Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order on Monday prohibiting Texas’s state and local governments from requiring residents to get a coronavirus vaccine or to carry “vaccine passports.”
The executive action bars Texas state government entities from forcing individuals to get the coronavirus vaccine, and government agencies cannot order an individual to provide “as a condition of receiving any service or entering any place documentation regarding the individual’s vaccination status,” the order stated.
