The Biden administration again reiterated that the federal government won’t implement or support a so-called COVID-19 “vaccine passport” system, suggesting the matter will be left to businesses.

On Monday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that the federal government’s view has not changed on such a system after she said last month that the administration wouldn’t support the passports. Vaccine passports have been criticized by Republicans, civil liberties groups, and the World Health Organization for a variety of reasons.
