In addition to reminding you when it’s time for your second dose, vaccination cards are currently the most reliable way to prove that you have been vaccinated against COVID-19, reports Mary Meisenzahl of Business Insider.

The CDC also recommends taking a photo of the card in case it gets lost or damaged.
