Hi all,
Here at Emory University, we are being asked to explore third-party apps like Bindle for verification of Vaccination or Negative Covid tests. Can you all share what you are doing in this area?
Are you using a third-party app? If so, which one? Do you like it?
Or, do you have someone on sight checking vaccination cards or negative test results? If so, where do they do it, and are they one of your staff members?
Or, do you have more of an honor code, where patrons attest to the fact that they are either vaccinated or will obtain a negative COVID test within (some number of hours) before the event?
Or, something else?
Thank you for your feedback!!

Hello!
At UMS at the University of Michigan, we did look at Bindle and a couple of other apps. U Mich does already have an app that is in use for students, staff, and faculty so we will be accepting that at the door. Instead of trying to get other audience members to download an app we are going the more accessible route of asking non-university folks to just bring their vaccination card or have a photo of it on their phone with their ID (or they can bring a negative test result). We will be using a 3rd party security team to verify at the door before folks can enter the lobby but will pair them with UMS staff or volunteers so that there is someone greeting on behalf of the org and can answer questions that we wouldn't expect the security team to know. We are requiring vaccination or negative test result for entry for all indoor performances.
Good luck to you and your team!
