VCI is a consortium of healthcare enterprises lead by MITRE and supported by Microsoft to enable Verifiable Credentials in Healthcare.

Vaccination Credential Initiative has hitched up to the COVID19 bandwagon to show a real life use case in Healthcare.

Holder stores credentials and presents them at will
Verifier receives credentials from holder and ensures they are properly signed (not clear if this is the credential or a Presentation Exchange).
