How to show proof of vaccination in San Francisco or anywhere in California

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The state of California keeps a record of your coronavirus vaccination - that's how they know how many people have gotten their shots statewide. You can check your personal vaccine record by going to the California Digital COVID-19 Vaccine Record on your mobile phone or computer.

Here's a step-by-step guide on what you need to do:

• Enter your first name, your last name, and your date of birth


• You will then need to provide a cell phone number or email.


• Create a 4-digit PIN to access your vaccine record.


• Verify your identity by checking the box and click the "submit" button.

You will then get a text or email with a link to your vaccine record.

Click on the link and enter that PIN you just created.

This will give you your vaccine record with a QR code.

This QR can now be scanned by local businesses that can verify it is your official record.

If your record is correct, you can take a screengrab of this record and keep it on your phone for future use.

If your record is incorrect or incomplete, click on the "Virtual Assistant," answer a couple of questions and upload a photo of the vaccine card you received when you got your shots.

It can take several weeks to update a record, so you may need to show both your paper vaccine card and your digital record as proof.
