We aren’t getting a national vaccine ‘passport.’ So let’s use the next best thing: CDC vaccination cards.
In an op-ed for The Washington Post, Drew Altman suggests a way out of the heated debate about a COVID-19 vaccination passport to help provide clarity about who is vaccinated and who still ought to wear masks in public spaces or the workplace by using something that already exists– CDC vaccination cards. He writes, “the idea of vaccine passports has been discarded prematurely here. Using the CDC vaccination cards is far better than doing nothing, which leaves unclear who can safely go unmasked. This is the most feasible option, and it can be put into widespread use without any government requirements.”
