She did note however that after using your card for travel, it will be verified and good for future travel to Hawaii.

I may have missed it, but I didn’t hear anything specific about wristbands in that press conference. Given how minimal it sounds like the card check will be (check dates of shots and confirm it matches ID), I don’t see any reason it couldn’t still be done as a pre-screen. But I guess we’ll find out soon!
