While state lawmakers consider a bill meant to ban digital vaccine passports from government entities, a rally was planned at the Michigan Capitol to support the potential legislation. Meanwhile, Jared Coseglia of Tru Staffing Partners, a consulting firm that specializes in data privacy, shares concerns surrounding proof of vaccination. He spoke with Michigan News Network this week.

“we in the United States do not have federal legislation around data privacy,” Coseglia said. “As we begin to roll out things like a vaccine passport as we begin to consider things like contact tracing when COVID first hit, the problem is what data is being collected, and how is that data being associated with my personal identifiable information?”

Currently, vaccine passports are banned in several states. They include Texas, Florida, Arizona, and Indiana.
