I went to Office Depot because they are offering to laminate your COVID card free of charge. I'm told to make sure that they copy front and back and laminate that instead of your original card. The original card should be kept in a safe place for future vaccination entries should they be needed.

This from Medicare. The link below provided detailed information. After you get your COVID-19 vaccine, keep your vaccination card safe - scammers are using the COVID-19 pandemic to try to steal your personal information. Don't share a photo of your COVID-19 vaccination card online or on social media. Scammers can use content you post, like your date of birth, health care details, or other personal information to steal your identity.

Protect Yourself You should get a COVID-19 vaccination card at your first vaccine appointment. If you didn't, contact the provider site where you got vaccinated or your state health department to find out how to get a card. If someone contacts you to buy or sell a vaccination card, it's a scam. If you suspect COVID-19 health care fraud, report it online or call 800-HHS-TIPS (800-447-8477). TTY users can call 1-800-377-4950.
