Since March 2021, together with the acceleration of COVID-19 vaccine roll-outs, a debate has arisen-notably in the northern hemisphere countries- about the possibility of creating a mechanism to monitor andelectronically control vaccine inoculations and to allow certain economic activities to restart.
