| Summary: | The coronavirus pandemic started with some infections in China in December 2019, and in Europe
it started very strongly after March 2020. The first countries severely affected were Italy and Spain. Due to the
lack of specific treatment for COVID19 disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, much work has been done
to create highly effective vaccines to limit the spread of this disease. After the vaccination started, each country
issued a document to each vaccinated person regarding the accomplishment of this. Also, when crossing the
state border between certain countries within the European Union and beyond, it is required to present such a
document. In order to improve these checks, the appropriateness of using biometric iris recognition technology
to replace that document will be explored. Thus, it is proposed that when a person is given a dose of vaccine,
this is supposed to be entered into an international database together with the image of the person’s iris. When
it will be required the proof of vaccination, a check of the person’s iris will be performed in the database, and
the date and time of administration of the vaccine will be provided. The main problem eliminated in this way
will be related to the suspicion of forgery of the document presented in printed format. For people who do not
want to record biometric data in an international database, it remains the option to travel only after performing
a RT-PCR test. |
