Because these records are in a verifiable format, if you choose to share these lab result and immunisation records with third-party apps – such as businesses or event venues – the third-party apps can confirm that the record was issued by the lab test or vaccine provider and that it has not been altered since it was issued.
Apple is not a part of the third party’s verification process and will not have access to this data when imported or shared.
