COVID Vaccine Proof Can Now Be Added to iPhone's Apple Wallet. Here's How via NBC 6 South Florida

Another part of daily life these days, at least your iPhone can be useful in one more way. — Douglas

As Apple continues to expand the utility of its digital wallet, a new feature allows iPhone users easier access to their proof of vaccination.

The latest software update iOS 15.1 released Monday now supports adding “verifiable” COVID-19 vaccination information as a digital vaccine card directly in the Wallet app, making it more convenient to provide proof of inoculation status without carrying a physical card.
