Through the app, patients can request their digital vaccination be delivered securely to their mobile device and then choose to authorize sharing it with businesses of their choice. A simple green check mark alerts businesses that the individual has been vaccinated, with no transfer of any other personal health information. The technology is optional for patients and health care systems, and offers a secure alternative to paper cards.
