Pierce County Health Launches Vaccine Verification Program
PIERCE COUNTY, WA The Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department has announced a new vaccine verification program, encouraging local businesses to voluntarily require customers to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination before they are allowed inside.
The program is called BRAVO or Businesses Requiring A Vaccine Verification Onsite and marks the first time the health department has officially encouraged vaccine verification as a key to entry. Under the program, local businesses are invited to request customers provide COVID-19 vaccine cards or photos of cards, or printed or mobile records from vaccine providers, MyIR or WA Verify, before they are allowed entry. In return, participating businesses receive guidance, support and free promotion from the health department.
"This program means everyone 12 and older must show proof of COVID-19 vaccination at your business," TPCHD explains.
Customers who are not vaccinated are allowed to provide a negative COVID-19 test for entry at BRAVO businesses, or they can request outdoor seating, takeout, and other virtual options.
