An expert has today warned of 'fundamental ethical concerns' over vaccine passports. However Professor Wilkinson, who also appeared on the programme, believes there is a 'strong ethical case' for exploring the prospect of vaccine passports. Scientists have said that standards of vaccine passports already in operation around the world vary and need to be made universal for the certificates to be useful for international travel. No10 has so far denied it has plans to introduce any passport scheme, with vaccine minister Nadhim Zahawi describing their use as 'wrong' and 'discriminatory'. Greek tourism minister Haris Theoharis said that vaccination passports and mass testing could allow for a 'semi-normal summer'.
