Please note HiHello no longer offers functionality for this feature
Counties in California, Louisiana, and New York are starting to require proof of vaccination to enjoy indoor establishments, like restaurants, bars, and gyms. This means that individuals need a way to save their COVID-19 vaccine record to their phones, and businesses need a way to scan vaccine QR codes.
With HiHello—a free mobile app that allows you to make, save, and share digital business cards—you can now easily add your vaccine QR code to your phone and save it for future use.
Why should I save my COVID-19 vaccine record to HiHello?

When you save your COVID-19 vaccine record to HiHello, it’s easily accessible and ready to be shared. There are multiple ways to share your digital vaccine card using HiHello, including the mobile app itself, a Home Screen widget, and even using an Apple Watch.
How do I get my digital vaccine record?
If you’ve received the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, or Johnson & Johnson vaccine and live in California, New York, or Louisiana, you can get digital proof of vaccination in the form of a QR code.
