The nation’s very first “vaccine passport” is coming to the Big Apple.
The program, dubbed the “Excelsior Pass,” is an app that will allow New Yorkers to prove their vaccination status, or recent history of a negative COVID-19 test, in order to gain entry to events and businesses, Governor Cuomo announced in a news release Friday.
“Similar to a mobile airline boarding pass, individuals will be able to either print out their pass or store it on their smartphones using the Excelsior Pass Wallet app,” the news release explains.
“Each Pass will have a secure QR code, which participating businesses and venues can scan using a companion app to verify proof of COVID-19 negative test results or proof of vaccination. An individual’s data is kept secure and confidential at all times.”
The app won’t show any health information when scanned — it’ll only show a green checkmark if the person has been vaccinated or tested negatively or a red “x” if they haven’t.
Major venues, such as Madison Square Garden and the Times Union Center in Albany, will begin using the app next week and on April 2, Excelsior Pass will expand to “smaller arts, entertainment and event venues,” Cuomo’s office said.
The app, which launched Friday, already works to prove vaccination status or negative test results and can be used to gain access to wedding receptions, which now require negative tests from attendees, and other events above the social gathering limit.
“New Yorkers have proven they can follow public health guidance to beat back COVID, and the innovative Excelsior Pass is another tool in our new toolbox to fight the virus while allowing more sectors of the economy to reopen safely and keeping personal information secure,” Cuomo said in a statement.

I’d say you’re on par. I don’t know when for sure, but we all know it’s coming.
I’d like to know who developed this vax pass...
Follow the money.
My great-grandfather came to the US from Slovakia as a young child. While researching my family I came across a 1917 military census that he was required to fill out. He stated that part of his thumb was missing. I’ve always wondered how that happened. Now I know.
The “Excelsior Pass” - Democrats have a way of perverting words so they sound soooo good. Disgusting.
How ironic that thousands are coming across the border with no papers and not being tested, yet US citizens are being prepped to be required to carry digital codes....
Why do I have the feeling Gates and Google are involved in this...
Is Cuomo going to get a bunch of “passports” that say “I’m not a serial sexual predator”, “I’m not a Mafia supporter”, I’m not insane”, “I’m not trying to be a mini-Mussolini, and “I’m not Chris Cuomo’s brother”?
“He stated that part of his thumb was missing. I’ve always wondered how that happened. Now I know.”
Interesting. Contained in immigration papers for my grandfather who immigrated from Poland in 1920, there was mention of a missing finger. I too wondered how that happened. I wonder if the reason is similar to that of your grandfather.
Yes, losing revenue is the gameplan...all the way through 2022. As long as they can reach out and touch Congress...getting a massive bucket of money, there’s no need to go back to regular business.
I suspect the Republicans will capture the 2022 House, and at that point, the ‘train’ stops.
“Who do these “vexed” consult/complain to, when they suffer adverse effects from these experimental, unproven agents?” ******************************************************
“Dr. Erik Christensen, Utah’s chief Medical Examiner, said proving vaccine injury as a cause of death almost never happens.”
“Christensen can think of only one instance where you would see a vaccine as the cause of death on an official autopsy report, and that would be in an immediate case of anaphylaxis — one where a person received the vaccine and died almost instantaneously, he said.
“Short of that, it would be difficult for us to definitively say this is the vaccine.”
A more likely result would be a lack of answers or an “incomplete autopsy.”
Silly Rabbit! Don’t you know that EVERY death is due to Covid-19. NO deaths are caused by the Vaccines!
Good on you!
Not having smartphones or leaving them home will throw a monkey wrench into NY’s plot to control people...
No QR code, no covid proximity alert app, no vaccine passport.
Treat the smartphone like a landline.

“Lawsuits coming
Can you be forced to participate ...”
No.
Not when the vaccines have Emergency Use Authorizations.
Per the EUA rules, a vaccine that is under the EUA can’t be made mandatory.

It will be interesting to see NY’s efforts to get around this federal law.”
How are hospitals, Dr offices and similar businesses getting around this law?
If it can’t be proven that a vaccine caused a death, then how are life insurance policies getting cancelled when someone dies after getting vaccinated?
yikes
You have one of those new-fangled aut-oh-moh-biles?
"No true Luddite..."
Seriously: How does a self-proclaimed Luddite post on Free Republic? Shouldn't you be using - I dunno - smoke-signals?
Regards,
On the other hand - those were dangerous times for everyone; lots of people (sawmill employees, etc.) had missing fingers.
Regards,
HELL TO THE NO!!
Yep, EVIL is ALWAYS profitting unfortunately!!!!!
They are involved, and LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS... of other EVIL people, organizations, companies, politicians, etc.!!
Interesting question. Wish I had an answer. Maybe the statnews.com article is wrong?
