The Australian government has opened talks with international airlines on digital vaccine passports for people who have been inoculated against COVID-19.
The Australian Border Force (ABF) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) which represents about 290 airlines have been in discussions about vaccinated Australians using the IATA Travel Pass, the Guardian Australia reported on Thursday.
It comes one day after Prime Minister Scott Morrison flagged the idea of a digital vaccination passport.
On Thursday he said holders of vaccination passports could be allowed to be exempt from domestic travel restrictions.
“That is likely to see more strains, more variants, come through, so we have to be exceptionally cautious,” Morrison told radio station 3AW.
