I took a closer look at the “vaccination card protection sleeves” and realized that they looked a lot like badge holders that I’d previously gotten at SF conventions. So I dug through the bag where I keep my con souvenirs and sure enough I was able to repurpose one of them.
And people wonder why I hang on to stuff. 
So what was it you were doing on that day in 1975? Were you eating potato chips? Greasy potato chips? Young lady, your mother TOLD you you are NOT allowed any POTATO chips until you clean your ROOM! Isn’t that what she told you? ISN’T THAT WHAT SHE TOLD YOU?
NO! You LOOK at me when I am TALKING to you, do you hear me?!?
When I move OUT of this dump, I’ll eat potato chips ALL DAY if I want to! I HATE you! THAT’S what I was writing in my JOURNAL!

Agreed. Probably the most important thing is to make sure your vaccination gets entered into your medical records. Call your clinic and ask how they want to get that information (they may be able to just enter it off a photo of your vaccine card, but my clinic is weird about email - they want things fax’d. So I have to drop stuff off.
The printer ink we were using for our patient information smears really easily…But we have every single person we vaccinated in the computer and can access those records if needed - all the information on your card (and then some) is in your patient record. Since most (but not all) of the people vaccinated through the health system were already patients in the health system, for most people we vaccinated, their primary medical records got updated. If you got vaccinated through somewhere other than your health system, that’s where the problem will be - especially if you got vaccinated through a pop up or can’t remember if it was CVS or Walgreens that gave you your shot.
Yeah, I emailed my doctor a photo of my card, and included all the info (lot numbers, etc.) in the text of the email, as well. In the unlikely chance some lot is found to be bad, he’s more likely to learn about it than I am.
From this evening’s Oregon Health Authority email:
How to present proof of vaccination
As we ease into a holiday weekend, many people in Oregon who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will continue to wear a mask in public places. For those fully vaccinated people who want to take their mask off where allowed with proof of vaccination, please remember:
If you don’t have proof of vaccination, you can still enter an establishment but you must wear a mask and physically distance. Have a safe weekend!
I recall doing some travelling many years ago in the before times, and some of the countries that I was travelling to required evidence of the yellow fever vaccine for entry. So I got what is called a “yellow card”, which is a yellow card (weird, I know) with a bunch of hand-written entries detailing my vaccination records, including the yellow fever vaccine. It’s supposed to be written by the medical professional who administers the vaccine, but who would know? I found this whole thing kind of dubious, but no one ever asked to see it. If countries do want evidence of vaccination for entry, why not piggyback on this already existing system of dubious value rather than a whole new system of dubious value?
