The small yet vital piece of documentation serves as the only physical proof many now have that they\u2019ve been vaccinated against the novel virus, and a growing industry of post-vax creators are rushing to supply the market with holders to protect the cards. Others are offering to laminate them or digitize them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a guide on what to know before you permanently cover your card in plastic, buy it a case or, unfortunately, have the bad luck of losing it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_I_laminate_my_vaccine_card\"><\/span><strong>Should I laminate my vaccine card?\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Office supplies behemoths Staples, Office Depot and Office Max have all offered to provide their lamination services for free in the name of permanently encasing vaccine cards in a thin layer of protective plastic. But is it a good idea to laminate your card?<\/p>\n<p>The Health Department has no official insight, but some warn that you may regret laminating your card in case a need arises to mark it with a booster shot, which is an extra dose of a vaccine after the initial dosage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany people are laminating, but there\u2019s also the possibility that there will be the need for booster shots,\u201d New York City Councilman and Health Department Committee chair Mark Levine <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/technology\/2021\/04\/covid-19-vaccine-card-laminate-save-copy.html\">told Slate<\/a>. \u201cAnd so, some people have recommended you hold off on laminating, in case you have to write a third date on there. In fact, Dr. [Anthony] Fauci has stated that it\u2019s possible that within six to 12 months, we might simply just ask people to get a third dose of Pfizer or Moderna as opposed to a booster shot, because that might suffice to manage the threat of the variants.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_can_I_buy_a_vaccine_card_protector\"><\/span><strong>Where can I buy a vaccine card protector?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For those looking for a more easily reversible form of protection than laminating, the internet has quickly become saturated with affordable cases for vaccine cards.
