Do You Want A Vaccine Passport In MA? Take Our Survey

As more people become vaccinated and life inches back to normalcy, the question of so-called vaccine passports has become something of a cultural touchpoint.

A vaccine passport is essentially proof — whether physical or digital — that someone has been vaccinated against the coronavirus. This passport would allow people to attend large social events or smaller gatherings in public settings, easing everyone else's mind that no one in attendance could be an unvaccinated carrier of COVID-19.

You can learn more about the vaccine passport debate in Massachusetts here. What's important to know is that Gov. Charlie Baker made it clear his focus is currently on vaccinating people, calling the passport a "barrier" toward that goal. But other lawmakers are in favor of considering it.

The public is not waiting for a final decision either way. Major sporting events are already underway — though at reduced capacity — while people have been eating in restaurants for months. Concerts are about a month away in some venues.

The survey will close Friday night, and then we'll post results. The survey is not meant to be a scientific poll, with random sampling and margins of error, but is meant only to gauge the sentiments of our readers in an informal way.
