Well when you get a vaccine, will you have to show a card that says you got one, and that the people who do not get one, will have to live under more restrictions? Will it work like that likely?
Let's see what might be out there right now for the country where I live.

Employers can require proof that employees have received a COVID-19 vaccine — with some exceptions, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) said in Dec. 16 guidance.

Many governments are looking for paths out of restrictive physical distancing measures imposed to control the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). With a potential vaccine against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) many months away,1 one proposal that some governments have suggested, including Chile, Germany, Italy, the UK, and the USA,2 is the use of immunity passports—ie, digital or physical documents that certify an individual has been infected and is purportedly immune to SARS-CoV-2. Individuals in possession of an immunity passport could be exempt from physical restrictions and could return to work, school, and daily life. However, immunity passports pose considerable scientific, practical, equitable, and legal challenges.

Los Angeles County partnered with health startup Healthvana to roll out a new digital offering that allows residents to store records of their COVID-19 vaccination in Apple Wallet or on a similar Google platform, according to a Dec. 28 Press Herald report.
The offering aims to ensure people receive both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine by sending out follow-up notifications before a second appointment. The digital record will also give recipients a way to verify they have been vaccinated.
Los Angeles County is home to about 10 million residents; as of Dec. 22, the county had administered at least 38,850 doses of the Pfizer vaccine to healthcare providers, long-term care facility residents and paramedics. While immunizations are tracked in registries, public health officials saw the need to give patients ownership of their own records as the paper card tracking their vaccine details could be easily lost, said Claire Jarashow, vaccine preventable disease control director at L.A.'s public health department, according to the report.

The airline is currently working with other carriers and the industry as to what form this ‘COVID vaccination passport’ would take, such as a digital travel pass app.
“The Government is working through how vaccines will be registered technically and how a digital passport and digital requirements will be managed, but we have a humber of months before detail needs tot be finalised.”

Australia’s National Vaccination Policy has also suggested that visitors to Australia may be required to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination, although Joyce said that “it will become a binary choice for international travellers to either get the vaccine or quarantine for two weeks. And quarantine places are very limited.”

"Indeed, many airlines are currently testing technology to streamline the health documentation process, including mobile health apps like CommonPass, ICC AOKpass and VeriFLY to ensure travelers can present their health data in a secure, verifiable way.
It’s not known yet whether some kind of universal health form or certificate will be required to travel because that would require participation from various countries and organizations, but that’s happened before. The International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis, known to many as the carte jaune or yellow card, was originally created in the mid 1930s by the World Health Organization. Versions were used as proof for vaccination against diseases including yellow fever, typhus and smallpox, and many countries still require proof of certain vaccinations when traveling. For those travelers who have relocated to foreign countries over the years, the possibility of sharing personal health information isn’t unusual, as many visa and residency applications call for medical exams.

A common request from people across the industry is for governments to work together to standardize testing and vaccination requirements. For example, travelers who are vaccinated in the United States should know that their vaccination and documentation is valid in Thailand and vice versa.
