Vaccine Passport Holders Are Now a Thing, as People Gear Up for Travel Again
With more and more people across the country getting vaccinated, life as we knew it before-Covid (BC) is slowly returning to normal. One of the biggest trends expected to take place right now is travel, with a number of destinations and countries opening up to tourists again.
A number of these countries are requiring proof of vaccination in order to enter, leading to what some have dubbed “vaccine passports.” Similar to carrying around your passport and ID, you may be asked to keep your vaccination card on-hand, to show proof at border crossings or airports that you have received the Covid-19 vaccine.
Keep in mind, not all countries are requiring proof of vaccination. Some are requiring proof of a negative test, rather than proof of vaccination. Other countries still have a quarantine procedure in place, whether you’re vaccinated or not. Consult the CDC website for the latest requirements.
In addition to showing your vaccination card, keep in mind that airlines are still requiring masks for travel. We’ve rounded up a few of the best masks for flights and traveling here.
As for your vaccine passport, brands are starting to make dedicated carrying cases and sleeves just for your vaccine card. Similar to a business card holder or a passport holder, these vaccination card holders are an easy way to keep your Covid-19 vaccine ID card safe and secure (I.e. preventing it from crinkling, ripping or getting wet).
1. VIDA Vaccination Card Holder
Accessories brand VIDA makes some of our favorite face masks for travel, and now they’ve introduced a handsome vaccination card holder too. The holder measures 4 x 4.5 inches with enough room to slide in your vaccine passport and a couple cards too. It’s all made with an eco-friendly vegan leather with a clear face to protect your card while keeping it visible. A metal clip lets you attach the holder to your bag or keychain. Choose from five colors.
VIDA says 5% of profits from their vaccine card holder collection goes to Stop the Spread, an organization working to provide Covid relief to hard-hit neighborhoods across the country.
