The Marin County COVID-19 Status Update is three times per week and as needed to share important news and resources related to the COVID-19 pandemic and to keep the local economy running. We remain here for you.

Lost your Vaccination Card?  

If you’ve misplaced or damaged your physical COVID-19 vaccination card, there is a solution: Have a digital copy saved on your phone. Instead of carrying the actual card or taking a photo of it with your smartphone’s camera, the My Vaccine Record portal lets you download a digital version in the form of a QR code. It’s fast to access and, in places where proof of vaccination is required, much easier to read than a potentially blurry snapshot of the original card. Wherever you go, it verifies that your vaccination record is official, and state issued.  

The portal receives records from the California Immunization Registry (CAIR), and you can access your proof of vaccination in a secure manner. In order to access your records, some personal information is needed. All entered details remain confidential.   

Accessing your digital vaccine record requires little time. Upon entering the My Vaccine Record portal, simply enter the required information:  

• Your name  
• Date of birth  
• Mobile phone or email   

Afterward, create a 4-digit PIN. You will then receive a message with a link to either your phone or email, depending on which you opted to enter beforehand. Click the link, re-enter your PIN, then you’ll have access to the QR code that will serve as your proof of vaccination. By saving it in your phone’s camera roll, downloading it to your computer for a future transfer to your mobile device, or storing it in another app, it can be on hand whenever needed.   

Whenever proof of vaccination is requested, simply present the QR code to be scanned. The code doesn’t require a QR reader.    

California residents who face issues accessing their vaccination records are advised to contact their local provider or may troubleshoot here. 

Vaccination Opportunities in Marin 

If you know someone who is still in need of a primary vaccination dose or booster shot, please share the list below with them! While Marin County remains one of the most highly vaccinated within the state and the nation, many eligible residents have yet to receive their booster shot. Staying up to date on our vaccines is just as important as receiving an initial series.     

Bolstering our immunity against COVID-19 is of utmost importance, especially with the continued presence of coronavirus, including the Omicron variant, in our community. Fortunately, we have access to vaccines which are a FREE and effective resource for keeping us protected.      

Upcoming vaccination clinics this week with open appointments:     

• Margaret Todd Senior Center   
  (In Hill Community Room)   
  Novato – May 4 

• San Geronimo Commons 
  (In Front of Clubhouse) 
  San Geronimo – May 5 

• Marin Community Clinics   
  (In the Breezeway)   
  San Rafael – May 5 

• Kerner Clinic   
  San Rafael – May 7 

• Canal Alliance 
  San Rafael – May 7 

Walk-ups are welcome at most vaccination providers across the county. Visit the Vaccine Finder webpage to view available clinics and schedule an appointment. Remember, vaccine recipients between the ages of 5 to 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to receive a vaccination.    

If you are unable to find a COVID-19 vaccination clinic open at a time that works with your schedule, more options are available by visiting California Department of Public Health’s MyTurn COVID and flu vaccination scheduling website.  

We are grateful to everyone in our community who has done their part by getting fully vaccinated and boosted when eligible.
