When does the US they ask to see your CDC vaccine card, and do they verify it?

When traveling to the PH from the US, at what point do they ask to see your CDC vaccine card? And do they just glance it over or do they actually verify it?

I'm sure they look at it close enough to know if it belongs to someone else......😄

That doesn’t answer either one of my questions.

And?  If you have a real card, why does it matter when or how close they look at the vaccine proof ?   Your original questions seem a little odd to me.  I wish you good luck.  This immigration is a grueling process.  The pandemic has magnified the stress.

I personally have not traveled internationally during COVID times so I can't speak from experience about WHEN they check the vaccine card. During my USA domestic flights, we had to upload our vaccine cards AND government-issued ID to the destination state's travel website, as directed by the airline. When we landed, officials also took photos of our vaccine cards and ID's. 

 

There are stories of people traveling and using fake vaccine cards and then getting arrested in their destination state or country, FYI. One American couple thought they got away with their fake cards and were enjoying their vacation in Canada but the authorities caught up to them. Weird thing to ask about IMO because if you have a real vaccine card, there's nothing to worry about it. So the fact you're even asking this suggests...certain things.

I am also sure they have been provided samples of what it should look like....Maybe)))

They check it upon arrival at the airport, in which the coast guard/airport personnel will just take a quick glance at your vaccination card. Either digital vaccination (on your phone) or physical card will suffice.

Doesn't it also get checked before boarding a flight?

My wife is in the Philippines right now and this is what she told me the same thing.  They have the coast guard checking the cards and she said it is actually pretty organized and it goes quickly.

Ok thank you. And what do they make you do before flying out from the airport in US?

Yes. Quick glance at check-in before departure. Hope this helps

So they just glance at your vax card before departing the US, and then once more upon arrival in the PH, with no verification? Thank you for your help.

You have to sign up for one health pass three days before your flight. You upload a picture of your vaccine card and rt-pcr test along with filling out information. How they verify/if they do who knows

Does anyone know if the Philippines accepts Novavax as a valid vaccine to have for entry into the country?
