We re just used to having everything digital now, said Fielding-Miller. You can look up health records, your insurance status. You can get a copy of your birth certificate if you really need to. We re not used to hanging on to paper documents anymore.
There are several reasons why you do not need to laminate your COVID-19 vaccine card. Fielding-Miller says some of them are common sense. Keep your vaccine card with other important documents, said Fielding-Miller. With your birth certificate, social security card, your passport if you have one.
She also recommends making a photocopy of the card as soon as it s filled out. If you lose the card, contact the health provider or location you received the vaccine at. They keep records of who has been vaccinated and can recreate the card.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif.
Donovan Deaths
This is the first of a two-part investigation into how the prison system responded to the COVID-19 pandemic and what led to the deaths of 18 people at Donovan state prison in San Diego.
The crisis peaked four days before Christmas. San Diego’s only prison was teeming with COVID-19 infections. A fifth of the 3,500 people incarcerated were sick, and many were relocated to three large gymnasiums so staff could reach them quickly in an emergency.

UC San Diego has created a wastewater and surface coronavirus testing program designed specifically for schools in disadvantaged communities hard-hit by COVID.
The testing not only allows for faster results than traditional COVID testing, but UC San Diego researchers say it could be less costly and easier to implement in communities with families who may not want their children tested in schools, out of fear or a lack of trust.
For months, UC San Diego has had a wastewater testing program on its campus that detects shed pieces of the novel coronavirus in feces.
In November, the university started working with San Diego County to extend that program to some K-12 schools and child care centers, said Rebecca Fielding-Miller, assistant public health professor at UCSD who is leading the school testing program.
