No Vaccine Passports Act

1/31/2025, 12:53 PM

Summary of Bill HR 121

Bill 119 HR 121, also known as the "Vaccine Passport Prohibition Act," aims to prevent government agencies from issuing vaccine passports. These passports would serve as proof of vaccination against COVID-19 and could potentially be required for travel, attending events, or accessing certain services.

The bill states that no federal agency, including the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Homeland Security, or any other government entity, can mandate the use of vaccine passports. It also prohibits the use of federal funds to develop, implement, or promote vaccine passport programs.

Supporters of the bill argue that vaccine passports infringe on individual privacy rights and could lead to discrimination against those who choose not to get vaccinated. They believe that vaccination status should remain a personal decision and should not be required for everyday activities. Opponents of the bill argue that vaccine passports are necessary to ensure public safety and prevent the spread of COVID-19. They believe that requiring proof of vaccination can help businesses and organizations safely reopen and prevent future outbreaks. Overall, the Vaccine Passport Prohibition Act is a contentious piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate over individual rights versus public health measures during the COVID-19 pandemic.
