The section of the final communique, which is republished and available on the White House website, which deals with vaccines and the Covid-19 pandemic begins, "We recognize that the extensive COVID-19 immunization is a global public good and we will advance our effort to ensure timely, equitable and universal access to safe, affordable, quality and effective vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics (VTDs)."
While describing the need for greater collaboration among nations during any future pandemic response, it continues in this section, "We remain committed to embedding a multisectoral One Health approach and enhancing global surveillance, including genomic surveillance, in order to detect pathogens and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) that may threaten human health."

And then the following is introduced in Article 23:
We acknowledge the importance of shared technical standards and verification methods, under the framework of the IHR (2005), to facilitate seamless international travel, interoperability, and recognizing digital solutions and non-digital solutions, including proof of vaccinations.
We support continued international dialogue and collaboration on the establishment of trusted global digital health networks as part of the efforts to strengthen prevention and response to future pandemics, that should capitalize and build on the success of the existing standards and digital COVID-19 certificates.
Interestingly, the next paragraph of the formal declaration, article 24, goes on to describe the need to for global institutions to fight against 'disinformation'.
G20 - BREAKING: leaders have just signed a declaration which states that vaccine passports will be adopted to “facilitate” all international travel
This means any vaccination the WHO determines you should have.

Article 24 of the final G20 declaration begins, "The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the transformation of the digital ecosystem and digital economy."
And then leads into to the following statement later in the section: "We acknowledge the importance to counter disinformation campaigns, cyber threats, online abuse, and ensuring security in connectivity infrastructure."
So as predicted by many early on in the pandemic (who were all dismissed and condemned as "conspiracy theorists"), a future proposed standardized vaccine passport will be accompanied by efforts for greater standardization and policing against 'disinformation' - likely to include any speech critical of the type of regimen that G20 leaders wish to enact.
As for the type of speech which will be allowed under such a program, it's helpful to recall the New Zealand prime minister's words...
