White House won't push 'vaccine passports' despite confusion over mask guidance

The White House is standing behind its pledge not to institute a federal vaccine passport, despite rising discussion on the subject following the release of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance on unvaccinated people ditching their masks.

Last week, the center said that fully vaccinated people could stop wearing masks in public. Numerous experts have suggested businesses will need some type of standardized vaccine passport in order to interact with maskless customers safely.
