I haven't seen the answer to a question I've had a long time as we prepare for the Best of Greece tour in April. At international airports, are copies of your vaccinations/boosters acceptable? I can't see using the original card which may eventually fall apart from use. But...want to do the right thing! No holding up the line, etc.

If your concern is the card wearing out/falling apart, here is one solution -- https://www.amazon.com/Pack-Vaccination-Immunization-Waterproof-Resealable/dp/B08YNJRD8G?th=1
A resealable sandwich bag would do essentially the same.
Some places may be OK with a copy, but some may require 'the real thing'

This has been the best advice! We had locally been using a laminated copy of our cards. Meanwhile, driving by our local Walgreens since reading your reply, I thought I'd drop in and look to see if they had any of the plastic pockets and they did!! $1.50 for hard plastic with a lanyard hole punched in. They were sold to me by a pharmacist.
One more step forward! Thank you.
