TL;DR Summary

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stopped printing new Covid-19 vaccination cards now that vaccines are being distributed through commercial markets instead of by the federal government. Federal and local health officials do not anticipate a significant impact from the discontinuation of the cards, as their use for entry into venues has largely diminished. Individuals can still use their existing cards as proof of vaccination, but those who need their Covid-19 immunization records will have to request them from the clinic, pharmacy, or health department where they received the shot. Some states offer digital vaccination records, while others require patients to consent to inclusion in immunization registries.
