芝加哥高级卫生官员表示，芝加哥计划在下个月推出一种“Vax通行证”，接种疫苗的居民可以用来参加夏季音乐会等活动。
芝加哥公共卫生专员艾莉森·阿瓦迪(Allison Arwady)博士强调，即将推出的通行证既不是疫苗护照，也不是企业在顾客进入前检查的应用程序。
她解释说，取而代之的是，它将更类似于城市通行证，为居民提供折扣、免费博物馆门票或让他们跳过线路前往城市景点。
虽然细节尚未最终确定，“瓦克斯通行证”是为了激励芝加哥人，尤其是年轻的芝加哥人，接种疫苗新冠肺炎(新型冠状病毒肺炎)。
“你将有机会参加只对接种疫苗的人开放的音乐活动，”阿瓦迪在周四的新闻发布会上说。"有些人可能会选择接种疫苗来达到这个目的."

这个概念旨在与“Vax和放松”齐头并进，这是一个城市项目，将与理发店和沙龙合作，鼓励人们接种疫苗。
今年春天早些时候，纽约成为第一个通过Excelsior Pass提供疫苗接种数字证明的州，Excelsior Pass是一款智能手机应用程序，允许完全接种疫苗的居民向企业显示二维码，以证明他们的疫苗接种状态。
一个州的州长其他国家的数目反对疫苗接种的数字证据，佛罗里达州和得克萨斯州的州长甚至发布行政命令反对他们。
Chicago to roll out 'Vax Pass' so vaccinated can attend summer concerts
Chicago plans to roll out a "Vax Pass" next month that vaccinated residents can use to attend events like summer concerts, according to top city health officials.
Dr. Allison Arwady, Chicago's public health commissioner, stressed that the forthcoming pass is not a vaccine passport, nor is it an app that businesses check before patrons can enter.
Instead, it will be more similar to city passes that give residents discounts, free admission to museums or let them skip lines to city attractions, she explained.
While the details have not yet been finalized, "Vax Pass" is meant to incentivize Chicagoans, especially young Chicagoans, to get vaccinated againstCOVID-19.
"You'll have opportunities to attend music events that are only open to people who are vaccinated,"Arwady said during a Thursday news briefing. "Some people might choose to get vaccinated to get access to that."
The concept is meant to go hand in hand with "Vax and Relax," a city program that will partner with barbershops and salons to encourage people to get vaccinated.
Earlier this spring, New York became the first state to offer digital proof of vaccinations with the Excelsior Pass, a smartphone app that allows fully vaccinated residents to show a QR code to businesses as proof of their vaccination status.
The governors of anumber of other stateshave come out against digital proof of vaccination, with Florida and Texas' governors going so far as to issue executive orders against them.
