The current CDC "Covid 19 Vaccination Record Card" is a cheapo thing and easy to duplicate. But it would not be hard for CDC or social security to come up with something more elaborate: multi-color and with a hologram. And, really, that's all you need. Sure criminal bands could counterfeit these things, but it's not particularly likely. Why spend $100 for a fake vaccine card, when you can just go in and get vaccinated, and earn a freebie? I really don't think counterfeiting is likely to be a big issue. And for the border, they already have a giant database at their disposal, so not hard to do a crosscheck. We need to get this done before the start of ski season!

Personally, I would like to see it done before the end of the summer!
Another thing, even if 1% of the population bought counterfeit vaccination cards, that would hardly be a big deal. The vaccines are not 100% effective, so a few cheaters will not make any difference at all.
Beautiful....
That's why this country is going down the crapper.
Sure, Go get a fake card
When you're ready, you can have a Fake Vacc too

I would think Canada could set up a registry where you supply electronically your vaccination information. Not a right to go into Canada so your choice whether you choose to be placed on a secure registry for border crossing purposes.
The paper cards are super easy to forge and if 1% do, then they become somewhat worthless. Sort of like if 1% of folks purchasing alcohol are underage using fake ID

You did a western trip in 2018 or so where you traveled all around, right (took a hiatus from work)? If so you are familiar with the drives.

You may need to take a look at how crazy busy it was at Crystal and Stevens Pass this past winter with Ikon/Epic (Bachelor too). That demand was blamed in large part because the North boarder was closed.
My trip ain’t happening.

Trudeau’s Border Plan Seeks to Allow U.S. Travel by Mid-August
Justin Trudeau laid out a timeline for reopening Canada’s border to U.S. and overseas travelers after months of resisting calls for a clear plan from business groups and his political rivals.

So they're talk about opening up on August 21! That would be fantastic. I was just thinking about taking a vacation starting August 21!!!
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Thursday Canada could start allowing fully vaccinated Americans into Canada as of mid-August for non-essential travel and should be in a position to welcome fully vaccinated travelers from all countries by early September.

Canada has surpassed the United States in the percentage of people who are fully vaccinated. After months of slow, lagging vaccination rates amid a once chaotic vaccine rollout, Canada surpassed its southern neighbour on Sunday. According to CTV, 48.8 percent of Canadians are now fully vaccinated, compared to 48.1 percent of Americans.
Now they're definitely not letting us in

They're not letting in the unvaccinated anyway. So what difference does the vaccination number make?

Newspapers are saying the Canadian border should be open to Americans for non-essential travel on August 9. Fully vaccinated and a 72-hour negative covid test needed. Official announcement this afternoon.

Let's hope the rapidly increasing case count in the US doesn't freak the Canadians out and change their mind!

Still waiting to see if the US will reciprocate for the land border.

Of course with the overkill. Always with the overkill.
And bonus "illogical points" for allowing unvaccinated children to enter with vaccinated parents.

It didnt need to "age" at all, it was precisely true at the time.
