To get around privacy concerns, what we need is an ID which has no personal information on it but uses biometric data to recognize the bearer, and certifies that the bearer has been vaccinated. If smart phones can use biometrics, so could a card. It might be expensive, but it could help get the economy going again and so be worth it, and mass production would bring the cost down. It could also be used for other applications where personal information is not essential.
Like Thom, I have had shot cards (proof of vaccination) with my passport for years. I use to live in the 3rd world and you needed it. I see nothing wrong with it. After getting both of my Pfizer Covid Vaccinations I took pictures of the card to store and placed the card in my passport. Now that I am vaccinated I hope to travel soon. If anything, I would like to see the card look more formal. They love lots of rubber stamps in 3rd world countries.

It's about saving lives.vaccine is better than getting Covid
