Digital Passports
Digital wallets containing Covid
testing, vaccines and other
health information available to
the CBP and CDC here in the U.S
and more and more countries are
in pilot programs every week to
prove Covid health measure taken
when travelling. Some passports
even have real time information
on travel restrictions and requirements
around the world.
Excelsior Pass for large
venue events
Covid testing through the EP
will allow for attending Barclays
and other events. See story and
details on p. 27 in this issue.
Covid Vaccines
Vaccines are available to airport
workers, those over 65 and
those with serious conditions under
the 1b group.
Super vaccine centers are in
operation at Aqueduct, Citifield,
Yankee Stadium, Javits Center
and other neighbor centers meant
to serve that local community.
CVS will be offering shots as well.
Vaccines are in short supply so
it is still a long wait once a reservation
is made.
Reactions to the second shot
vary from nothing to a 24 hour
period of some aches. Tylenol sill
work fine in mitigating uncomfortable
feelings.
