Have you been asked for proof of COVID-19 vaccination to attend a concert or a local sporting event, for travel, or to dine in a restaurant? If you have created a digital copy and keep it on your phone, you are all set.

But what do you do if you lost your cardboard vaccination card, or put it in a safe place and now cannot remember where that is?

Lucky for you, most vaccine providers and state health departments have a process in place to get a duplicate card, maybe not cardbaoard but certainly a digital version of you vaccination card.

1.  Contact your vaccine provider to see how you can access your vaccine record.

2.  Contact your state health department's Immunization Information System.  Your vaccine provider sends vaccine information to the appropriate state health department's Immunization Information System (IIS).

3. Contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)  because they have IIS records for all 50 states listed online, where you can look up and obtain a digital copy of your COVID-19 vaccination records after verifying some personal information.

When you get a duplicate vaccine record, store it on your phone, store it on your computer, and print two copies-one for your walet and another to be kept in a safe place.
