The Future of COVID Vaccination Cards: To Keep or Not to Keep?
COVID-19 vaccination cards are no longer required for in-person activities, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) no longer distributes them. However, it is recommended to keep the card for future reference and medical decisions. If misplaced, New York City residents can request verification of their vaccine status from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which can provide an official record of vaccination history. Health-care providers can also access immunization records through the New York State Immunization Information System (NYSIIS).
