Looking at the practical side, one's actions may be limited in the future without having a vaccination card - travel to certain countries may be curtailed, ability to participate in certain group activities. In the future, it may be required for children to attend school, similiar to other vaccines like polio.
yes: Once COVID vaccines are available, states could elect to require that people who live within that state be vaccinated.
