What Is a COVID-19 ‘Vaccine Passport’ and How Will These Be Used?

For the past few weeks, I've heard the term 'vaccine passport' but I'm still trying to understand exactly what it is, what it will look like, and what it's going to mean for those who choose to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. While I am not alone in trying to understand what this whole process will look like there were some details in a recent article from The Denver Channel that gave some good information regarding vaccine passports.

Just earlier this week the White House said there will be no federal mandate to have vaccination credentials or certifications in a centralized database. But it sounds like private companies are moving forward with the idea anyway, which would lead me to believe these companies are trying to make money off of people wanting to show proof of their vaccination. But that is just my own guess.
