So I am good with their tracking, it’s not close to the correct spelling.

Read the post.. it was pointed out to different individuals at site, names were incorrect.
Statement from all involved at vaccine site, was “not to worry” Card is fine.
They asked for a new card with correct name, the answer was “I can cross off and rewrite name, but not give a new card.” For those with incorrect names, scratched off would be worse.
So your thoughts of Taken Care of it Then and There may not have happened. It didn’t for the 4 people we know.
But maybe you have a better handle on changing their minds on a correcting information.
Since the vaccine is not tied to any Government ID. They didn’t take a photo of DL, or Passport, social security card, or write any numbers down from IDs. As far as tracking or proof, a paper card is all there is.
Hospital employees have their records on file in Their system, in HR, so they have verification other than a white card.
However if you are a Veteran, and used a VA facility, that info is in your records. Verification Is in the VA system with Date, Lot number, within minutes. My card is correct, vaccine given at Gainesville VA, and I can pull up the vaccine information if I should ever need it, as can any physician in the VA system.
