CHARLOTTE, N.C. — As more people get vaccinated for COVID-19, some organizations are considering requiring a vaccine passport to make sure everyone who goes into a store, attends a game or gets on a plane is vaccinated.
It’s a decision many find controversial as they are worried about personal information. Several states have already banned their governments from enforcing vaccine passports.
