TENNESSEE GOVERNOR OPPOSES COVID-19 VACCINE PASSPORTS
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee said today he is opposed to COVID-19 vaccine passports. The statement comes a day after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued an executive order banning businesses from requiring customers to show proof they have been vaccinated against the virus.
Governor Lee added he is taking legal steps to make sure Tennesseans are not subjected to mandates. “I am supporting legislation to prohibit any government-mandated vaccine passports to protect the privacy of Tennesseans’ health information and ensure this vaccine remains a voluntary, personal decision,” said Lee.
