Mandatory: Israel (Pfizer head was denied entry previously because he wasn't vaccinated)
Vaccine Passports:
Travel without vaccine passport may still be allowed, but with more restrictions (quarantine). Union nations may have individual rules, although still use the passports.
Seems like Japan is issuing vaccine passports for their people wanting to travel abroad but in terms of people coming in to Japan they aren't changing anything.
Eastern Europe sure loves their authoritarianism.
Since you seem knowledgeable about this - how are they verifying this? Do they just make you sign something you could lie on?
Each country/union handles it differently, but it would be hard to fake. In general:
For the PCR test, you have to submit the date/time of the test, the result, and who provided the test 72 hours before departure. They could contact the test provider to confirm. People have been denied entry into Canada because they considered their test provider illegitimate.
For injection certification, staff at injection locations (or testing locations) submit information to the government, and the government stores it in a database. The government then provides a document to the injected person , which contains a QR code. If the QR code is scanned, it will connect to wherever that data is stored to provide verification. Within the EU, the home country will just confirm whether it's a pass or fail, in other countries, it may show all the stored data (name, birth date, injection type, date of injection, and anything else).
So we have to get a medical profession that will collaborate to sign off on that without actually giving us the vaccine.
Thank you. So Italy hasn’t?
Do you think this will be a permanent thing and persons without vaccine won’t be able to ever travel again to those countries?
Europe doesn't require a vaccine. The general idea seems to be you have to be vaccinated OR pass a test OR have proof that you recovered from an infection.
Some countries may require quarantines. Those vary in length. Some are only required if you're from high risk areas and others can be skipped if you provide any of the above proofs.

My friend just went to Europe and he had to get the vaccine before he went.
