Governor Lamont Considers COVID-19 Vaccine Passports for Connecticut

Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont has been discussing the idea of digital COVID-19 passports for proof of vaccination.

Currently, there are entertainment venues, gyms, and restaurants that have begun asking for proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test. New York City has already incorporated this process by offering a digital app to show proof of vaccination called The Excelsior Pass. Lamont spokesman Max Reiss said it best.

In Connecticut, state employees, long-term care employees, and all K-12 teachers must be vaccinated and most hospital employees. Governor Lamont brought the idea up that it was a possibility for Connecticut in a press conference this past Monday.

While there is no conformation, it is a possibility through the Lamont administration. Additionally, the vaccine passport would not be a requirement, it would just be another way to present proof of your vaccine to businesses that require it.

So, are you for or against this vaccine passport idea?
