The vaccine record is a free digital version of the vaccine
cards issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), including the individual’s name, date of birth, date of
vaccination, vaccine manufacturer, vaccine lot number and location
where they received the immunization, so people no longer have to
worry about losing their paper copy. Walmart’s digital vaccine
record is available to those age 18+ who received their COVID-19
vaccine at a Walmart or Sam’s Club pharmacy or a Walmart-run
vaccine event.
Individuals can log into their Walmart or Sam’s Club account and
request the vaccine record as a QR code in a few simple steps. The
Walmart record is available now and Sam’s Club is expected to be
available next week. Launching in the future will be additional
functionality that will allow families to bundle their records and
access records for those under age 18.
“We are committed to giving people convenient, secure access to
their health data, starting with COVID-19 vaccine immunization
records. Our tool gives individuals a safe method to privately keep
track of this information on their smartphone or computer, while
also encouraging them to take ownership of their health data by
determining exactly where, when, or if they share their
documentation,” said Dr. Cheryl Pegus, EVP, Walmart Health &
Wellness.
Walmart uses the SMART Health Cards standard defined by the
Vaccination Credential Initiative, which means the digital vaccine
record can be safely and privately shared with other compatible
services if someone chooses, following all HIPAA privacy
guidelines. This includes Health Pass by CLEAR, a free, mobile
experience within the CLEAR app and the free CommonPass and
CommonHealth apps from The Common Project Foundation, a nonprofit
public trust that builds technology for public good.
