Because COVID-19 vaccines are no longer being distributed by the federal government, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has stopped printing those little white vaccine cards that were once so ubiquitous during the COVID pandemic.
The cards' discontinuation isn't expected to be a big change, as experts say it’s unlikely we’ll return to the era when COVID vaccine cards functioned like IDs to enter restaurants, see a show or board an international flight.
So can we now finally clean out our wallets and say sayonara to those little white cards? Here's what experts told Yahoo Life earlier this summer.
Do COVID vaccine cards matter?
Dr. David Buchholz, senior founding medical director of Columbia Primary Care and assistant professor of pediatrics at Columbia University, tells Yahoo Life he doesn’t think COVID vaccine cards matter anymore.
“There's probably a couple of reasons why they don't matter anymore,” he says. “First of all, no one's ever asking [for COVID vaccine cards] anymore for entry into any sort of public area. The second piece is: COVID-19 is no longer a novel virus, and so starting this fall, I think there's going to be this expectation that everyone gets a booster once a year, just like we do for flu shots. For those of us who have gotten like six shots, it’s probably no longer necessary for presentation to anyone other than maybe your doctor.”

I hate the entire medical community and will never trust any of them again.
“Save the card if you were forced to take the VAX.
It may be evidence in lawsuits you may need to take against those who forced it on you (the government, your employer, etc).”
Good suggestion.
