Is there an overall database for the covid vaccine? I know when I went to the VA for my second dose, I forgot my card, and they were able to look me up and find the record of my first dose. But, that could have just been a localized database. [Reply]

My understanding is it's really easy to look up. So easy that there are apps where you scan in your card and ID, and it can look it up in public health records to confirm, which makes the app be valid proof at a lot of venues around the country.
Given that the lawyer is insisting that Brown is vaccinated, it would be kind of weird if that statement is immediately disproved by county health records. [Reply]

My guess is it was localized. I couldn't imagine the government trying to work with all these places to integrate all these different systems that places use for patient's information, and then trying to centralize it. It obviously can be done, but it would probably take them a long time.
All those different systems like CPSI, Meditech, Cerner, Epic etc. are all different and would probably be a bitch to integrate. [Reply]

I don't think there is any overall database. I got mine on a military base, and the state of Hawaii doesn't have it in their database. [Reply]

Well, each person that gets a shot has to sign a "contract" type of form. Where their name is spelled and then signed. The person or entity then puts a sticker that has a batch number imprinted on it like a bar code. Those numbers are then put on your vaccination card. Those entities are required to keep those forms with that documentation for 10 years. According to the regulatory committee, these are supposed to be sent to your local health office and have your permanent file updated.
At the hospital where I work all the vendors that come there have to be vaccinated. We are required by CMS to not only obtain a copy of their vaccination card but to verify that they are not fakes in any way. Then HR keeps a copy of that information for CMS to review and verify. If this is not all done correctly they, CMS, will suspend pay until these people are removed from the accepted vendors list or the error is corrected. [Reply]

IDK, man, that sounds like some Book of Revelations type shit.
Kind of makes you wonder if sky cams will cover Armageddon like they are deployed during NFL games. If they do, seems like watching in 4K at home will be a better experience than attending the live event. [Reply]
