• (Drury et al., 2021) 2.Conceptual Framework and Literature Review A COVID-19 immunity certificate would be pivotal in supervising and handling the launch of vaccinations and restoration of the economy (Corpuz, 2021), furthering safer access to various activities (e.g., work, leisure, and travel) while decreasing the risk of spreading the virus, being to some degree contingent on the behavioral and social consequences (Popescu, 2017; SnakeBeings, 2020; Taylor, 2020; Zhuravleva et al., 2020) of certification. Descriptive statistics of compiled data from the completed surveys were calculated when appropriate. 4.Survey Methods and Materials The interviews were conducted online and data were weighted by five variables (age, race/ethnicity, gender, education, and geographic region) using the Census Bureau's American Community Survey to reflect reliably and accurately the demographic composition of the United States. Study participants were informed clearly about their freedom to opt out of the study at any point of time without providing justification for doing so. 5.Results and Discussion COVID-19 immunity certificates provide a reduced restrictive way to ease preventive measures while entailing significant scientific and technical challenges (e.g., fluctuating validity by vaccine type, performance in discontinuing transmission, persistence of immunity, and development of variant strains. (Gostin et al., 2021) Public attitudes are quite approving in relation to the use of vaccine passports for worldwide travel and for protecting vulnerable individuals, but predominantly unsympathetic in association with their deployment for access to work, in addition to educational/religious undertakings or settings.
