If you get the Pfizer vaccination, remember to bring your card back for the second dose.

I have been giving the Pfizer vaccination for two months now. Every day, some people forget their vaccination card when they come back for their second dose. I have to make up a new card for them which takes time since I have to look up their first dose information. Please keep your vaccination card in a safe place. Also, it is a good idea to take a picture of the card after you get vaccinated and keep it for your records just in case you lose it. You would be surprised at the number of people who tell me they lost or threw away their vaccination cards after their first dose.

I tell everyone when I hand them the card to put it in a safe place and bring it back for the second dose, Yesterday, I had a man yell at me that no one told him to keep the card so he threw it in the garbage after his first dose.

The vast majority of people that have got the vaccination have been great. I have been thanked many times a day. One of the nice parts of the job is interacting with the people. It is unusual to deal with a rude or angry person.

3. I'm sorry that jerk yelled at you. I'll bet he supports the Party of Personal Responsibility, too.

4. Air hugs to you.

A nephew is giving them at UC downtown. It is a drive up. People have been flat out abusive like it is his fault getting the appointment was a pain. Add in the issues with cards, general everyday rudeness and working with car exhaust all day.

The rotate out with another team.

Thanks for posting. A reminder about the cards and what staff are facing every day.

Thank you for your service.

5. Got first shot of Moderna

last week. Appointment was scheduled before leaving site. Verbally and per instruction sheet was told to bring card with me for second shot.
I think most people get the message.

6. Mine is still in the glove compartment

of my car. I got my first shot last week.

7. No problem. Hell, I still have my USAF vaccination

records from the mid-60s.

8. I made sure to keep Mom's vaccination card in MY purse

So I could readily find it when she got dragged in for the second dose.

17. A lot of times when couples come in, the wife will take both cards and put it in her purse.

Also, a person coming in with their older parents will take both cards.

9. My Moderna card is safely stored

I put it with my passport, SS card, birth certificate, check refills and other such documents in a drawer. Unimportant things do not go in that drawer. It took me many years to get that disciplined.

The real trick will be remembering to bring it with me.

10. exactly how stupid would one have to be

to throw the covid card in the trash?

[IrishEyes]

14. That is what surprised me.

I have had more than one person ask me when I hand them the card after their first or second dose if they can just throw it out.

11. Do you need anything else besides your driver's license for the second dose

I have my old insurance card but not the new one and that was a problem last time getting it verified

[IrishEyes]

13. You just need the vaccination card and your ID for the second dose.

I always tell people so they don't drag a lot of paperwork with them.

21. Thank you Irish 😊

12. I still have my draft card from 1968

And my original SS card. Back then you didn’t get one as a baby.

[dhol82]

15. Just as an FYI, I was told to make a copy of my card and have that laminated to show

If you laminate your original one it can’t be added to if you need a booster shot or something else.
I thought that was a good idea.

[IrishEyes]

18. Yeah, my parents made a copy and took a picture of their card.

I recommend to people that they make a copy to laminate but not to laminate the original.

16. It would have been nice

if the CDC had produced a card the size of a driver's license or credit card, one that fits in the average wallet. But I'm not complaining - at least I got the Moderna vaccine with a lot less hassle than most people.

[IrishEyes]

19. That would have been nice.

I get some cards that were folded in half to fit in their wallet.

20. My doctors office

Just a small outfit, he's been my doctor for 37 years but they told me today that they now have the vaccine is distributing it at least a few times a week.....
