I'm double dose vaccinated and did so through New York City. I got the card with the dates and the lot number of my doses, but is this really considered a "certification" of vaccination? A handwritten card?
I'm seeing places like Iceland that will let in tourists if they can certify vaccination, so what is certification? I've searched the NY health department web site and can't find any information about printing out a certificate or something that seems more official than a hand-written card. I have emails from the board of health confirming that I followed through with my appointments. Right now I have the card and the emails printed and locked in my firebox because this is the only proof I have. Are we just not there yet? I know vaccine passports are the hot culture war topic of the moment, so maybe it's just too soon? I'm not looking to go anywhere, but I'm also one of those people who just wants to have everything settled and locked away in my box for safekeeping for future use when needed.
