How can I prove I've been vaccinated?

[RainCaster]

Of course I haven't (yet), but once that's done, how will I be able to prove that?
How about vaccination records for Healthcare or transportation workers?
How about first responders?
As travel between countries opens up, proof of this may be required. What agreements are in place to document this?

I have no answers, but I want to start the conversation. Hopefully, it will be picked up by folks who can really do something about it.

1. It may work like when you get a flu shot...

When I get a flu shot at the pharmacy, I have to fill out some paperwork and sign it, and I get a copy when I leave.

2. I would love to have a stamp in my passport...

I so want to go back to Canada.

3. I believe you are to get a card. That card will also serve as a reminder for shot #2

After that, not sure, but I'll bet they have a tracking system and proof mechanisms. Or they will once Joe steps in.

14. Yes this is what I am hearing as well, we will get a card. nt

4. Very important question.

And in the end, may be somewhat unanswerable.

A secondary question, is how do you prove you've had both shots? Given that the vaccines approved so far require two.

Not to mention, that all of us will need to keep on wearing masks for a very long time. Because it's going to take a very long time for a significant number of people to be vaccinated, and given that the vaccine apparently mitigates the virus, rather than preventing infection and illness completely, meaning vaccinated people who get the virus will still be infectious (I'm honestly trying to figure out how this is actually a vaccine, given those restraints) means we will all still need to behave as if there's no vaccine at all.

So we will all be self-isolating and wearing masks well into the fall of next year. Maybe longer.

My WWII analogy is looking better all the time. This is going to go on a lot longer than people think.

6. I'm pretty sure our insurance will keep up with it.

For those of us without, Im not sure.

7. "Vaccination cards will be issued to everyone getting Covid-19 vaccine, health officials say"

11. Just use the RFID chip reader.

12. You always get receipt from pharmacy

Normally I throw away flu one but this one will keep.

13. It might not be something we would want people to be able to prove.

Could people still be infectious after they're vaccinated for COVID-19?

That CBS News article says it's not known yet. If a proof of vaccination was provided then vaccinated people would assume that proof was provided to them for a reason, and they'd happily throw away their masks and get back into social mingling.

If it turns out that people can still be infectious after they're vaccinated then there won't be any reason for anyone to prove to anyone else that they are, but for now it's just not known. Vaccinated people will just have to settle for knowing that they're very unlikely to get sick from COVID-19.

15. I have a yellow card from WHO in my passport that is a

record of my vaccinations. Maybe they will put it there.

16. A tracking chip?

17. Take a selfy of you getting the shot (jab?) with your receipt in the pic... That might work...nt
