California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday called San Diego a leader in maximizing vaccination efforts after touring one of four local vaccination super sites distributing doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to thousands of people a day. Let me focus now on why I came here to San Diego, and that was to acknowledge leadership, demonstrable leadership, leadership that is now truly leading the state of California. San Diego [was] the first county, the first city to put a site together like this, Newsom said from inside downtown San Diego s Petco Park.
Across the street, in the stadium s Tailgate Park, thousands of people a day are receiving doses at San Diego County s first Vaccination Super Station. Newsom was joined by local leaders like San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, San Diego County Board of Supervisors Chair Nathan Fletcher and Public Health Officer Wilma Wooten who have been at the forefront of COVID-19 decision-making.

Hold on to that COVID vaccine card
Millions of adults who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 have little proof beyond the paper card they get when getting their first dose, reported the Wall Street Journal.
According to the WSJ, the United States currently has no central database to document vaccinations, and states only keep an incomplete patchwork of records.
Also, there’s no standard proof of COVID-19 vaccination like the yellow fever cards required for entry to many countries where that disease is prevalent.
As certain countries and businesses prepare to mandate digital proof of vaccination as a requirement for entry and travel, your paper card may be the only way to conduct business or access those countries.
