ABSTRACT. Employing recent research results covering the implementation of digital vaccine passports to control the spread of COVID-19, and building our argument by drawing on data collected from Access Now, Becker, CNN, and Royal Society, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding the ethical and legal acceptability of COVID-19 vaccine passports. Descriptive statistics of compiled data from the completed surveys were calculated when appropriate.
