Tourist demonstrating vaccination status
Will be visiting San Francisco next week.
Whats the easiest way of showing my (fully boosted) vaccination status?
Will places be happy with me showing my NHS QR code via Apple Wallet or will they prefer somethig on paper?
There doesn't appear to be a SF or CA app to do this like there in in say NY (where I was in January)

A digital or printed copy of your NHS Covid Pass works fine, as long as it shows your name and vaccine doses. Few if any venues use QR code scanners, and if they did, a code issued in NY would work in CA as well since the same underlying platform (Smart Health) is used across the US.

I'll bump this thread up a year later to ask if anyone has been asked to see their vaccination card lately. I ask this question only for practical reasons. I can't recall being asked for mine in the last year, and I'm thinking of moving it from my wallet to my storage place for important documents.

I haven’t been asked about vax since 2022. I go to a lot of public indoor businesses like eateries, groceries, shops, airplanes, and other public indoor spaces.

I have not personally been asked this year but I have walked past a (very) few restaurants that at least had the sign for vaccination checks still in their windows.
