A4A: Health credential could expedite travel experience

A digital health credential “is really just digitizing a little piece of paper that has your vaccine information on it,” explained Sharon Pinkerton, senior vice president of policy at Airlines for America, noting that this innovation will speed passengers through the airport, especially as international entry requirements are put in place. “What a digitized testing or health or vaccine credential would allow us to make that determination automatically without an agent having to touch a piece of paper, look at it, determine it’s accurate and meets the requirements,” she said.
