'We must consider our shared history as we work to ensure an equitable public health and economic recovery,' the mayor wrote on Twitter.
Acting Boston Mayor Kim Janey said the city has no plans to require residents to show proof of vaccination as COVID-19 cases continue to spike.
"We've heard Trump with the birth certificate nonsense. Here, we want to make sure that we are not doing anything that would further create a barrier for residents of Boston or disproportionately impact BIPOC communities," Janey added., writing that her administration has"no current plans for business sector vaccination mandates" but is working with the hospitality sector to provide access to the vaccine.
Janey's hesitancy to require vaccine passports comes after New York City announced it would mandate workers and patrons at indoor businesses to show proof of vaccination starting on September 13. Massachusetts health officials reported a spike of 2,054 new coronavirus cases over the weekend. On Monday, more than 880 new infections were reported with 226 patients in the hospital.
