I believe that (at least) the US and UK governments intend to issue paper Covid vaccination cards, not intended to be used like travel "passports".
Some countries already require immunization certificates, for diseases like polio, and yellow fever, to prevent global spread.
And decades ago, international travelers carried "International Certificates of Vaccination", approved by the World Health Organization, and sponsored by the US Department of Health, Education and Welfare Public Health Services.
A record of immunization has other benefits besides foreign travel. "It will help to ensure accuracy of dates for any future booster vaccinations or the ability to notify vaccine recipients of any discovered negative effects over decades.


Now that a COVID-19 vaccine is rolling out across the world, discussion has turned to whether some type of vaccination or immunity "passport" might be required.
At this stage, it's all still speculation.
However, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said, on November 23, that it was in the final stages of developing a digital vaccine passport for travelers. The IATA Travel Pass will let travelers share their vaccination status, and COVID-19 test results, with airlines and border authorities, via a contactless passport app.
CommonPass, which "lets individuals demonstrate their COVID status," will be rolled out this month for passengers on flights from New York, Boston, London, and Hong Kong; JetBlue, Lufthansa, Swiss International Airlines, United Airlines, and Virgin Atlantic are among the airlines taking part. In October, the app was successfully trialed on Cathay Pacific Airways and United Airlines flights between Hong Kong, Singapore, London, and New York.
The International Chamber of Commerce is developing AOKpass.
It remains to be seen, which (if any) of these gains widespread international acceptance.
