How To Get NJ COVID-19 Vaccination Card Online

NEW JERSEY —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 Centers for Disease Control card 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.

For those who lose their card, the New Jersey Department of Health has an app called Docket that allows residents to access their vaccination record. Those who have their email or phone number on record with the Department of Health may access and download their COVID-19 vaccination card, and even access family members' records on a shared account.

The app is available in English and Spanish on the Apple App Store or Google Play. It is a CDC-approved application.

Frequently asked questions about the app are available here.
