How To Get MD COVID-19 Vaccination Card Online

MARYLAND — As the omicron variant of COVID-19 continues to drive up cases and the pandemic wears on, vaccines continue to be touted as the number one tool to fight back. And the longer the pandemic goes on, and the more widespread vaccine requirements become, the more residents might have need to show a vaccine card.

Individuals receive a card from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention when they get a shot. And while digital copies are accepted in some places, the original version — or the equivalent proof of vaccination — is required elsewhere.

People who lose their cards can request official proof of vaccination online.

The state uses a service called ImmuNet, which enables people to get their records through MyIR (My Immunization Record). This draws on records health care providers have reported to the system.

For records of vaccinations from the federal government or another state, residents should contact whoever administered the vaccinations.

Here are various health departments around the state and how they direct people to get COVID-19 vaccine cards:

• Anne Arundel County — Directs people to MyIR.
• Baltimore City — Call the health department at 410-545-3048.
• Baltimore County directs people to MyIR.
• Caroline County does not give guidance.
• Carroll County VaccineCheck provides records.
• Cecil County VaccineCheck provides records.
• Dorchester County — Directs people to MyIR.
• Frederick County Health Department — Refers people to MyIR.
• Garrett County does not give guidance.
• Harford County VaccineCheck provides records.
• Howard County — Directs people to MyIR.
• Montgomery County — Refers people to MyIR.
• Prince George's County — In person and online, cards are offered through the health department.
• St. Mary's County VaccineCheck provides records.
• Talbot County VaccineCheck provides records.
• Washington County does not give guidance.
• Wicomico County does not give guidance.
• Worcester County does not give guidance.

Maryland does not mandate vaccination, though some places are requiring proof of vaccination before entering — Merriweather Post Pavilion, 9:30 Club and the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra, to name a few.

In D.C., people must show proof of vaccination in gyms and restaurants starting Jan. 15.
