ORANGE COUNTY, CA —With so many Orange County residents getting vaccinated, the Orange County Board of Supervisors and Health Care Agency are poised to provide digital proof-of-vaccination codes. But more than 100 residents took their two minutes at the podium Tuesday to decry the idea of putting health records on public display.
Orange County officials reassured the public they would not issue any mandates regarding access to public or private places depending on a resident's vaccine status and added that they're working on a program to provide digital proof of inoculation if a vaccine recipient wishes to have it. That program is a part of the Othena app, the end-to-end vaccination appointment scheduler that the county purchased to manage vaccinating 3.2 million residents.
