TL;DR Summary

The CDC has announced that it will no longer print or issue COVID-19 vaccination cards, stating that it does not maintain vaccination records. Instead, individuals can obtain a digital or paper copy of their full vaccination record, including COVID-19 vaccinations, from their state health department's immunization information system. The decision comes as COVID vaccines are now being distributed through the commercial market, and the federal government has shipped over 980 million vaccination cards since late 2020. It is important to note that creating or using fake vaccination cards is illegal under federal law.
