There is talk of the paper version of proof of vaccination being too open to forgery, but it strikes me that people attempting to prove two jabs via their smartphones could possibly be using a borrowed phone in the belief that those looking at the image would not have the necessary time to be able to verify their identity.  I'm thinking of those mass events, such as concerts, football matches, etc., where phones appear to be glanced at only fleetingly in order not to hold up queues.   

I do worry about someone questioning the veracity of my paper version, perhaps abroad, where I could land up in big trouble.

I don't have a smartphone. I'm not smart.

Nor do I, but I like to think I'm smart enough not to give away information about myself unnecessarily.  My daughter now uses her watch  :o to pay bills and other stuff and her smartphone for everything else.  Somewhere someone is building up a picture of her, I fear.

I do have a smart-phone.
But I never use it to pay bills or for financial transactions ;)

My PC is secured with ant-virus (and other) software.
My phone isn't! Not enough room left, as it's clogged up with useless Google Apps
Google News, Films, Music, etc., etc.

My PC has never been troubled by ants. ;D
I've found out how to apply for a proof of covid vaccination in Scotland. Just as well I kept the appointment letters as they have my user-name.
