Digital COVID Vaccine Verification to Aid Individuals and Employers
Presented by ID.me and Sterling
Moderated by OWI
Overview
In this webinar, trusted identity and background services leaders Sterling and ID.me will discuss their joint launch of a convenient, highly secure vaccine verification solution that will be widely available to Americans:
- Over 36 million Americans have ID.me digital wallets, and one million more are added every 15 days. 40,000+ business and organizations rely on Sterling, including for COVID-19 testing
- Digital vaccine and testing verification is critical to the American economy, speeding safe return to workplaces, entertainment venues, schools, volunteer activities, and more
- A QR code in the ID.me portable digital wallet can be displayed on a mobile phone or printed, making immediate verification possible at a workplace or other venue
- Employers will be able to access results through Sterling platforms, fully integrated into their existing workflows
- Individuals control access to their verification, which can be proof of vaccination, proof of on-site testing, or proof of at-home testing
- Harris Poll results show many Americans would feel more confident visiting businesses or using a gig service with digital vaccine verification in place — especially if individuals control their own information
The digital vaccine verification, which will include a QR code for ease of use either on a mobile device or with a printed copy, will show if an individual has:
- Been vaccinated against COVID-19
- Been tested for COVID-19 at on-site testing
- Used an at-home test for COVID-19 exposure
