Re: Requirements for PDF as container for VC's

Hi Leonard, et al,

I'd like to suggest that we consider the use case of a COVID vaccination 
PDF.

There's currently an HHS Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program 
with Walgreens/CVS that allow nursing homes to opt into the program to 
get "vulnerable people" vaccinated, but let's imagine the more general 
case for the expanded distribution of the vaccine to mobile clinics, etc:

 1. Subject calls CVS/Walgreens for an appointment to get vaccinated
 2. The pharmacy insures subject has a prescription that correlates with
    co-morbidity (like insulin for diabetes) to qualify for priority booking
 3. There's a significant issue with the cold chain that logistics needs
    to be very tight, in order to reduce wastage, so these appointments
    need to be managed effectively so there's a queue of people waiting
    when a vaccine pak is opened, this means texting people to make sure
    they're going to arrive on time
 4. Subjects goes to drive through vaccination tent (mobile clinic in
    the CVS parking lot) with invitation, shows ID
 5. Subject opts in to receive digital vaccination certificate which is
    sent in PDF form after the vaccination
 6. The PDF is dynamic in that it contains update-able info about the
    durability of the vaccine, indicating when a booster shot is required
 7. The PDF metadata includes a VC, that can be used by third parties
    such as OpenTable to allow an indoor reservation or Fandango to
    issue a movie ticket - with selective disclosure/minimization of
    only required data flowing through
 8. An "immunity passport" app could ingest the PDF's VC so that it
    would have the data required to work with little effort or technical
    expertise

Anyway, this is sort of the direction I'm thinking for a PDF use case 
for COVID vaccination.

So in addition to shipping documents and academic records, I believe 
this use case would be quite compelling right now, to many people and 
should be included in the ensuing discussions. I'm hoping that this 
group, and the COVIDCreds <https://www.covidcreds.com/> participants, 
can weigh in on this matter to vet the models and strategy.
