Abstract: As Europe seeks to recover from the effects of COVID-19, European leaders have implemented digital health passes and vaccine passports. These measures have met comparatively little resistance compared to responses in the US, but critics warn of ethical and legal concerns, including data privacy. What does free movement mean in the time of COVID-19? How might we understand differences in public health policy between vaccine mandates and vaccine passports across Europe, and how do those policies compare to policies in the US?
