But that’s the exact information I want to pass to someone?
I’m not sure how else to give someone the information that person X has had vaccine Y, other than actually transmitting that exact information?
Yes, it’s (slightly) sensitive information. But if one decides that we want to have a system based on this exact information, and it had to be “offline capable”, what are the options?

If the requirements are that verifiers must themselves be able to decide which vaccines are acceptable, number of doses or time since last dose, and which issuers are allowed, then yes.
