Virginia Department of Health Announces Launch of QR Codes to Verify COVID-19 Vaccination Status ~ QR codes are secure and private for users, easy for businesses ~
RICHMOND – The Virginia Department of Health today announced the addition of QR codes – a type of barcode that can be scanned with smartphones – to Virginia COVID-19 vaccination records.
QR codes – short for “quick response” – are commonly used in retail, logistics, and other sectors. The technology allows anyone to show proof of vaccination with a digital or printed QR code instead of a paper card, and without the need for an app. As more and more employers and businesses respond to calls by President Biden and Governor Northam to require that employees and customers be vaccinated, QR codes will help improve the consistency and security of vaccination information while protecting individual privacy.
A person vaccinated in Virginia can visit vaccinate.virginia.gov to obtain their free vaccination record with QR code, which can then be saved to a phone gallery, printed on paper, or stored in a compatible account.
QR codes contain the same information as paper records, but in a format that offers greater security and efficiency. Because the QR code is digitally signed by the Virginia Department of Health, it cannot be altered or forged. Information from QR codes is only available if and when the individual chooses to share it. Businesses and employers that choose to verify an individual’s vaccination status can scan QR codes with the free SMART Health Verifier App. Individuals do not need to download an app to use QR codes.
Virginia is now the fifth U.S. state to adopt the SMART Health format for QR codes, empowering individuals with trustworthy and verifiable copies of their vaccination records in digital or paper form using open, interoperable standards. The framework and standards were developed by VCI, a coalition of more than 800 public and private organizations – including The Mayo Clinic, Boston Children’s Hospital, Microsoft, MITRE, and The Commons Project Foundation.
QR codes are available to anyone whose vaccination record includes a working phone number and is in the Virginia Immunization Information System (VIIS). Nearly all doses administered in Virginia are reported to VIIS, including pharmacies, physician offices, health department clinics, federally qualified health centers, and community vaccination centers. Some doses administered outside Virginia to Virginia residents may be in VIIS. Doses administered directly by federal agencies such as the Department of Defense or Department of Veterans Affairs are not reported to VIIS. A person whose record cannot be retrieved automatically may call 877-VAX-IN-VA (877-829-4682, TTY users call 7-1-1) for assistance.
With more than 10.2 million doses of vaccine administered so far in Virginia, more than 58% of the population is fully vaccinated. Everyone 12 or older is eligible to be vaccinated now. To find free vaccines nearby, visit vaccinate.virginia.gov or call 877-VAX-IN-VA (877-829-4682, TTY users call 7-1-1). Assistance is available in English, Spanish, and more than 100 other languages.

Mark of the Beast.
Tucker Carlson predicted this several days ago
Time to hack databases.
Lots of under the table earnings to be made.
Collect UI and fight the man at the same time...
They are acting like this is a good thing.
I dont think so
Or, stamped on their right hand or on their forehead.
Yup, one step closer to Revelation chapter 13
Forehead or wrist?
The mark of the jab.
Signifying they took an ineffective, genetically modified, attempt at a vaccine. That neither works or is safe.
And that the Drug Manufacturers are not legally responsible for.
Mark of the Beast.
First three numbers of the code start with 666....
Actually:
Revelation 13:16
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
If we have to get it stamped on our body, I know the exact place I want mine. Hopefully, they make really small stamps.
Mark of the Beast.

I knew someone would beat me to it.
Just get the saved QR code jpg off the net and put it on your phone.
62 second response. Slow today.
I must have been asleep when QR codes suddenly became secure. I have always seen them as a security risk but I guess the Biden magic wand turned water into wine with this.
Geez. Another thing I won’t be getting. 😱💉🐴💩
Lets forget about this you are supposed to be upset about the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Or you should be mad about the genocidal Chinese I read the BBC News stories every week about the Uighur Muslims and Glenn Beck was repeating the story on his show today.
Joe Biden formed an anti-China alliance with Australia and the UK this week.
Get on the page forget about COVID tyranny in the USA and listen to the BBC, Joe Biden and Glenn Beck.
You need to be worried about China people...sarc
It’s what China does.
