Arizona Governor Doug Ducey signed an Executive Order on Monday banning “vaccine passports” and preventing the state and local governments from requiring residents to provide coronavirus vaccination status to receive service or enter an area.

“The residents of our state should not be required by the government to share their private medical information,” Ducey said. “While we strongly recommend all Arizonans get the COVID-19 vaccine, it’s not mandated in our state — and it never will be. Vaccination is up to each individual, not the government.”
