The Man that gave us our 2nd shots suggested we take a picture of our card and keep it on our phone

[demtenjeep]

and then keep the card in the files where we keep birth certificates and marriage licenses and things of important nature




I think that is sound adviceEEE

[Ananda62]

1. I was told

The same thing when I got my 2nd shot. I have a photo of my card on my phone. We might have to produce evidence of vaccination in the near future.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

2. Good advice.

Not to later post the picture online, of course, but to have another record of it.

[demtenjeep]

3. yes. I can see some places only admitting in provable double vaccine people and that suits me fine

choices have consequences

[TheCowsCameHome]

4. I was asked for it by my dermatologist today.

They made a copy and added it to my medical file.

Fine with me.

5. Just don't share it online

I'm not saying you would but apparently, people are taking pics of their vaccination cards and posting them on social media.

6. That's a great idea.

I was going to laminate mine, but this is so much better...

Thanks for posting!

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

7. Ha, I did that as soon as I got #2, lol, put the card with my yellow WHO vaccination record

I have two yellow books, one is full, the rest added in, its a medical vaccine record you NEVER want to lose

Yeah I traveled to a lot of jungles, lol

8. One of the young women doing my vaccination

Told me the same thing. I still have to figure out the best place to store mine, prolly with passports in a fire safe is best.

9. I'd get a couple notarized copies and stash

them in several places. One at the house, safety deposit box, primary doctor’s office etc. Register it with your local health department.

10. Mine is currently in my wallet with my license, need to present it when I go for shot #2

[Blue Dawn]

11. Thanks for all of the advice and the info!

Once we get our second shots, I will take photos on my phone and then be sure I make copies and store the original in my strong box and the copies in other locations.

DUers are always so smart and helpful!

[stopdiggin]

12. came up with this on my own

(do NOT need another card to carry around) -- and I'm a little disappointed that I wasn't given any advice at all about ID, documents, who might require, where it should be kept ... Or virtually anything along those lines. And surely in the future it is going to be something that will be relevant to many situations?.

(phone is not a bad idea for other forms and ID either. - i.e. vehicle registration, proof of insur, AARP, roadside assist, etc. - and anything that is somewhat sensitive in nature -- throw a password on it -- and your phone.)

[raccoon]

13. Thanks for posting this. NT

[underpants]

14. Already done. I put the card with my drivers license.

[MaryMagdaline]

15. I still have the metal box my father gave each of us with all of my immunization records and report

I’ll keep it in that box. My birth certificate is also there.

[Liberal In Texas]

16. I wasn't told, but I took a pic and put it in the file, ie "album" I have in Gallery on

the phone. The album file has all pictures of all my cards, medicare, health, vision, dental insurance, SSN, AAA. It sure beats carrying them all around with the risk of losing a wallet at some point.

I can foresee a time when people are going to start asking for proof of vaccination. It's just that kind of world now.

[ProfessorGAC]

17. Where I Got My First Shot...

All the staff was telling people that. I took the pic of mine right at the table before I even pulled my sleeve back down.
I essentially saw dozens flashing pix of their card.
Then, to have a dupe, I emailed it to our main inbox.

[USALiberal]

18. Well, it would be really easy to forge these, not sure why it really matters. nt

[Treefrog]

24. That's what I was thinking. I could take a picture of someone's record, and carry it in my phone.

Who would know the difference?

[USALiberal]

25. Yep!! Nt

19. The NC State Dept of Health Services

is set up for providers to upload the information of when, where, what vaccine was given to an individual. Yesterday I received an email from NC DHHS telling me how I could access my profile and, indeed, all the info is there. I suspect that once a Federal digital profile is developed, it will access this kind of state info that will probably be needed for international travel.

I also took a photo on my phone of my card after my second shot on Monday.

NC has been recognized as having the best demographic data in the country regarding the distribution of vaccines. Thanks go to our Democratic Governor Roy Cooper and the NC DHHS for being on top of the process.

20. Put a photo of it in your passport, if no cell phone, and you plan to travel abroad.

[mcar]

21. I took a photo and got our cards laminated

[TomWilm]

22. ... plus the numbers and security codes for all credit cards and ...

Why keep important certificates and licenses in a place so easily lost and misused?

But just the vaccine stuff, yes absolutely!

[MoonRiver]

23. Yes, we have done that!

Eventually we will travel internationally again, and you never know what an agent will ask about the vaccination.
