“I don’t have an issue showing someone my vaccination card if I’m going to a concert, but I don’t feel like asking people to share that to attend our wedding,” says Katie McKalip, 31. Instead she and her fiancé are “strongly encouraging” guests to get vaccinated.

Ron Pollvogt of Houston has a business that makes color-coded wrist bands for event attendees to show others their vaccine status.

In Chesterfield County, Virginia, the chamber of commerce president asks meeting attendees to put color-coded dots on their name tags to signal vaccine status. “Not one person complained,” said chamber president Danielle Fitz-Hugh.
Denver physician Tashof Bernton is the creator of ImmunaBand, a $20 blue wrist band with a QR code that is linked to the wearer’s vaccination record.
“To truly give someone a sense of safety, you can’t really have something that’s on the honor system," he said. "It needs to be linked to a real credential.”
