How to get a new vaccine card in the DMV

Keeping up with our inconveniently sized vaccination cards has proven difficult.

While local businesses will accept a photo as proof of vaccination, there are situations where the real thing is still necessary.

Here’s what to do if you lose your card:

Washingtonians and Marylanders: Both health departments use MyIR Mobile for online immunization records. 

• Log in (or register) to access your records, and get proof of vaccination.

Virginians: The Vaccination Record Request Portal lets residents view and print a QR record of their COVID vaccinations.

• But, vaccinations received out of state or through federal agencies won’t show up in the portal.
• To access other immunization records, check the Virginia Immunization Information System.

In many cases, you can also contact your vaccination provider for a replacement card.
