Given its importance, laminating your vaccination card to prevent any damage might seem like a good idea. But it isn't, experts say. Why? Because permanently encasing it in plastic prevents the addition of booster shot records to the card.
Vaccine card holders are a viable and popular alternative. Similar to a passport holder, they conveniently encase your vaccine card, and usually feature a clear, plastic window to display the card without needing to remove it. A bonus? Some of them are even stylish.
Below, vaccine card holders to suit a variety of tastes, ranging from simple, clear plastic protective coverings to more fun options.
