On August 27, the World Health Organization (WHO) published a guidance document for countries that implement COVID digital certificates, and in its second section they set out the ethical considerations that health authorities must take into account.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The second section of the Digital documentation of COVID-19 certificates: vaccination status: technical specifications and implementation guide, published on August 27 by the WHO, shows in detail what are the ethical and data protection considerations that must be met and followed. digital systems and solutions, such as digital COVID-19 vaccination certificates.<\/p>

Section 2 \u201cEthical considerations and data protection principles\u201d, of the document explains that the \u201cDigital documentation of COVID-19 certificates: Vaccination status\u201d or DDCC:VS<\/strong>, as the WHO calls it; it must promote equitable access to them, as well as successfully apply the principles of user data protection.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The ethical considerations of the WHO when designing and developing a DDCC:SV in response to COVID-19 are divided into two main scenarios: first, as a record that your application works for the continuity of user care and does not give it only a single use; or second, used to document that the carrier has received the vaccine.<\/p>

Potential uses of DDCC:VS should include public health surveillance, research, and pharmacovigilance.<\/p>

As for the objectives that the implementation of this technology must meet according to the WHO, they are the following:<\/p>

  1. Protect and promote the well-being of individuals, communities and the population as a whole,<\/li>
  2. Ensure equal treatment for all people and prevent or mitigate, to the extent possible, health and unfair inequalities (i.e. health inequalities) within the boundaries of the State; Y<\/li>
  3. Create and maintain trust in public health activities as part of the health care system).<\/li><\/ol>

    Additionally, the WHO explains that during the process of applying this technology, as well as in its development, the following concepts must be met: Transparency, inclusiveness in decision-making, accountability and responsiveness.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    La Organizaci\u00f3n Mundial de la Salud (OMS), public\u00f3 el 27 de agosto un documento de orientaci\u00f3n para pa\u00edses que implementen certificados digitales COVID, y en su segundo apartado expusieron las consideraciones \u00e9ticas que las autoridades sanitarias deben tener en cuenta. El segundo apartado del Documentaci\u00f3n digital de los certificados COVID-19: estado de vacunaci\u00f3n: especificaciones t\u00e9cnicas y gu\u00eda de implementaci\u00f3n, publicado el 27 de agosto por la OMS, muestra detalladamente cu\u00e1les son las consideraciones \u00e9ticas y de protecci\u00f3n de datos que deben cumplir y seguir los sistemas y soluciones digitales, como los certificados digitales de vacunaci\u00f3n COVID-19. La secci\u00f3n 2 “Consideraciones \u00e9ticas y principios de protecci\u00f3n de datos”, del documento explica que la \u201cDocumentaci\u00f3n digital de los certificados COVID-19: Estado de vacunaci\u00f3n\u201d o DDCC:VS, como lo denomina la OMS; debe promover el acceso equitativo a las mismas, as\u00ed como aplicar con \u00e9xito los principios de protecci\u00f3n de datos del usuario. Las consideraciones \u00e9ticas de la OMS al momento del dise\u00f1o y desarrollo de una DDCC:VS en respuesta al COVID-19 se dividen en dos escenarios principales: primero, como registro de que su aplicaci\u00f3n funcione para la continuidad de la atenci\u00f3n del usuario y no se le d\u00e9 solamente un solo uso; o segundo, que se utilice para documentar que el portador ha recibido la vacuna. Los usos potenciales de la DDCC:VS deben incluir la vigilancia de la salud p\u00fablica, la investigaci\u00f3n y la farmacovigilancia. En cuanto a los objetivos que debe cumplir la implementaci\u00f3n de esta tecnolog\u00eda seg\u00fan la OMS, son los siguientes: Proteger y promover el bienestar de los individuos, las comunidades y la poblaci\u00f3n en su conjunto, Garantizar la igualdad de trato para todas las personas y prevenir o mitigar, en la medida de lo posible, las desigualdades sanitarias e injustas (es decir, las desigualdades en materia de salud) dentro de los l\u00edmites del Estado; y Crear y mantener la confianza en las actividades de salud p\u00fablica como parte del sistema de atenci\u00f3n sanitaria). Adicionalmente, la OMS explica que durante el proceso de aplicaci\u00f3n de esta tecnolog\u00eda, as\u00ed como en su desarrollo, deben cumplirse los siguientes conceptos: Transparencia, inclusividad en la toma de decisiones, rendici\u00f3n de cuentas y capacidad de respuesta.
