Due to the COVID-19 pandemic some governments announced their plans to introduce a system of “vaccine passports” so people can move across borders only after they have proved they have been vaccinated against COVID-19. Regardless of the possible operational, ethical, and diplomatic consequences of these new passports, this concept is not new.
When had there been vaccine passports before? When the first vaccine was developed in 1796, people had to show proof of vaccination to occupy certain places. This vaccine was created to protect people from smallpox.
Travelers had to prove that they had been vaccinated to enter towns or visit places like the Mecca.
This lasted until the 19th century. Had this practice extended throughout the globe? For the most part, this practice was required in almost all countries during the smallpox outbreak, and it extended until the beginning of the 20th century.
What had this passport looked like? It was a piece of paper that included the date, the name of the person who was vaccinated, when that person was vaccinated, and the doctor’s signature.
Could people travel without this passport during the smallpox outbreak?
Yes, people could travel without the documentation, but there were doctors and other officials that would enter trains or other means of transport to check for vaccination certificates. When they couldn’t provide one, then the doctors would look for a scar on the arm to prove that they had had the vaccine or people had to have a “pitted” face to show that they had survived smallpox.
What other activities had required a vaccine? It depended on the place. During the worst outbreaks in US cities, vaccination was compulsory, and you needed it to go to school, work, ride trains, and even go to the theater.
As with all vaccines, there had been people who couldn’t be vaccinated and others that were against it because they were misinformed. These “anti-vaxxers” had gotten together in groups, and they even forged vaccination certificates.
Eventually, officials had to stop looking at the certificate (since it could be fake) and started asking people to show their scar as proof of vaccination. This situation makes some people wonder what will happen if a scar cannot be a proof of vaccination.
