Connecticut residents can now easily access their vaccine information digitally and store it on a smartphone thanks to a new record program by the state's Department of Public Health.
The Department of Public Health announced the program earlier this week, and it is now accessible
here.
Visitors will be asked to navigate to the
CT WiZ Public Portal where they will enter their patient information including first and last name, date of birth, and gender. Recipients of the record will be asked to verify their information either by cellphone or email.
Once access is granted, the recipients’ vaccination information will be displayed with an option to download a digital copy with a QR code.
Once the QR code is scanned, personal COVID-19 records can be stored on a cellphone for easy access.
Those who are unable to access their record electronically can
click here to request your record be mailed or faxed to you.
The system has been adopted by New York and California.
