  7. You must stay home whenever you have reason to believe that you will put others at risk.

Proof of Vaccination (QR code)

The state of California maintains a record of each person’s COVID-19 vaccinations, which can be accessed by scanning a personalized QR code. We require that all chorus members give us access to that official record so we can confirm that they have been vaccinated. (A printed vaccination card isn’t sufficient, because we have no way to verify that it’s genuine.)

To see your personal vaccination record, go to https://myvaccinerecord.cdph.ca.gov/. You’ll be asked to enter your first and last name, your date of birth, and your email address or cell phone number. You’ll then need to create a 4-digit PIN, check a confirmation box, and click Submit. A few moments later, you’ll receive a link by email or text.

When you click the link and enter your PIN, you’ll arrive at a display of your vaccination information and a QR code. Please take a screenshot of the QR code and send it to vaccine@eastbayharmony.org. We ask that everyone do this in advance, so that we don’t have to take time to look up people’s vaccination records at the door.

If you’re not familiar with the process of taking screenshots, you can find detailed instructions here. Feel free to notify a board member if you run into any problems.
