目的 引入免疫或疫苗护照是一种非药物干预措施，政府正在考虑使免疫、接种疫苗或其他无风险的个人在冠状病毒大流行期间免受封锁和其他公共卫生限制。这些文件的主要目标是开始重新开放社会、重启经济并恢复到大流行前的正常状态。本文旨在对（拟议的和现有的）COVID-19 免疫护照进行概念性文献分析，以便更充分地将其文献状态置于有关其潜在作用、影响和影响的研究、考虑和对话中。设计/方法/途径受Paula A. Treichler关于理清流行病社会文化现象的理论思想重要性的论点的启发，并借鉴文献、身份和公共卫生的跨学科理论，结合最近有关冠状病毒大流行的新闻报道，本文对涉及免疫或疫苗护照的COVID-19免疫验证新兴文献制度进行了当代概述和概念分析。结果 豁免护照可以实现三个主要的相互关联的目标。首先，他们将为拥有正式文件的人建立并实现对 COVID-19 免疫的官方身份。其次，它们将作为建立和验证个人对冠状病毒的免疫力、疫苗接种或无风险状态的物质证据，这将最终决定和规范他们的行动和其他特权。第三，它们将在个人和政府的官方或公认的 COVID-19 免疫身份类别之间建立切实的联系。因此，免疫护照将个人置于 COVID-19 免疫验证的文件制度内，有助于启用和执行政府权威和权力。研究局限性/影响 在关于 COVID-19 免疫护照（有时也称为证书、许可证或通行证）的不断扩大的跨学科文献中，似乎只很少提及其文件实例，无论是物理文件、数字文件和/或混合文件。迄今为止，还没有任何具体的文件方法或分析豁免护照作为一种文件。纪实方法有助于阐明和强调有关冠状病毒大流行及其相关免疫或疫苗接种的实质性和本体论考虑。社会影响 本文首先探讨了为何免疫护照可以被视为对冠状病毒大流行的公共卫生反应，阐明了这些健康和身份证件对个人和社会的重大影响和影响。因此，本文有助于阐明豁免护照所揭示的身份、证件、公共卫生以及社会政治控制和纪律之间复杂且有争议的交叉点。原创性/价值 本文对（拟议的和现有的）COVID-19 免疫护照进行文献分析，以便更充分地在有关它们的研究和对话中集中其文献状态。
Purpose Introducing immunity or vaccine passports is one non-pharmaceutical intervention that governments are considering to exempt immune, vaccinated or otherwise risk-free individuals from lockdowns and other public health restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic. The primary objective of these documents would be to begin reopening societies, restarting economies and returning to a pre-pandemic normalcy. This article aims to present the start of a conceptual documentary analysis of (proposed and existing) COVID-19 immunity passports in order to more fully center their documentary status within research, considerations and conversations about their potential roles, impacts and implications. Design/methodology/approach Inspired by Paula A. Treichler's argument for the importance of theoretical thought for untangling the socio-cultural phenomena of epidemics, and drawing upon interdisciplinary theories of documentation, identity and public health, combined with recent news coverage of the coronavirus pandemic, this article provides a contemporary overview and conceptual analysis of emerging documentary regimes of COVID-19 immunity verification involving immunity or vaccine passports. Findings Three major interconnected objectives could be fulfilled by immunity passports. First, they would establish and materialize an official identity of COVID-19 immune for people possessing the formal document. Second, they would serve as material evidence establishing and verifying individuals' immunity, vaccination or risk-free status from the coronavirus that would, in term, determine and regulate their movements and other privileges. Third, they would create tangible links between individuals and governments' official or recognized identity category of COVID-19 immune. Immunity passports would, therefore, help enable and enforce governmental authority and power by situating individuals within documentary regimes of COVID-19 immunity verification. Research limitations/implications In the expanding interdisciplinary literature on COVID-19 immunity passports, sometimes also called certificates, licenses, or passes, there appears to be only minimal reference to their documentary instantiations, whether physical, digital, and/or hybrid documents. As yet, there is not any specific documentary approach to or analysis of immunity passports as kinds of documentation. A documentary approach helps to illuminate and emphasize the materiality of and ontological considerations concerning the coronavirus pandemic and its associated kinds of immunity or vaccination. Social implications By beginning an exploration of what makes immunity passports thinkable as a public health response to the coronavirus pandemic, this article illuminates these health and identity documents' material implications for, and effects on, individuals and societies. This article, therefore, helps shed light on what immunity passports reveal about the complicated and contested intersections of identity, documentation, public health and socio-political control and discipline. Originality/value This article contributes the start of a documentary analysis of (proposed and existing) COVID-19 immunity passports in order to more fully center their documentary status within research and conversations about them.
