"Passport" is probably a good name for this seriously premature idea.
There is still so much unknown about COVID-19, as evidenced by the increase of mutations (aka variants of concern), the expanding age range of those potentially at risk of contracting/spreading the virus, and above all how the various vaccines work over the long-term for the original COVID-19 and the new variants.
None of this is known yet.
With science-based discussion of the possibility of COVID becoming endemic, requiring regular re-tweaked vaccinations, kind of like flu vaccines, a "passport" would have to be "stamped" with each shot like travel passports.
And all of this highly personal information would have to be stored, maintained, and accessible by "authorities" internationally. Like this will never get hacked...
In my view, until a credible time proven track history is available to assert vaccine safety/efficacy (not through speculation but actual large scale case studies), any discussion of "passport" social gatekeeping related to vaccination status is not rational.
