New York is the first state to launch a “vaccine passport” program, allowing New Yorkers to pull up a code on their phones to prove they have received a coronavirus vaccine or have tested negative.
New York is the first state to formally launch a “vaccine passport” program, allowing New Yorkers to pull up a code on their phones to prove they have received a vaccine for the Chinese coronavirus or have tested negative.
The vaccine passport, called the Excelsior Pass, is what USA Today describes as a “first-in-the-nation certification,” which will be used at large-scale events and entertainment venues. It became available to New Yorkers on Friday, and the venues that accept it are expected to expand in the coming days and weeks.
This month, the Cuomo administration announced the Excelsior Pass, developed in partnership with IBM, would be tested at Madison Square Garden and Barclays Center.
“We’re doing everything we can to vaccinate as many New Yorkers as possible, as quickly as possible, while keeping the infection rate down and reenergizing our economy in a safe, smart way,” Cuomo said in a statement.
“As we begin reopening the valves on different sectors of our economy, we are putting guidelines in place to ensure individuals attending events involving larger gatherings have tested negative for COVID or have been vaccinated to avoid an outbreak of the virus,” he continued.
“The Excelsior Pass will play a critical role in getting information to venues and sites in a secure and streamlined way, allowing us to fast-track the reopening of these businesses and getting us one step closer to reaching a new normal,” he added.

On the Mexican side of town i can buy a passport, a birth certificate, and a drivers license.... why not a covid card?
Give it a few weeks. It takes a bit of time to break the encryption of the security devices.
Papiere, bitte
I’ll just go to the nearest ‘migrant justice’ office and get my illegal alien pass. Or get a black wide-brimmed hat and claim I’m Amish.
If that is Cuomotose’s idea of a “new normal” I’ll stay ABNORMAL.
You can take it to the bank the commie government will make using a fake covid pass a felony with a minimum 10 year sentence if convicted.
people better flush out their headgear if they think fake covid passes are going to be a way around this, it’s not.
Why isn’t there a category for already having had COVID?
Welcome to Nazi Germany.
But wait!
If you get the vaccine, you can still get the virus and give the virus, so you need to show your vaccine proof AND a negative test result every time you go to one of these special places.
And what about showing you have had the virus???????? Having had the virus should be as good as having had an experimental vaccine.
Funny how there’s absolutely no restrictions on how many people can ride a subway or a bus in New York City. But if you wanna go watch a sporting event you need a COVID passport
Covid Passport? I don't need no steenking Covid Passport!
Waste of money too.
In a few weeks enough will be immune that this will serve no purpose- no medical one anyway.
Ping.
How do they plan to make money from this? In New York State you can’t do anything unless the State gets its cut!
Glad I left NY
But I reject even the notion of compliance with this unconstitutional BS, even falsified compliance. They're going to have to keep me out, and justify it. Which is impossible without violating the Constitution.

I uhhh ... need a “screen capture” of what that looks like .... might just be a market for a similar ‘dummied up’ little app to do the same thing ...
Maybe we should start saying to our liberal friends that we are not taking the Trump vaccine. They will put them between a rock and a hard place.
