Everyone gets a CDC vax card after being vaccinated but most are hand written and have little identifying info other than patient name and DOB. Is there a central database that can confirm the legitimacy of a CDC vax card?

It’s in the VAMS system allegedly..but I doubt a lot of healthcare providers were actually reporting to it
Here in Greece there's definitely a database. After you get your second shot, you log in to the website, enter your credentials and download your "certificate of vaccination".
In theory, this has to be presented whenever you enter an eating establishment so they can put you on the correct side of the divide. (It only started today so I haven't seen it in operation, yet.) It'll be interesting to see what they do with my wife and me. She got the shots - I didn't!
But I've Photoshopped a cert for myself with fake numbers and QR code. It'll be fine as long as I don't show it to anyone with access to the database. ;-)
How do you get a fake QR code? Does it work when you scan it or is it just for looks?
I read that you need to give name, SSN and health insurance information when you get the vax. If that's true, then it seems they could have created a database along the way. BUT, you would have to ask someone who got the vax if that is true.
I haven’t had the vax but my son is a pharmacist. When they give the jab they take the persons insurance info. The insurance co gets billed for the shot. They then send a bill to the government for reimbursement. That’s how the data is collected. I don’t know how it’s documented for those without insurance.
but.... but...... but... isn't the jab "free"??????
