As of this morning, Denmark [have this](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.sum.ssicpas&pli=1).  
It can be used both locally and in travelling. It show a QR-code which can be scanned from another phone with the same app. It will show vaccinations, earlier infection and recent negative covid test.  
Oh, and it should be compatible with the EU app, expected, at the latest, July 1.
