The world has utterly lost its collective mind.
What's to prevent someone from using this to forge vaccine cards?
This is cool but the FAQ needs more information on how legit this is and who the company is.
Advice: Offer a discount for return customers since proof of booster shots will be needed.
LOL why not just ... carry a photo of your actual vaccination record on your phone?
I can make my own plastic ID card through various services online.
What are you bringing to the table that I couldn’t easily do myself?
Nah I’d want this from the government not a third party.
don't need more plastic
Hey HN!
My name is Sean, and I'm a fractional CTO / full-stack developer. This is a project I joined up with a couple months ago. I figured the HN community would appreciate seeing our lean MVP.
We're solving that simple, pesky problem of oversized CDC vaccine cards not fitting in wallets (and getting torn to shreds in doing so). The web app allows you to scan your vaccine card, and we'll ship you a credit-card size plastic VaxCard that fits much better.
I'm happy to answer any questions (especially around technical and security details). I love sharing new products with this community (for some brutal honesty ;))!
I'm astonished by the lack of security of these cards. In Europe we have a digital COVID certificate which consist of a QR Code, easily verifiable and unfalsifiable.
Anyone vaccinated can download a PDF version of this certificate with its social security number in France.
I understand better why US citizen have trouble to travel in Europe since there is actually no proof that one is really vaccinated.
