Philadelphia’s vaccine mandate for indoor dining ended Feb. 16 after a steep drop in COVID-19 cases and pressure from businesses. A new set of benchmarks was instituted to evaluate safety.

Despite the end of the mandate, some restaurants have chosen to still require proof of vaccination, which would make mask-wearing optional indoors. Many of these restaurants had required proof before January, when the city instituted the mandate.

Vaccine card dos and don'ts

DO:

  • Keep it somewhere safe, as you would for any important document.
  • Take a photo of your card, both the front and back, with your phone.
  • Get a replacement if you lose it. Contact the provider who vaccinated; they will have an electronic record and should be able to give you a duplicate copy.

DON'T

  • Laminate your card. You may have to get a booster shot, and so accessing the original card may be important.
  • Fake it. On Twitter, FBI Philadelphia warned that “if you make or buy a fake #COVID19 vaccination card, you endanger yourself & others — & you’re breaking the law. The FBI & our partners @HHSGov [U.S. Department of Health & Human Services] are advising the public to be aware of individuals selling, or pushing the creation of, fake vaccination cards.”
