Vaccine Card Cases Are a Thing—Here Are 20 Cute Ones to Shop
Kudos! You got your first coronavirus shot. Maybe you're even fully immunized. If so, you might be wondering what to do with your COVID-19 vaccine card right about now. Should you stuff it in a junk drawer, take a snap for your Instagram followers, or laminate it as a memento? These are all ideas—but probably not the best ones if you want to keep your vaccine record as safe as possible.
ICYMI, there's talk of a potential booster shot down the line, so experts say you might want to hold off on laminating your card in case it needs to be updated. And there's a chance vaccine passports may become a thing, which would require you to present proof of vaccination at airports, hotels, or other high-traffic venues you visit in the future. Cities like Los Angeles and New York City are even introducing apps that you can use to present digital proof of having a COVID-19 vaccination (or having negative test results), though you may feel more comfortable with just a physical copy.
All this means you probably want your COVID-19 vaccination records readily accessible—whether for traveling abroad or attending an outdoor concert.
So what's the best way to go about storing your vaccine card?
Experts recommend taking copies, and leaving the original in a spot with other important documents so you know where it is—and so scammers can't get a hold of it. It remains to be seen whether or not COVID-19 vaccine passes will become widely used, which is why the best move is to keep your card as safe as possible. Luckily, there are plenty of case protectors you can use for at-home storage, or when you're out and about. Think clear protective sleeves, cases with lanyards, leather card holders, and embroidered pouches that can accommodate certificates of varied sizes.
