the airport or sit down to dinner wherever you want. the question now is will you need a so-called vaccine passport to get there? proof that you had the shot. some experts say it does not have to. >> if it comes out with a high acceptance rate like 60 to 70% of people, we are done. >> reporter: what if vaccinations slow. infectious disease expert george rutherford of ucsf says the problems would begin if many months go by and some groups have trouble get shots or a significant number choose not to, leaving us short of the majority needed to reach an overall herd immunity. at that point some worry about vaccine haves and have-notes. >> you are the one that will go to see the giants play and the a's game and go to a restaurant. you are the one that gets to go to the movie theater and that united airlines wants on the
