Safety of taking a 2nd set of covid shots????

[groundloop]

My genius daughter has misplaced her Covid vaccination card, she thinks it probably got thrown out a couple of weeks ago. She got her shots at a Publix pharmacy so I told her to head over there and see about getting a replacement card, but in searching online it looks like they may not be able to issue a replacement.

She has something coming up in November which will require proof of vaccination. If she can't get a replacement card the only other thing I can think of is to take both shots all over again (or just get the single shot J&J), but that raises a HUGE red flag about safety. I haven't been able to find anything on that, I'm wondering if anyone else out there has seen anything.

1. Call or visit pharmacy with her & her ID

They should give you something to prove she received vaxes there & dates.

I would def not retake as we have no idea if that would be safe!

2. Pfizer is seeking approval for a 3rd shot at least, but who knows if that will be approved by Nov

The nurse who vaccinated me suggested that I take a photo of my card, not that that helps your daughter now.

3. Definitely start with Publix. In addition, many states have a computerized immunization registry

that is searchable through the Dept. of Health online(e.g., Colorado) or if not searchable, allows you to make an email inquiry to the program staff to check for you.

But, PublixPharmacy can definitely provide you proof of vaccines. Whoever said they couldn't is not informed. Under HIPAA they can't give the info to you, but to the patient? Absolutely.

5. I found something online that said Publix wasn't able to provide replacement cards......

but obviously my daughter needs to go to the Publix pharmacy where she got the vaccine as her first resort.

6. They can't refuse to give her documentation. That is their legal responsibility.

Whether or not they give her a new CDC card, they CAN and MUST print out her vaccine information.

Again, though, they are supposed to be reporting to the state health dept. registry. So, that is your alternative.

4. Contact your state health department

Your state health department has the record of her vaccination. There are procedures for this.

7. I think the pharmacy keeps a record of who received shots...

8. I had to fill out forms for both shots.

I suspect that the injection vial label gets affixed to the info. I assume it probably gets into some database.

I took a photo of mine, in case I lose the paper card.

9. Does she have health insurance?

Her insurance company will have records. They can’t replace her card but they can tell her the date of the vaccination, the manufacturer, and the amount they paid to the pharmacy.
