This work proposes a scalable, blockchain-based platform for the secure\nsharing of COVID-19 or other disease vaccination certificates. As an indicative\nuse case, we simulate a large-scale deployment by considering the countries of\nthe European Union. The proposed platform is evaluated through extensive\nsimulations in terms of computing resource usage, network response time and\nbandwidth. Based on the results, the proposed scheme shows satisfactory\nperformance across all major evaluation criteria, suggesting that it can set\nthe pace for real implementations. Vis- `a-vis the related work, the proposed\nplatform is novel, especially through the prism of a large-scale, full-fledged\nimplementation and its assessment.\n
