Is having a WHO yellowcard easier???

A WHO yellowcard has not be required by Americas to the EU I think...........never (I've never had one) . A white CDC card is required by most countries.

I could certainly be wrong, but the topic of an WHO Yellowcard has come up, in the past that was not an option, I believe due to the vaccines not having wide formal approval and various other reasons. That may have changed however.

I have an old WHO yellow card with records of decades-ago flu shots, not much use now. If whoever vaccinated you can give you one you might ask for it. But from all I read here and elsewhere, it seems like the CDC card is generally accepted as proof of vaccination -- along with photo ID showing that you are you.

jaeson1992, if you can get the people giving you the jab to do both, then get both. I couldn't get my yellow card signed.

It would be interesting to know if they are being used in the EU for their people.

I actually got my yellow card (which has my yellow fever vaccination) updated with the Covid shots. I also got the CDC card. Took both to Europe but wasn't asked to show these in the countries I visited (Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Kosovo, Greece, Albania)

I think Europeans are looking now for the CDC card.

In Germany, we all use the WHO booklets for all of our immunisations all of the time (we call it an Impfpass). Having a properly filled-out Impfpass (it is supposed to have the sticker from the vial of vaccine that you received as well as a stamp and signature from the Immunisation Centre) would be entirely functional vaccine documentation in Germany. However, I'm not sure if it is typical to give the stickers in other countries, and having an 'improperly' filled out entry (from a German perspective, at least) could raise questions or cause confusion. Not totally sure, though.

Here in the USA they don't give "stickers" its the signature of the person who administered the shot, the lot number, type, and a stamp from the health organization that administered it (usually). We also have electronic records, though I'm not sure that is accepted since it doesn't have a QR code usually.

jaeson1992, my (US) white card and most of those I looked at, have a sticker. A printed label with date, type, dose, and the name of the agency (health department or provider). No signature or stamp. As a volunteer, I handed out hundreds like this at a local mass vaccination event. My wife's is the same, but with the initials of the hospital she got it at instead of a signature. lts that inconsistency and potential confusion that creates uncertainty. As I've heard CDC reps say, it was never intended to be proof, just a personal record and "appointment reminder". So far it seems most countries are accommodating our failure to have a national system.

I thought the yellow card (also issued by CDC for decades) would have been a sure thing. But the people I worked with didn't even know what it was. My pharmacist said she would have filled it out if she had given the shots.

I have a yellow card to show my yellow fever vaccine status. I didn't even think about getting anything put on it for Covid. I was so thrilled to finally get the vaccination that I was happy with whatever record they gave out!

I would really like to see some sort of "official" national record for immunizations (all immunizations- not just Covid). I think it would be a great help.

Arrived at Frankfurt yesterday -- zero trouble going through immigration with the CDC card. I do not have a WHO yellowcard.

Carol now retired, I've had a yellow card for years. I have my provider add each vaccination - influenza, Hep A, Shingles, DPT, etc. You just have to ask them for it as they don't do it automatically. People think of it as a child's school document. I got mine through work.
