Say goodbye to the COVID-19 vaccination card. The CDC has stopped printing them
The once-critical white COVID-19 vaccination cards are being phased out. Vaccines are not being distributed by the federal government anymore, so the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has stopped printing new cards.
"Our half-assed attempt at accountability didn't accomplish the goals we never established or measured."
Well I mean without a consolidated NatID there aren't very many viable ways to actually index that kind of stuff
They could have been a plastic card with rfid tags or even just a qr code that directs to the CDC site with a name, picture, and vax status. It doesn't need to link to ssn number or driver's license number.
Hey NWO conspiracy big brains. I thought this was supposed to be a permanent visa?
I'm still waiting for the vaccine to kill me. They promised I only had 2 years, but here I am...
"iTS BeCaUsE wE sToPpEd ThEm!"
- magical thinking morons
Wasn’t it considered a conspiracy that they would even exist at all?
I'm gonna keep mine and pull it out when I want to revisit the time I got on 95 in New Hampshire the day after they announced everything is shut down.
Just me.
Normally, it's thousands of cars.
Just me, lol. I was laughing my ass off and just kept saying, "No way, man. No fucking way." That was so wild.
I just remember gas being 1.99 and thinking how crazy that was.
And they were still bullshitting us at that price. They hit negative numbers. Were paying oil barrel buyers to store it. Negative prices.
Mid to late 90's in Georgia (US) when I heard OPEC would start limiting barrel sales. We were at $0.63/gallon. Knew I'd never see that again. The days of pocket/couch change road trips.
Yep. Essential healthcare worker here. Spent every day feeling like I was living in an apocalypse movie during my commute. Normal 30+ min commute was 22 minutes.
Los angeles freeways were empty! It was beautiful. Everyone on them were flying at 80mph with zero accidents.
Yeah, it was eerie. I was "essential" and driving in during what would normally be rush hour and only seeing two cars the whole way was wild.
I lived in a major city at the time, the sidewalks were insanely empty. I was the only person for 3 blocks at one point, blocks that are usually absolutely packed. When everyone started coming back, and I lost my peaceful big city… >:[
Same here. I was alone on the 405 by LAX. It was surreal.
That's how driving on 90 or Route 9 east into Boston was. Normally a nightmare but on Route 9 I'd hit green lights the whole way.
1 hour commute turned into 15-20 minutes
I lamented mine already. Its value will go up ten years from now.
Laminated?
Lamented, yup
They lose their value if you laminate them. You wouldn't laminate Action Comics #1, would you?
You might lament doing it though and that's valid
Wouldn’t undamaged laminated comics be worth more than unlaminated damaged ones?
You know ... you have a point
I threw mine out long ago. I live in a deep red state, and nobody ever asked for them anyways.
The only time I was ever asked for my vaccination card was by a healthcare client at a previous gig. I've had more cards than I've had questions about it.
an obviously important step in the Illuminati plan to keep tabs on everyone.
I brought mine with me when I got the latest booster, and the pharmacist said that she hadn’t seen one of those in a long time.
Brought mine too, realized it was full, so the pharmacist offered me a new one. It only has two slots for boosters, which seems ridiculously optimistic now.
I brought mine to my booster two weeks ago, and the last spot was still empty (I couldn't get the first shot for like six months after it was available). The woman giving the shot didn't even mention it, and I forgot about it until I'd already left.
Maybe I should have asked for it and then for a free ice cream or something.
I also brought mine with. Took it out while I was waiting and realized it was full. Put it back in my wallet. When the pharmacist came in she handed me a new card.
Not what I was expecting.
I filled mine up a while back and just use the one on my phone wallet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wait, no prize for a full card? WTH, you sure?
The prize is not getting horribly sick or dying of COVID. I got it once in the very beginning pre-vaccine, and it was 12 days of the worst misery I’d ever experienced. No thanks on a repeat of that!
Gonna frame mine with the title "Free CDC Cardstock"
I'm going to still keep mine in my medical bag along with my other meds since I'm immune compromised. Just in case, etc.
I'm flying to Ireland in March for a batchelorette party and my friend was putting the tickets on her card. She asked for my covid Vax card, and I was like: do they still require that??
They don't.
At one point people couldn't even go to a sporting event without one. Now it's, "Just kidding.". Idiots
I wasn’t allowed to eat in the food court at the mall with my daughter and we both had ours.
But because I don’t carry my government issued ID with me at all times (I have my vaccination stuff in my iOS wallet and my daughters in a PDF and pay for shit using my watch) the security guards wouldn’t let us sit down to eat.
It was perfectly fine for us to sit on a bench in the mall and eat though. It was perfectly fine for us to stand in line to buy food, too.
Just not good enough to present a vaccination card without a government issued photo ID to sit in the food court. I don’t know how the security guards expected me to have a government issued photo ID for my daughter though, maybe that was just a requirement for people 18+
So ridiculous.
