Digital vaccine cards now available if you got your COVID-19 shot at Rite Aid

PITTSBURGH — Rite Aid is now offering digital COVID-19 vaccine cards to people who get their shots through the drugstore chain.

With the digital cards, people will be able to share their proof of vaccination from their cellphones.

In order to get a digital version of a vaccine card, people need to download the free CLEAR app, then verify their identity and securely link Rite Aid as their vaccine provider.

Here are the steps to take and how it works:

• Download and Enroll: Users download the free CLEAR app, tap the blue digital vaccine card tile, and then verify their identity by uploading an identifying document and snapping a quick selfie.
• Secure Linking: Users then tap the Rite Aid tile from CLEAR’s list of providers and take a photo of their SMART QR code after receiving an email or SMS notification with their unique link. Their proof of vaccination is then verified and a digital vaccine card is created.
• Digital Vaccine Card: Once their digital vaccine card is created, users can share their verified proof of vaccination anywhere and anytime they like. Additionally, the digital vaccine card automatically links to Health Pass to create a frictionless entry at participating Health Pass locations.

CLEAR’s Health Pass has been used by more than 130 organizations, including professional sports leagues, major venues and travel destinations.

Rite Aid said that with CLEAR, “COVID-19-related information, including vaccination info, is stored in a highly secure environment.”
