CDC Ends Covid-19 Vaccination Cards

October 05, 2023

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is phasing out its COVID-19 vaccination cards, according to an Oct. 4 update on the agency’s website.

Considered a controversial relic of the pandemic era, the white cards once determined who could and could not participate in society, such as by barring or allowing entry to businesses, schools, and workplaces, based on whether someone had received the COVID-19 jab or not.

Now, the CDC has stopped printing the cards because the federal government is no longer in charge of COVID-19 vaccine distribution. Since the height of pandemic restrictions in late 2020 and up to May 10, the federal government had sent out more than 980 million cards, according to the CDC.
