Roy Cooper has said his administration is looking at creation of a so-called “COVID-19 vaccine passport” for North Carolina residents. Ron DeSantis issued an executive order banning such a passport while the legislature created a bill to permanently block them. “We just want to make sure that folks can access their own information about that vaccine for whatever purpose they may need. Citizens worried about being forced to get a vaccination or vaccine passport may get some relief in a bill filed in the N.C. House. Another would make it illegal to discriminate by requiring a vaccine passport or similar proof for use of public spaces and in the hiring and firing of employees.
