I hope so.  That is all that is provided where we got ours.  My son lost his card but they said they are not allowed to give another card due to fraud, which i totally understand.  They said the best they could do was provide a copy of his shot record which does have the lot #s, date vaccines were administered, provider info & his info

So your son was originally given a card,and you were given a copy from their records?

Hmmmmm...... My daughter lost her original card and was able to get a duplicate at the Publix Pharmacy where she received the vaccine.  It was the same CDC card stock as the original and everything. 

 

I don't see any reason not to issue a replacement since it would only be of use to someone with the exact same name and birthday.

 

Her vaccine card is now in a plastic holder and stored safely in our safe along with all of our passports.

Yikes! I just discovered something about my vaccine card. It contains all necessary information, EXCEPT my date of birth! Will that be a game stopper?? Wife & I had our cards laminated 3 months ago, so I can't simply write in the DOB. Opinions please.

Opinion? DON'T laminate the cards. Get 3x4 zip lock badge holders.

 

Maybe you can get replacement cards? When boosters come along, they will need to write that somewhere. Maybe have your provider's number so they can verify, but I don't see it as a show changer.

[Joe817]

Thanks Blerk. You know what they say about hindsight. At the time, we would have never thought that booster shots might be needed. Lesson learned. Yes, we are getting all the phone numbers we can think of.

See if you can access an official document from your medical provider. If that doesn't work, I found a link to a story out of Texas how how to replace a lost vaccination doc:

Wow! I didn't even think of that! Thanks for taking the time to look it up! 

[Wanna_Cruize]

No problem, paying it forward.

Call Carnival and ask them.

Another good idea! Thanks!

I don't know how CCL would be able to call your healthcare provider re your vaccine status.  That is protected health information under HIPAA. They can not disclose that over the phone.  Even if you say you waive it, you can't do that over the phone.  You would have to have waived it in writing with the provider ahead of time.

Elaine, thanks for posting the obvious. I've read over that what you posted at least 20 times. So....what are you saying? I mean really? I don't think I'm missing anything here, but I'm not so proud as to say I've missed something.

Therefore, before the cruise he should go to the provider and add Carnival as an entity that can receive his records. And make sure they are aware that they might receive a phone call requesting the information.

You're welcome. I hope everything works out for you, and if this ends up helping let us all know after the cruise.

Such deficient information may also make me civilly liable for injuries or losses to persons on board the ship, ashore, or in the communities visited. In the event that false or misleading information is provided on this health declaration, absolutely no refund, Future Cruise Credit nor compensation of any form will be offered in any circumstance.

They said because there is so much fraud with cards they were not allowed to reissue. I think it was a management decision. I told then the website said they would reissue a card. But they said no best they could do is provide his shot record, which is about 6 pages for only 1 vaccine 🤦‍♀️

That's a very good idea. However, if he just went to one of these drive through vaccination sites, where does he go to do that? I don't have an answer.  Although, I don't know who he would be able to call either...

 

We got ours at Brookshire Brothers.  I guess I will be looking into this.
