Australia is set to trial a new vaccine passport this week.

The Federal Government says the trial is the latest step in opening Australia up to the rest of the world. 

Some of the countries flagged in the announcement were the US, UK, Japan as well as the Pacific Islands. 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison says once eighty percent of the population have received both doses of the vaccine, people will again be allowed to travel overseas, a target Australia is on track to reach by November.
