As the mammoth task of COVID-19 vaccination is being carried out, people in India and the rest of the world are hoping life will gradually limp back to normal. The passport to a world as it


was before the virus struck is a passport—a ‘vaccine passport’. Except, it’s not really a passport. Countries around the world, the World Health Organisation, private organisations, and
