Recently a few cases of COVID-19 were reported in Sun City and I was asked this question:
“I am fully vaccinated and played cards with friends on Sunday. On Monday one of the players tested positive for COVID - I paid money to see a show - Should I go?”
My reply was:
We are at a time when we must achieve balance and make decisions. According to the latest, March 30, 2022, CDC guidelines, a fully vaccinated person no longer must isolate after exposure but is advised to continue to wear a tightly fitting mask and test after 5 days.
Since the beginning of the pandemic the CDC guidelines have constantly changed. Deciding to go, or not, is a complicated question. Do you lose money and miss the show, or not?
We have much to learn. Please review the latest CDC guidelines and communicate your concerns, thoughts and comments.

What should I do if I need a replacement COVID-19 Proof of Vaccination Card?
ANSWER: All vaccination providers must report COVID-19 vaccinations to their state health department’s immunization information system. The CDC does not have individual information about COVID-19 vaccinations.
If you received your vaccine in Nevada you can obtain a copy of your immunization records from the Nevada WebIZ Public Access Portal. Visit https://izrecord.nv.gov
You will be asked the following questions:
First Name
Last Name
Date of Birth
Gender
How you want to receive the code to access your immunization record – the choices are text or email
Your mobile phone number (for a text code) or your email address (for an email code)
You then put in the code, and it takes you directly to the portal where you can print your card and/or download it.
I went through the process to see how it works, and it was quick and easy, and provided me the information needed if I am asked anywhere to provide my card.
