According to CBS 12 in Providence, a COVID-19 vaccination passport program that would allow residents to quickly demonstrate their vaccine status could be up and running in Massachusetts and several other states soon.

Governor Charlie Baker said yesterday that proof of vaccination would be available on a qr code on an individual’s cell phone. The code could be quickly scanned to show the person’s vaccination status. The governor said he already has a QR Code on his phone with his vaccination status.

Baker also said that booster shots of the COVID-19 vaccine are available across the state, although it may take from 10 days to two weeks to schedule an appointment to receive one. The state is seeing increased demand for the vaccines, he added with close to 19,000 Massachusetts residents dying from COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic.
