Current data suggest that all COVID-19 vaccines approved for use in the United States should work against these variants. For this reason, COVID-19 vaccines are an essential tool to protect people against new variants. * _I HAVE COMPLETED MY VACCINATION. DO I NEED TO KEEP MY VACCINATION CARD?_ Yes, your vaccination card tells you what COVID-19 vaccine you received, the date you received it, and where. You may need it for future reference or to show your vaccination status. No national organization maintains vaccination records. Some retailers are offering to laminate the cards at no cost. It’s a good idea to make a copy. Do not post a photograph of your vaccination card on social media, to protect against fraud.
