VaxYes allows users to add COVID-19 vaccination cards to Apple Wallet credentials

This could come in handy.

The first vaccination wallet apps have begun to arrive for iOS devices, and where people have typically been scanning a photo of their COVID-19 credentials into their Photos database or Apple Notes, a new service called VaxYes from gogetdoc allows you to add it to Apple Wallet for greater convenience.

Users will have to give them a picture of your vaccine card as well as a photo of your ID. The company uses AES-256 encryption (referred to as “military grade”) and is fully compliant with HIPAA. Gogetdoc has HIPAA-trained quality control agents and medical staff to ensure appropriate details are collected for verification of the record before issuing a digital vaccine card. Tap on “Get a Free Vaccine Passport” and follow the onscreen instructions.

The process to get your file to the Wallet passport is said to take about 60 seconds, and is said to be speedy and convenient.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
