My grandparents got their vaccine shots recently and according to government authorities I should get mine by June at the latest. Where in the world can I travel with a "vaccination passport"? To clarify: I'm looking for regions where there's a distinct entry procedure for those who can prove they've been vaccinated. I.e. usually travelers have to take a PCR test, but those who are vaccinated are exempt from that rule.

Bonus questions:

  1. What kind of forms/cards are accepted as a "vaccination passport"?
  2. Does it matter which vaccine you've received?

This question might sound a bit far fetched at the moment, but more than 181 million shots have already been distributed around the world so this will soon become a central policy question for many countries.

Adding an answer based on IATA's COVID travel page. You can find the full text of the exemption on the IATA page, only adding the country names here for brevity.

Only citizens of select countries can go

  1. All EU/EEA countries - varying conditions as to what certificates are accepted but generally only EU/EEA citizens may enter using them. There are some exceptions for US and Israeli citizens and more are likely to open up soon.

Any official vaccination certificates seem to be acceptable, as long as vaccinations from your nation are recognized by the country you are entering. I.e. Iceland accepts the US-issued CDC vaccine certificates.
