It is important to think about the eventual application of a COVID-19 vaccination certificate as an eligibility criterion to carry out certain activities and to discuss in advance the problems that the use of this tool may pose in legal terms. To this end, we must begin by stating the assumptions that would be necessary to justify its implantation, including scientific consensus on the scope of the immunity granted by COVID-19 vaccines, especially in blocking transmission in the community. Likewise, it emphasizes the importance of broadening the view in the sense of internalizing that the passport or vaccination pass constitutes only one of the many options within a rich catalog of possibilities when it comes to reinforcing the recommended vaccination model through incentives adopted in the Vaccination Strategy against COVID-19, including the use of nudging. In any case, if conditionality is installed and expanded to the extent of significantly influencing daily life, it could lead to a kind of indirect obligation, with the risk of dysfunctions in terms of equality and systemic coherence if the public powers do not contribute to clearly define the legal limits beforehand and to drive a process that in itself could be dispersed and disorderly.
将新冠疫苗接种证书作为开展某些活动的资格标准来考虑其最终应用,并提前讨论使用这一工具在法律方面可能带来的问题,这一点很重要。为此,我们必须首先阐述证明其实施合理性所需的假设,包括关于新冠疫苗所提供免疫力范围的科学共识,尤其是在阻断社区传播方面。同样,它强调了拓宽视野的重要性,即要认识到护照或疫苗接种通行证只是在通过针对新冠疫情的疫苗接种战略中所采用的激励措施(包括运用助推手段)来强化推荐的疫苗接种模式时丰富可能性目录中的众多选项之一。无论如何,如果设定条件并扩大到对日常生活产生重大影响的程度,可能会导致一种间接义务,如果公共权力机构不事先明确界定法律界限并推动一个本身可能分散且无序的进程,就存在平等和系统连贯性方面出现功能失调的风险。
