Immunity passports knowledge map (version one)
This synthesis map presented the initial understanding of immunity based on the literature review. This was used during the first focus group to help participants situate immunity certificates in the wider context of COVID-19 immunity.
The map included the concept of immunity, the social determinants that can influence immunity, the different threats to immunity, the strategies in place to retain immunity, and the impacts on the healthcare system.

Mapping COVID-19 Health Certificates as a Complex System (version 1.1)
This map presents the COVID-19 health certificate as a complex system. This map synthesises some findings from the first focus group of the IMMUNE research project. The sociotechnical framework by David et. al (2014) was used to visualise the different elements and their relationships grouped in six main areas. All these elements should be considered throughout the design of COVID-19 certificates.

How might we design COVID-19 certificates to mitigate unintended consequences and maximise benefits for the future of sporting events?
This video was presented to participants in a participatory design workshop investigating how immunity certificates should be designed to facilitate access to large outdoor events, using a sports event as an example. The purpose of creating this video was to facilitate a shared understanding about the phenomenon under investigation to the people who participated in the workshop, as well as to communicate the key concerns and dilemmas and stimulate a discussion and brainstorming of ideas.

COVID-19 immunity certificates as complex systems: applying systems approaches to explore needs, risks, and unintended consequences
Specifically, the methods used in the participatory sessions are presented. The limitations and implications of some research outputs are discussed. This paper is part of the 10th “Relating Systems Thinking and Design” Symposium. This paper presents the application of systems/service approaches as part of the IMMUNE project, a research project funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).

Why “one size fits all” is not enough when designing COVID-19 immunity certificates for domestic use: a UK wide cross-sectional online survey
Objectives The present study explored public’s willingness to use COVID-19 immunity certificates across six different domestic scenarios. Design Cross-sectional online survey. Setting UK representative survey conducted on the 3rd of August 2021. Participants 534 UK residents over 18 years old. Interventions Participants replied to the same set of questions. Primary and secondary outcome measures The primary outcome measure was willingness to use immunity certificates across three different domestic settings (1. Visiting the GP for a non-urgent health issue, 2. Dining in a restaurant, and 3. Attending a performance in a theatre). For each setting two options, one prioritising convenience (option A) and the other privacy (option B), were offered. Our secondary outcome measures were computed indices from items adapted from the Health Belief Model; Attitudes towards sharing immunity status with service providers; Prior to COVID-19 lifestyle. In addition, we recorded data about respondents’ socio-demographic characteristics. Results Respondents were more willing to use immunity certificates that prioritised convenience, rather than privacy, when visiting their GP (92%). However, privacy was more favorable (84%) in the other two settings (dining in a restaurant and going to a theatre) compared to convenience (39%). Personal beliefs about COVID-19 and immunity certificates were associated with variations in willingness to use these across all scenarios. No variations were observed across socio-demographics and lifestyle. Conclusions The findings of this survey suggest that there is not one size fits all solution for designing immunity certificates. Immunity certificates are complex socio-technical systems, any attempt to implement these for domestic use should be tailored to different settings and user needs. The design of certification services requires a more evidence-based approach and further research is needed to understand how different settings, design elements (like convenience or privacy) and personal beliefs about the pandemic should inform their design.

Designing COVID-19 Immunity Certificates – Interviews with Service Providers
This report explores the implementation of COVID-19 immunity passports (also referred to as health certificates) from the service provider side. To address this we interviewed representatives of businesses representing different industries. The findings of these interviews are synthesised with the results from the focus groups (presented in a separate report) and design workshops (also documented in a separate report) in order to inform the development of service blueprints for the implementation of services around immunity passports.
