There might be occasions in future that you will have to show proof of vaccination.

(2,149 posts)A medical person suggested no lamination because the plastic film can lift the ink and mess up your card.

(36,745 posts)There are extra fields on it for subsequent booster shots. Put it into a plastic protector.
Treat it like a passport, because it very well may become one.

V-safe is a smartphone-based tool that uses text messaging and web surveys to provide personalized health check-ins after you receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Through v-safe, you can quickly tell CDC if you have any side effects after getting a COVID-19 vaccine. Depending on your answers to the web surveys, someone from CDC may call to check on you and get more information. V-safe will also remind you to get your second COVID-19 vaccine dose if you need one.
