California Now Offers Portal to Access Digital Vaccine Record
 San Bernardino County residents (and others throughout the state) who’ve been vaccinated can now obtain a digital vaccination record to complement their paper card. The digital record will be virtually impossible to lose, and it won’t get torn, damaged, or lost in the wash.
The Digital COVID-19 Vaccine Record portal is a voluntary system that offers every vaccinated Californian an opt-in, secure, and shareable digital copy of their COVID-19 vaccination record. The Digital COVID-19 Vaccine Record portal is easy to use: a person enters their name, date of birth, and an email or mobile phone number associated with their vaccine record. After creating a 4-digit PIN, the user receives a link to their vaccine record that will open upon re-entry of the PIN.
QR code allows record to be stored on smartphone
The tool features a QR code along with a text display listing the individual’s name, date of birth, vaccine dates and vaccine manufacturer. The state employed the SMART Health Cards framework standard to generate the QR code, which enables users to store their digital vaccine records on their smartphone.
The QR code can then be scanned by venue operators with SMART Health Card-compliant scanners — enabling venue personnel to move people through event lines much faster than visual inspections. The code is readable only by a SMART Health Card scanner — a technology option chosen to protect users’ privacy.
