FWIW, I presented a paper print out of my state's immunization record which includes vaccine and dates administered instead of CDC card and that was fine at 3 out of 3 restaurants.
Used the print out instead of CDC card as I can fold it into my wallet, and also print out another copy if lost. CBSA was also ok with the print out instead of CDC card at the border.
