I had my first dose administered in late April 2021 -
The second dose was administered in mid May 2021 -
My third dose (first 'booster') was administered in late December 2021 -
My CDC Card shows a legit sticker for the first dose, and hand written annotation for the second and third doses....which I think it's a joke hand writing it on the card as anyone can do so - so what's the point of having a vaccination card ?
With that said - once I received my second dose, I insisted on the supervisor in charge (after getting the run around by the staff) that I wanted some other type of legitimate PROOF of official documentation because of government officials, especially Canada that will not accept some cheesy looking hand written CDC card as proof of vaccination either when I plan to enter their country in the future....
The supervisor fulfilled my request with a copy under my name and date of birth of both doses administered, with the date administered, each dose amount, the name manufacturer of each dose, lot numbers of each dose, and the expiration date of each dose....
This copy told me the CDC has a nice set up of a central database to keep track of COVID vaccinations on every individual - which I wondered earlier on how this Alaskan couple got caught by Canadian officials as they determined their CDC vaccination cards were fraudulent upon entering Canada on an in transit declaration to Alaska via road - as they were denied entry of course and currently barred from entering Canada again for a length of time (pretty much done).
After going to the supermarket one day - I seen they advertised free COVID booster shots in late December 2021, as I inquired at the pharmacy about it and the lady needed to see my ID to see if I was eligible for one (thinking she was only verifying proof of age) as she disappeared for three minutes and came back to the counter to state I was eligible with the timeframe and past COVID vaccination history....
So I asked if she has access to the CDC database and she stated so, which is how they verify on dose eligibility, as lucky me they had three cancellations that day and walked out with my third COVID dose within 10 minutes of looking into it thinking I had to make an appointment and ended up with a sore arm for four days....
I also requested a copy of proof that I had the third dose, as the pharmacist given me one showing I got the shot that day - and for me to come back anytime after 24 hours later and request another copy as it will show a fully updated history which I obtained roughly a month later after showing my ID again.
So for those of you that are like me keeping up with their expenditures, tracking, and documentations, etc. - I would request to obtain a documented copy of every COVID shot to also present to customs officials if needed in case their CDC database access glitches for whatever reasons.

AKsilvereagle, good advice. Nobody wants to be stopped because an 'i' is not dotted or a 't' is not crossed.
We are planning on over two months in Maritime Canada this summer. After months of gathering information for the trip we sure don't want any hiccups at the border that can be avoided.
Border authorities, US & Canadian, sometimes get confused with us as it is. We are neither US or Canadian citizens so often our British Overseas Territory passports (Bermuda) are the first that the officers have ever seen. Some don't like different from the norm.
This is why we like to have paperwork more than completely in order.
