Logically, being able to prove that one has been vaccinated (both shots) should negate the entry requirement of some countries that one must have (prove) or purchase insurance that covers COVID-19 health care costs in their country. Apparently what we do know about the vaccine is that ti would be extremely unlikely that someone who has been been vaccinated (both shots) would get a case with symptoms severe enough to require medical care.

BTW, the answer to my question above seems to be (according to another thread in this forum) that one will test positive on antibody tests after vaccination (although there might be specific types of antibody tests that could distinguish between those who had the vaccine versus those who had the disease, even if asymptomatic of course), but will not test positive on *currently used* PCR or antigen tests after either of the two vaccines that have approved for emergency use in the USA.
