If you need or want to carry your COVID vax card, these lanyards work well

[CousinIT]

They don't damage the card, and you can slip it out to add entries for boosters, etc. And you can likely get them elsewhere easily if Amazon is too evil for you (wouldn't blame anyone for that)

1. Is blank CDC card included ?

🤔

✌🏻

[CousinIT]

6. No I doubt it

Or at least I'd hope not!

[dweller]

14. Wonder how they got one

for the demo ...

✌🏻

[CousinIT]

17. Good question.

2. I bought a 10 pack of the plastic sleeves on Amazon, they work great.

Gave them out to family and friends I know that have been vaccinated.

[Arkansas Granny]

26. I did the same. They didn't have the lanyard attached, but they fit the card

perfectly and protect it from damage and have options for attaching to lanyard or badge clips.

3. Yep, these work well and are of excellent quality! n/t

4. So you can be like a backstage VIP?

Let me in here maskless, coming through, excuse me...


I never thought a record of health info would be treated like backstage laminates at Coachella.

5. lol

7. Vaccinated Important Person. Sure! n/t

[Goonch]

8. COOL -

Mine's in a sandwich bag ;-{)

[Buckeye_Democrat]

9. Yep, I got some already.

I chose a bigger size, large enough for a travel passport, and stuck the other vaccination paperwork in there too -- e.g., the "prescription" information given to me by the local pharmacy each time, with my information and the vaccine administer's information printed on it too. (An actual MD gave me the shots.)

10. Mine's in my wallet.

11. Office Max is copying and laminating vax cards FOR FREE until July

We went to local OM to get our cards reduced to business card size and laminated. Went to pay and they said there's no charge, almost couldn't believe it.

Apparently we aren't the only ones wanting to carry a copy of our vax records in our wallets. Thanks, Office Max!

[CousinIT]

12. Not a bad idea. Much easier to carry as business size.

If you get a booster it would need to be redone. Wonder how long they'll do it for free?

[Sogo]

15. Do you know: Is that just for your store or company wide?

Where are you located?

[Colgate 64]

16. Staples does it for free, too.

[Sogo]

19. Thx.

23. I read somewhere that your card should remain in its original condition just in case

we need to get a booster or an additional vax somewhere down the road and would need the card to have that additional information recorded on it. I made a photocopy of mine and put it in my wallet. The original is in my documents file along with passport, birth cert.

My vaccine record is also available on the electronic record with my health care provider. Need to check to see it CDC has an equivalent e -record.

[Sogo]

13. Thanks.

I added it to my Amazon list.

[kimbutgar]

18. I made copies of mine and laminated them.

The original I keep in my safe and I carry one laminated in my wallet and the other I carry in my work bag.

20. All the data is out there.

There needs to be a CDC Vaccination APP tied into the database.

Our evidence of vaccination will be a QR code displayed on our phones.

Or for the luddites, a plastic card with the QR code printed on it.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

24. I agree, and coincidentally...

... I looked up the progress of such passports a few hours ago.

Not much yet, and mostly linked to the airlines. And many of them are still in the trial phase too.

https://thepointsguy.com/guide/digital-health-passports/

By the way, the IATA has most of the biggest USA airlines as members. (Not Southwest Airlines, though.)

I'd prefer to see a Federal agency do it too, though, but that may not happen unless Biden changes his stance about it.

Every state in the country keeps a database of the Covid vaccine recipients except for New Hampshire and some large cities like NYC that record the information themselves. I assume that the individual vaccination sites in NH are required to maintain those records, at least.

[WarGamer]

25. I might not like the concept of it... BUT

after all this is a killer global pandemic and I think we can stretch the rules for that.

[Evergreen Emerald]

21. They are too small for my card.

My card is 4.5 x 4. The one you linked is 4x3.

[BigmanPigman]

22. I got my 2nd one yesterday and already

"laminated" it by putting two layers of clear packing tape on both sides after reducing it by 70% to fit in my wallet. I already made three pins to wear saying "I'm Vaccinated". I won't be going out much but just in case I thought it would set a good example.

[Treefrog]

27. Nobody has yet asked for proof of vax,

Great idea but who asks for this?

[CousinIT]

28. No one yet. People seem to want to affirm it though...

...to encourage others, and let people know they're protected from getting sick from or spreading the virus to others.

I'd not have an issue with it being asked for or required
