"While I believe in the efficacy of the vaccine enough to get it myself, and encourage Iowans to do the same, I also respect that it is a personal choice. But I strongly oppose vaccine passports and I believe that we must take a stand as a state against them, which I intend to do either through legislation or executive action." -Gov. Kim Reynolds

Reynolds takes firm stand against vaccine passports
Gov. Kim Reynolds encouraged Iowans to take the first COVID-19 vaccine available to them during a news conference Wednesday but said she is firmly against vaccine passports.
"The #Iowa version specifically targets #COVID19 related #vaccine passports while the #Alabama version seems to be not limited to COVID-19, only stating “immunizations” and “vaccines.”"

Gov. Kim Reynolds says she 'will take immediate legal action' on Biden's vaccine mandate
The rules fill in the details for the vaccination requirement President Joe Biden announced in September for businesses with 100 or more employees.
Under a proposed bill, Iowa businesses would not be able to ask about or maintain records of a person's medical treatment status — including vaccinations.
The bill would additionally prohibit businesses from hiring or firing someone based on their vaccination status. It would also ban denying goods and services, providing incentives or "segregation or discrimination" based on that status.

Gov. Kim Reynolds announced her plan to end the state’s disaster declaration and shut down its case count and vaccination websites later this month.
“We cannot continue to suspend duly enacted laws and treat COVID-19 as a public health emergency indefinitely,” Reynolds said in a statement. “After two years, it’s no longer feasible or necessary. The flu and other infectious illnesses are part of our everyday lives, and coronavirus can be managed similarly.”
