Disparities in equitable distribution, vaccine efficacy, duration of immunity, multi-dose adherence, and privacy-focused user experience are among the most critical difficulties that must be addressed. The biggest hurdles in designing digital solutions which engage citizens in this pandemic are human and societal as well as technological. Trust at all levels and among all participants is mandatory for success. Can participatory real time epidemiology and user-centric crowd-sourced solutions help? The deployment of exposure notification/health passport apps is a promising start.
