And the controversial issue of vaccine passports is our first subject this Friday. What are they? Vaccine passports are a form of proof that someone has received a coronavirus vaccine. They could be digital on a phone or issued through a paper certificate. If they become a requirement, people may need to show vaccine passports to get into concerts, ballgames, businesses and other countries.
The European Union is working on a certificate that would show people have been vaccinated or fully recovered from COVID-19 or recently tested negative for the virus in order for them to travel across the 27 EU member countries. In the United States, the Biden Administration says it does not support vaccine passports and that the Federal government will not require every American to carry one, but different states have different approaches. New York, for instance, recently became the first state to launch vaccine passports. Florida, on the other hand, recently became the first state to ban them. And while supporters say they're necessary for American's safety, opponents say they infringe on American's freedom.
