Vaccine Passports: Should MD Require Proof Of Immunization?

ANNAPOLIS, MD — Leaders around the country are debating coronavirus vaccine passports. As the immunization becomes more accessible, some residents question if states or businesses should require proof of inoculation to enter large events. Gov. Larry Hogan has not yet addressed the proposal, but it is starting to become a hot topic.

Supporters think vaccine passports could make gatherings safer. Opponents argue that mandating a shot infringes on a person's freedom to choose.

What do you think? Let us know in the survey embedded below.

We will leave the questionnaire open until Monday at 5 p.m. Keep an eye out for a results story later next week.

This is not a scientific poll that represents the entire population. It is just an informal way to gauge local sentiment.
