The controversy over vaccine passports has resurfaced in Orange County, California, as a new potential contract with the firm that was paid $4 million to develop a digital vaccination tracking program recently appeared on multiple Board of Supervisors public meeting agendas—but was then removed.

According to county documents, County Health Officer Dr. Clayton Chau submitted on Nov. 21 a written request to the board’s clerk to move an item under the subject “Contract for Disease Control and Preventative Health Technology Enabled Solution” from the Nov. 29 meeting agenda to the Dec. 6 meeting agenda. Then, he asked that the item be deleted from that agenda the next day.
