When You Received Your Booster Shot, Did The Provider Update Your Original Vaccine Card?

Yesterday I wanted to make an appointment for my booster from Kaiser. That is my health provider and they gave me my first two Moderna vaccines, the second was scheduled right there on the day I received my first. Yesterday, they wanted to send me far away from my house to get the shot, although there are two clinics right near me. I decided not to jump through hoops with these people.

Late last night, I made an appointment with a Walgreens near my home. On the online application, they said the CDC only approves boosters of the same brand, guess they didn't get the memo, or haven't updated their site. Not an issue with me, I had Moderna and want a Moderna booster. My husband had the J&J and he wants a Moderna booster, so he'll have to go somewhere where he can do that.

This morning I received a confirmation email saying to bring a copy of my vaccination proof with me. I do carry a copy of my card in my wallet, but I want them to officially update my actual vaccine card with the booster info.

Did your booster provider physically update your original vaccine card?
 

I got my booster at a smiths grocery store. They required the original vaccination card that I got from the county and they updated it. They told me to take a picture of the card on my phone and put the original away as if lost they will not be replaced.

Have not done this yet, but I will.

Thanks Aneeda I don't do many things on my phone, but I will make a double sided copy of my vaccine card and continue to carry it in my wallet.
 

Feel a bit better, did take zinc and turmeric, which helped get my fever, back to normal.

Not sure why I had such a strong reaction to the third and almost nothing to the first two, I'm wondering if I had the virus before the vaccines and had immunity.

I had such a strong reaction to the third shot, in terms of symptoms, I thought the third shot gave me the virus. šŸ˜‚

Yes, when I got my booster shot they updated my original card with noting the booster, too.

I got my booster at a different pharmacy, so they gave me a separate card for the booster.

That's a bummer. so now you have two cards instead of only one, this is what I was afraid of. I went to Kaiser Permanente for my first two shots, and Walgreens pharmacy for the booster. They filled in the next line under my previous info, and there's still a line left for something else if needed.

Unfortunately, there was no room at the bottom of the card for another line.

Simple solution: Photocopy, or if you have scanner and printer use them to make an image of two as one, making sure info identifying you as recipient on each one shows. If go somewhere they are mandatory be sure to take originals too just in case you deal some anal retentative person who demands them. But i would think most places ol accept if you explain.
