In fact, we had plenty of issues with Americans bringing their "vaccination cards", which looked so amateurish, and couldn't be verified at all, when we opened our borders to you much earlier.
What makes you think that a “lowly” American border control agent is able to scan a “hip” European QR code? <sarcasm>
Are the US CBP connected to the Eurpean DB where they can get vaccinations status verified? The airlines at their European departure points can verify it I’m sure, but not sure if they can verify it on this side of Atlantic. Anyone know?
