(AP) — The state of Hawaiʻi is launching a program that will allow people to use their smartphones to prove they have been vaccinated against COVID-19. It comes shortly before Honolulu and Maui begin instituting vaccine requirements for patrons of restaurants and other businesses. State officials say people who have been vaccinated in Hawaii will be able to upload a photo of their paper vaccination card to the Safe Travels Hawaii website to create a digital vaccination record. The website will crosscheck this information with data in the state’s vaccination database. Customers may show this record to restaurants in lieu of their paper vaccination card.
