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.

Don’t really need the card.
They can just scan the RFID chip that was implanted.
You can feel the bump at the injection site.

Okay, who just felt for a bump?

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

At the end of the day it's going to be on the honor system. No one says you have to be vaccinated but if dishonest people want to fake their vaccination status they'll be able to.

We'll see if honor is still an American concept.

If honor was still an American value, the cards wouldn’t be necessary, because we would have treated this illness like every other one in American history and not devolved into hysterics. A true American will never show his “papers”...

Yep. The culture of control-shame is anything but American and the polar opposite of freedom.

I’m scheduled for my first shot on Monday. I wonder if they’ll give me a yellow card like they did for my cholera and yellow fever shots.

I personally know two people under 30 who have $200,000+ hospital bills that’s 200,000 reasons not to get the Rona. Both women were fitness models who worked at a hooters type established doing face to face sales and Both ended up at hospital in critical care. Having rubbish level medical insurance being 1099 employees as “model actresses” which is used as a legal loophole to get around a number of tax and title IV laws basically So they can be independent contractors. The short facts are they are on the hook for home mortgage level debts. Mind you these women had zero per conditions did I mention fitness models the Rona can and will put 15% of all ages in hospital who contract it and not everyone who goes is a ugly American wide body. The risk of vaccination is a 0.0017% chance of negative outcome to be 96% immune Israel has reams of data with hundreds of thousands of human real world data points to back that up. When I got my second dose the vast majority of people getting their first dose were 20s and 30s Texas is basically done with the boomers and the 40s group half have a 1B level illness and got the vax months ago.

I fully expect the CDC to issue yellow cards some time soon. I use mine to get in and out if Africa on the regular they will just add another line right after yellow fever , dengue fever, and typhus. Easy peasy. The DRC , Gabon, and Lagos all require them. I’m a petroleum geologist amongst other things use it mine in equatorial Africa all the time.

I've got mine...just need to print it off on some card stock and fill it out.

There are no security features on the card, so it would be useless as a passport. (But the CDC is thinking forward, because it left spaces for vaccination for Ebola 22 and Walking Dead Virus 23!)

I had thought that all vaccine recipients were entered into databases.

The vaccine non-passport states seem to be doing better with respect to COVID19 infections and deaths - perhaps risk is best managed personally, rather than leaving the thinking to government bureaucrats?

I agree.

I had Covid-19 last January in Thailand/Laos, but luckily started immediately on Hydroxychloroquine as an anti malaria prophylactic.(was traveling a few days down the Mekong River)

Like you, I have had so many vaccinations for world travel. Last prior to this was Japanese Encephalitis and Yellow Fever.

I use the university pharmacists at the med school who are certified as world travel consultants for disease prevention. Whatever they say, it goes in me. They’ve done a real good job so far, and if I die, so be it. Did it before in 1988 from meningitis and the odds are 100% it will happen again.

I waited for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

“... would be a HIPAA violation”

Funny how with this “virus”.. HIPAA has gone completely OUT the window. It doesn’t exist for this.. People will ask if/when you’ve gotten the vaccine like it is suppose to be PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE. If you choose NOT to share any info, then you are some sort of destroyer of humanity. The “I got the vaccine” crowd reminds me of some weird high school group... and you aren’t “IN” unless you talk about your vaccine experience. We live in really, really weird times

I’m OK handling my COVID treatment personally. And my state (of mind) requires no passport, so I won’t be printing off a dummy copy for the dummies.

“...Ebola 22 and Walking Dead Virus 23!” LOL! Bear in mind...”Other” could be a spot to indicate how you voted in the last ejection!

Yes...I said ejection. ;-)
