The US government says it won't introduce federally mandated vaccine passports.
But restaurants, sports stadiums, and other venues could require documents as proof a person has been vaccinated.
They may also be required for international travel: https://www.insider.com/do-i-need-proof-of-covid-19-vaccination-to-travel-2021-3

One model the US could look to is Israel, which has led the world both in terms of vaccinating its population and in introducing a vaccine passport scheme.

Who is eligible for a vaccine passport in Israel?Every adult who has received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccination, or who has recovered from the coronavirus.
Children younger than 16 years old who have recovered from the coronavirus can be added to their parent's passport.
Where does a pass allow you to enter?Anyone is allowed to enter a museum or art gallery. Those with a "green pass" can enter venues including:
Gyms and studios Restaurants and cafes Hotels Sporting venues Movie theatershttp://www.businessinsider.com/vaccine-passports-coronavirus-how-will-they-work-in-us-israel-2021-4
What does it mean for travel?Israel has been tight-lipped about when it will ease travel restrictions.
But it has signed a deal with Cyprus and Greece to pilot a scheme that allows vaccinated people to travel freely between the three countries. https://www.businessinsider.com/vaccine-passports-are-a-no-brainer-booking-holdings-ceo-says-2021-4
Counterfeit vaccine passports could be a problem. According to Ran Bar-Zik, a cybersecurity expert in Israel, "there are tens of thousands faking" green passes.
Another issue is that the scheme relies on a centralized database.
