Vaccination card

[Jt4428]

Can I bring a copy of our vaccination cards to the check in at the port or does it have to be the original?

thanks

I brought the original with copies as a backup.

You need the originals.

Wife had both of ours on her phone, they asked to see the original.

Not the question you asked, but I've seen plastic sleeves (on Amazon) to hold vaxx cards.  Would keep them from becoming ragged in your purse or pocket.

I purchased a passport holder that has a separate pocket for my vaccination card. Keeps the card from wear and tear in my purse.

Bring your original.   We keep them in Plastic sleeve with our passports.

Thank you all.

Did you get turned away or you had the originals?

I put mine in a Ziploc sammich baggie and keep it inside my passport.  The baggie was almost free.

Just get a passport book with a location for the COVID card and be done with it. Better to bring the original when traveling internationally (even on a cruise ship).

 

I would just make sure to keep a copy of it at home as well so that way you could always get a new one if you happen to wreck it somehow.

 

Amazon and likely other places have the passport books.

We also purchased one. I didn’t think it would be that great but DH purchased one for me anyway. Best thing ever to keep passport, drivers license and vaccination card together. So handy.

That's what we have.  I also have plastic sleeves for just the card if we don't need our passports for something else.

 

These are what we have.  DH has blue and I have pink.  Makes it easier to know which is which.

Thanks for sharing the links.  The blue is $2 less and the pink is $1 less than the other colors. I like the idea of having a different color for each person as I'm always the one in charge of passing out the passports to family members.  And now that everyone is grown and can keep up with their own documents, it will be nice to each have their own color.

Sounds like the one I purchased from Amazon.  They are of great quality. When I showed the people we cruised with, the ones I purchased for my husband and me, everyone loved them.

They actually didn’t check ours last week. We had to separately upload the main vaccine and the boosters (which are the same card for us).

DH card was destroyed in the wash.  The state of Pennsylvania does not replace the actual card but sends out a copy of your immunization records.  Is this gonna be an issue at check in?
