You can get a vaccine passport from US Printing office then go to where you got your vaccines shots and they will enter info officially. It is a yellow booklet like in the old days. CDC and Homeland State Dept and US Gov approved. Accepted everywhere. Also check if your state issues a QR code for your phone. You can also use that.
