Domestic vaccine passports an absolute slam-dunk. 'Short term' is the subjective part of the headline as real world performance of vaccines, vaccines against variants, etc. is still up in the air.
Print them in dark blue and place a coat of arms on the front and a free drink voucher inside and I'm sure you'll up that acceptance rate to 90%.

Meanwhile in the United States they are wondering how to give the Oxford vaccine the Roy Walker treatment - it's good, but it's not right.

Strong indications that emergency use authorisation would be rejected given their abundance of supply of higher efficacy/higher safety vaccines. The problem for the US is how to dump their supplies onto the rest of the world without it looking like they are dumping them.

There's a good reason I don't do full colour British expectionalism.
China sound like they would be up for any spare AZ vaccines:

China mulls mixing vaccines to improve efficacy of jabs

China is considering the mixing of different Covid-19 vaccines to improve the relatively low efficacy of its existing options, a top health expert has told a conference.

Authorities have to "consider ways to solve the issue that efficacy rates of existing vaccines are not high", Chinese media outlet The Paper reported, citing Gao Fu, the head of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

His comments mark the first time a top Chinese expert has publicly alluded to the relatively low efficacy of the country's vaccines, as China forges ahead in its mass vaccination campaign and exports its jabs around the world.
