California has launched their vaccine verification portal, www.myvaccinerecord.cdph.ca.gov. But definitely don’t call it a “passport.” Instead, the site allows vaccinated Californians to access their vaccination information which will be downloaded into a QR Code on their phone and can provide secured verification before entering sites that require it. While participation in the verification system will not be mandatory, it could provide a simpler way to access those records for individuals who were vaccinated early or have lost their vaccination cards.
