London, KY, USA / SAM 103.9 FM WWEL | Today's Pop Hits Apr 5, 2021 9:45 AM The number of Kentuckians who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 continues to rise every day, which has led to more questions about what to do with the card that you’re given by the provider. Some businesses like Staples and Office Depot have offered to laminate those cards for free. Infectious disease specialist Dr. Aaron Grubbs in Lexington says that’s not necessarily a bad idea, but you don’t want to laminate it before you’ve gotten your second dose if you were getting a vaccine that needs two doses. He said it’s possible there may need to be new entries on that card, like for booster vaccinations down the road. Grubbs says we don’t know the length of immunity yet. If that’s the case, you should be able to get a new card if you need one. As for whether you should carry your card with you, chances are you’ll know if you’re going to need to access that proof anytime soon, so storing it somewhere secure should be good enough. If you lose your card, Miller says the place where you were vaccinated should be able to replace it. You could also check with your local health department to access the Kentucky Immunization Registry.
