Your vaccination is being tracked in a state data base
 

I surely hope this system to track our vaccinations will work as they claim it should. This will eliminate forgery for proof of vaccination.

Tracking the COVID-19 vaccine , from your arm to a CDC database

So does George Orwell!!!

I guess you believe Vaccine Passports are a bad idea?

It's in your Permanent Record!

Horrible idea

Why are they still calling me to schedule my first dose when I have already had both doses? I would question the accuracy of such a database.

Europe is bringing in Vaccine passports to allow free travel.
I expect we in the UK will now have them, as the EU is doing everything it can to stuff us over Brexit, and they would love another excuse to stick one on us.
Once passports start, governments will all jump on the train.
I'm pretty sure it will be mandatory to travel and enter countries in many parts of the world before long.

Did you cancel other booking you made?

Agreed

The answer is easy.

Because they are not looking at CDC to decide if you still need to be on their list. They are simply going down their list of requests for appointments.

I love to breathe my own carbon dioxide. So healthy.

Ask the folks who used the state unemployment data base how well that worked.
Color me cynical.

"We're from the government and we're here to help" goes along with jumbo shrimp and honest politician.

We were comparing white cards the other day. 4 out of 9 cards last name spelled incorrectly. When mentioned at second dose, we were told not to worry. Card is fine. So tracking is the lot# and who gave dose, but correct name is not important.
So I am good with their tracking, it’s not close to the correct spelling.

The name may be important one day, if it has to marry up to a passport.

As usual, the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.

Actually, if you registered more than once or at different providers, when your number in line comes up they call, etc. They would have to have access to State site and look each time, doubt that would happen due to time involved.

Assume international travel is not your thing.

You assume correctly, especially if it means getting vaccinated

I think it's a great idea. I would like to see these passports used for domestic and international travel, cruising and all sorts of venue options where lots of people gather such as concerts, theater shows (can't wait to get Broadway back up and running), sporting events, etc.

What is the harm in having vaccination records that can not be forged? Already, people are talking about forging those cards that we received when we get our shots. Having our vaccinations in a data base will prevent that from happening.

I did not give my SS# when I registered. I did give GMR my driver's license when I received my first shot. To this day, I receive a weekly text asking me how I am feeling after my vaccinations. I'm hopeful that my information is in a data base for future reference.

Why are you opposed? Please don't tell me "big brother is watching". That already is happening.

Just to let you know....this discussion is not about masks. But, just to set your mind at ease..........

During that 15 minute observation period, I checked my card to make sure the entered information was correct. If anything needed correction, I would have taken care of it then and there.

Where I went they had me fill in the name on the card.

our senator is not getting vaccinated..why should I?
 

I notice in a recent NY Daily News article that several US senators, including our former governor, are not getting vaccinated. Will they get diplomatic passports instead of vaccination passports for their foreign travels?

follow up calls
 

Wow. I had both of my shots with GMR and they never e-mailed me to see how I was feeling afterwards and the thing is I did want to report the problem I had when the first shot went right into a nerve. It's better but I still have some residual problem with that arm and it's been months. The night I had that shot I didn't sleep at all from extreme pain running from my shoulder to my fingertips.

My guess is anyone who is not vaccinated will have to show proof of negative test or be tested at the venue. Again.....just a guess.

Sorry to hear that your injection was improperly administered. I would imagine that is no fault of the vaccine, but the person who gave you the shot.

My husband signed me and himself up for those follow-up checks. He is not sure if it was with the state or the CDC.

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.

Horrible idea to have proof you and others are vaccinated before crowding onto a plane? Maybe for you but I prefer to know that the person next to me is protected like I am. Just common decency

If tracking is being done, it is probably from the information entered on line when people register, not what is written on the card that is given when vaccination is done. IMHO.

When its mandatory for travel, then what? How are you going to feel about inaccurate spelling then?

Publix does not take cancelations, they say on website to just not show up.

Maybe because they know what's in it. Info available at the CDC website. You might be surprised, or horrified.

I don’t trust our Government one bit and we definitely don’t need them tracking us anymore then they already do. Read some history books!

My card is correct, given by the military. I travel with military ID, which my vaccine is tied to my records.
If you read the post, there were 4 people whose white card, that was incorrect. It’s a white card, not tied to any government ID, that I am pretty sure a 5yo with a good scanner and printer can duplicate

Actually federal database

Why? If you are protected, why do you feel the need to have all others share your sentiments? I don’t understand the obsession with people demanding that everyone get vaccinated...

Yes, horrible idea. I don't think some people realize what a slippery slope it could become. I find it hard to believe that people are so paralyzed by fear of what in the scheme of things for the last 1000 years is an insignificant virus that they would be willing to sacrifice the freedoms many have fought and died for. And don't tell me 500,000 + died, etc etc., it is still insignificant when put in perspective.

Good point Tom!

The white card I have was hand-scribbled with a smudgey ink pen by a couple people (yes, real official - like someone can’t produce a million of them in one day that look more official than the one I have) — there is no way to validate or really confirm against any ‘golden’ source.
Just my opinion - Covid vaccine data is probably as good as the data used by the CDC to report the ‘cause of death’ data for this past year, probably as accurate as the voting data from the last election, probably as accurate as the data tracked for those entering and leaving the country and certainly as accurate as the data used by those callers I get almost everyday telling me they are from the SSA & my Social Security number has been jeopardized..... :-).

Since I have had the vaccine - I have been contacted by UF and The Villages Health to “‘come-on-in’ for your vaccines!!” Sure, that is nice - but, how is that National or State or CDC database working? Really - what is this telling us ——— it tells us that our government is not able to capture and govern data in a secure, consistent and trusted manner.

I do have my smudgy hand written Covid vaccine card - yeah!!!! Wow — I still have my Original SSN card - and even that was printed - on probably one of the first printers ever made back in the 60s.

I think it’s pretty easy to imagine that the COVID vaccination record will be required to board airlines, cruise ships, and stadium events in the future. The vaccination record card is larger than a credit card, which is pretty brain dead. They should have made the vaccination proof card the same size as a credit card so that it fits in a wallet.

I think that the seniors in Florida are going to top out at 70% to 75% vaccinations. The lower ages will have much more people who decide that they don’t want the vaccination. If and when the airlines, cruise ships, stadiums, and other large crowd events required the proof of vaccinations, those percentages will increase. But there will always be people who refuse the vaccinations.

yes.
