Is this providing proof of a vaccination or just proof of a record in an EHR about health-cards HOT 4 CLOSED

It gets even more challenging when you consider that the site providing an initial vaccination may not have actually checked a person's ID (e.g., often a person is just asked to supply their own name and birth date).

The aim here is to model what we know, including uncertainty -- so for the vaccination use case, https://github.com/dvci/vaccine-credential-ig is capturing requirements and data modeling decisions, but to summarize here:

• a Health Card can include information about the level of identity assurance achieved. This is an explicit "IAL" value, to help verifiers decide how to use the information in the Health Card. http://build.fhir.org/ig/dvci/vaccine-credential-ig/branches/main/index.html#identity-assurance has details.

• a Health Card can include information indicating whether the Immunization record was captured by a "primary source" (http://build.fhir.org/ig/dvci/vaccine-credential-ig/branches/main/StructureDefinition-vaccine-credential-immunization-definitions.html#Immunization.primarySource), which gets at your question more directly

Overall, I'd note that Health Cards are designed for use in mixed environments where trust levels (and requirements!) may vary by use case. We focus on exposing what's known, and conveying associated levels of uncertainty.

Where are we tracking the use of photos in association with a credential? Is this a premature close?

I don't think photos came up in this thread, so it can't be prematurely closed for that reason :-)

The thread asked a question about what a Health Card provides "proof" of, and I tried to answer --- happy to re-open if this answer is not helpful, but may migrate to a "GH Discussion" if the aim is to explore other topics.
