Georgia’s ban against vaccine passports is very specific. The executive order maintains that any state government sector, including Georgia schools, may not mandate Georgians to receive the COVID-19 vaccine or submit proof of vaccination.
In remarks to Breitbart News, Kemp stated that “any state service” cannot mandate vaccines or use vaccine passports. The Georgia governor explained that his state isn’t going to “go there,” but shall instead leave it up to individuals.
The private business sector
Kemp’s executive order banning vaccine passports does not extend to private businesses; the Georgia Republican governor stated in additional remarks to Breitbart News that he doesn’t aim to weaponize the government to control private businesses’ affairs.
However, Kemp did note that if private businesses become too strict with vaccine mandates, customers are highly likely to take their business elsewhere.
Georgia is one of many states that has banned the government from using vaccine passports; however, this comes without extending the ban to private businesses.
