Abstract
ABSTRACT During the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccine passports assumed a significant role in government plans to get ‘back to normal’ and return populations to work, school and everyday activities. Drawing on Australia’s history of infectious disease control, this article explores the genealogy of vaccine passports by considering earlier precedents in Australian public health law and regulation. The article analyses these issues through three themes: (1) borders and vaccination; (2) disease, borders and human rights; and (3) the maintenance of borders through self-regulation, which considers the ways in which individuals themselves assumed responsibility for their health during the COVID-19 pandemic, including through vaccination.
