“The government is not now, nor will we be, supporting a system that requires Americans to carry a credential,” Psaki told reporters at the White House on Tuesday. “There will be no federal vaccinations database and no federal mandate requiring everyone to obtain a single vaccination credential.”
The administration wants to protect Americans’ privacy and doesn’t want vaccine passports “used against people unfairly,” Psaki said.
Some businesses are pushing for people to show proof of vaccination -- before getting on cruise ships or entering a stadium, for instance -- as a way to resume pre-pandemic operations without causing the virus to spread.
