Then again, elsewhere, in places requiring yellow fever vaccination, all I need to show is the handwritten "yellow card" for entry. I'm not aware of any official COVID-19 vaccination registry, which leads me to believe testing protocols will remain in place for some time. The vaccine presently seems to just be assurance you won't test positive and be stuck away from home.
The WHO yellow books require a doctor's signature and stamp
