whatever they want to call it, a company behind digitizing these records is joining us right now, and ramine taking records of people who have had their vaccinations and they are digitized but you'll explain this better than i. >> sure, thanks for having me. so healthvana is a patient communication platform that's used by healthcare providers so county, states, municipalities across the united states and to- date we've actually delivered over 10 million covid-19 test results across the united states and we've now delivered over 2 million digital vaccination records and like you mentioned earlier we don't do this as a passport, we've been consistent on that, we use this for medical information. you can certainly get your own information to your health records. this is the exact same thing. it's protected by hepa, so you should have the right to number one, get access to that and number two, be able to correct any inaccuracies and use it if you want, if it is required in certain areas for the kinds of things you mentioned like going back-to-school or on a cruise ship. neil: so how does it work
