside the EU.
