The District of Columbia is launching a website dedicated to providing official digital vaccine records for residents.
COVID-19 digital vaccine records feature a QR code that shows — when scanned — the same information as an individual’s paper vaccination card issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It includes their name, date of birth, vaccination dates, and the manufacturer of the vaccine.
You can use this record as proof of vaccination, as well as your CDC card, and other digital or physical documents from your provider or pharmacy.
To request your digital vaccine record, you should go to vaccinerecord.dc.gov and fill out an online form. Then you will receive a link through your email or your cell phone. And your COVID-19 vaccine record will be viewable, along with a scannable QR code, after you put in your four-digit PIN.
Iphone users can save their digital vaccine record to the Apple Health app. Others may save a screenshot of it on their smartphones.
Most businesses and indoor facilities in the District currently require people to provide a proof of COVID-19 vaccination to enter, as per a mandate by Mayor Muriel Bowser.
The portal will be available starting Monday, February 14, 2022. For more information, you can call 1-855-363-0333.
