What You Need to Know About Your Vaccine Card
The New York Times ^ | April 1, 2021 | By Concepción de León

Posted on 04/02/2021 7:04:01 PM PDT by thecodont

As vaccinations become more widely available for people in the United States and travel starts picking up, many people have started sharing their simple white vaccination cards on social media as prized new possessions.

With some destinations, cruise lines and venues already requiring travelers to provide proof of vaccination against Covid-19, keeping that record is key. In New York, for example, proof of vaccination or a recent negative test will be required for entry into large venues or catered events when they are allowed to reopen at reduced capacity on April 2. Proof will be required at events with more than 100 people, so anyone having a wedding or Sweet 16 with more attendees will have to ask guests for evidence that they are complying with the rules.

There are already a number of vaccination “passport” initiatives underway that would make vaccination status easy to share digitally. Clear, a biometric screening program used in airports across the country, and the technology company IBM have created their own passes, for instance. And last week, New York became the first state to introduce a digital tool to allow people to easily show that they have either tested negative or been inoculated against the virus in order to gain entry into some events and venues.

But until such measures are taken more widely across the country, you’ll want to hang onto that little white card.

"clearing house"

I believe through HIPAA, this will be law enforcement (DOJ) and the military (DOD).

"...many people have started sharing their simple white vaccination cards on social media as prized new possessions."

And that kicked off a shrill, hysterical rant that I avoided reading. One would think that the media chicks could find something interesting and more sane to write about instead of going on and on with a worn out topic.

The cards are nothing but a piece of card stock run through a copier with handwriting on them.

I wonder how accurate the database is supporting the system. No ID checks were required.

Sign me up ——buy ya a beer dude!

No way I’m playing the ‘scarlet vaccine card’ game...

I have been tested for free 3 times using the three different methods over the last year....all negative...blood type O+.

I’ll be ok! Try and stop me from going somewhere I want to go without having the card...

"Is there any central clearing house keeping a record of who has had a coronavirus vaccine? If not and it is completely relying on people to maintain a little white card, I think there’s going to be a huge business in counterfeit cards."

It appears that there might be a database. The answers to the short questionnaire before getting vaccinated go to the "v-safe" CDC website. Then the person who administers the shot enters something afterwards on a computer of some kind (sometimes a small, WiFi enabled hand-held). Name and date of birth are included, but I don't know whether the info stays with your local health provider or pharmacy, or the CDC.

Granted, the conspiracy theory kooks will make crazy hay with this info, too, but it doesn't really matter. Each person is free to take the vaccination or not. Looks from the numbers so far, that enough people will be vaccinated to stop the epidemic.

My vaccine card has not been touched for 53 years since I got out of the military and I expect it to stay that.

And a good ID (driver license, other state ID, A-card, whatever) was absolutely necessary. They wouldn't vaccinate without first seeing an ID and entering a driver license number, Social Security number, A-card number, etc.

Most likely, there’s a federal law against forging documents with harsh penalties for violators (government documents, checks, etc). I know that there are state laws to that effect.
