Since the COVID-19 vaccine has been rolled out across the world there has been a unique issue, the size of the card. According to the Verge, the vaccine card is 4 by 3 inches, larger than the standard wallet photo size which is 2.5 by 3.5 inches. Emails obtained by the Verge show that the Central for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had previously discussed the vaccine card size and intended for it to be folded. However, most people are reluctant to fold their cards. This issue has left people puzzled about where to put their vaccine cards and seeking alternative ways to keep their information.
