For international travel, sure.
I was thinking about that, I guess I can make one for domestic movements and separate them.
Not before the vaccine is available for anyone who wants it.

Iāll be Pfizered up by the 18th of this month. Unless I/m missing something I donāt see how vaccine passports disadvantage anyone. Either way if youāre not yet vaccinated youāll still have to quarantine for 14 days in Taiwan and wonāt be able to travel to some countries. If the vaccinated only have to quarantine for seven days in Taiwan that makes quarantine facilities more available. If theyāre able to travel to other countries sooner and things go well that will give those countries confidence to open up further.
Once the vaccine is readily available to all, then absolutely yes. For certain it should be required for international flights. It should also be required for crowded public places (concerts, restaurants, offices, public transportation).
Not vaccinated? Get vaccinated. (Unless you have a valid medical reason for not being able to). Then once the pandemic is over, we can finally go back to normal. The pandemic, after all, is temporary.
By the way, I donāt like the term āvaccine passportā. Itās not a passport; itās just a card showing you have been vaccinated.
Germany has something similar, an Impfausweis where any vaccination the holder got is written in. Itās purpose is providing information for doctors and hospitals wether the holder has been vaccinated i.e. against measles or not and if the vaccination is recent. The healthcare system is not centralised like here in the so I think itās kinda useful. But except the name, birthday and maybe the blood type, thereās not much personal information in it. Almost no one writes their address on it. The biggest argument against it is that the darn thing never canāt be found when needed 
Campaign poster for measles vaccination, playing on the fact that almost noone knows where their vaccine passport is from 2017
I would not be so sure about āgetting back to normalā.
Take a look at this current app in Saudi Arabia. Do you think it will be removed once things are āback to normalā?
If it is for international travel, they could stick a sticker in your passport, almost like a visa. If you donāt have a passport, then you donāt need the vaccination stickerā¦
Not sure if this was posted already, but the US CDC just released guidance on what vaccinated people ācan do.ā Includes travel without testing or quarantine.

As long as they donāt place a microchip into my body, I would take the vaccine passport. But I think itās better if my COVID vaccination was stamped into my passport so that way it would be easier for them to see it rather than carry two documents.
Good idea.
I voted donāt know because I am afraid of not being able to travel due to Taiwan crap vaccine arrangements.
But otherwise I might have voted Yes.
It will be very difficult to standardise vaccine passports. The EU will gave some green passport scheme or something .
No, for all sorts of reasons, some scientific and some philosophical. Iām truly surprised how many people support the ongoing government obsession with COVID-19 and the accompanying destruction of every civilized ideal that weāve painstakingly developed over the past few hundred years. The idea of restricting domestic movements, in particular, is in direct contravention of the UN Declaration of Human Rights. Whatās the point in anybody signing all this high-falutinā verbiage if, when push comes to shove, it means nothing?
As Iāve remarked before, I think Western culture is lying dead in a ditch, and there are a lot of people lining up to spit on the corpse. Ten years from now I suspect theyāre going to regret their unquestioning acceptance of all this.
This isnāt just government but related to personal and business liability .
For instance airlinesā¦Cruise shipsā¦Train operatorsā¦Resortsā¦Schoolsā¦Hotelsā¦Festivals.
Who is liable if they get sued ? Do they have a duty to screen for danger and also protect their staff and customers ?
It gets complicated pretty fast.
Iāve no idea. Who is liable is a ship sinks in bad weather? There are various legal principles that govern āacts of Godā so that people arenāt being sued left right and centre for things that are fundamentally outside of their control.
Vaccine passports do not āscreen for dangerā, at least not with any degree of reliability. Believing that they do is plain old superstition. To what degree do we need to safeguard people from every improbable incident that might befall them?
My question is, if the vaccine doesnāt stop a vaccinated person from contracting the Coronavirus or from passing it on. Taiwan would still need quarantine for people arriving.
So what is the passport for?
Edit/ Sorry Brian, I replied to you but didnāt mean that question aimed at you.
But who will pay the insurance premiums for the added risk ?
Will passengers boards ships where half the passengers are unvaccinated?
Do the staff have a right to not work then , or should be required to vaccinate and then work otherwise they will be a risk ?
This is why you need some kind of record of vaccination .
