My child doesn't have a passport or other ID. What can I use to certify age for covid vaccine?

| What type of ID were they accepting at the walk-in clinics? |

| Will they ask? I took DS to CVS and we were not asked for anything. If they don’t let you, go there. You can get same day appointments now. |

| We didn’t need anything. They did ask the kids their age and grade - there were about 8 there at the same time and all we’re asked. |

| At our VA vaccination site, nothing except the word of the parent. |

| At our site in MD, if no child ID, I think they asked parents to show their own. |

| I wasn’t asked to show anything but my own ID when my 15 year old was vaccinated. |

| Insurance card should have birthdate on it |

| They don’t ask. I wasn’t even required to show proof of my medical condition to get my shot early. I fully expected to be asked to show some kind of proof of my diagnosis. |

| Your child has a birth certificate. |

| But note if you get it early I suspect it will cause problems down the line…you may get back billed for it, and if you try to use it for travel, you may get pushback as to why it doesn’t match DOB on passport. My teen was pushing for me to break the rules before the 12-15 approval and I said no—in addition to being wrong, it will cause problems down the line. |

| I was wondering this. We have an international move planned for September, in peak Delta wave, and I'd feel better if my 11 year old son were vaccinated. He's on the waiting list of a clinical trial, but they haven't called yet, and we don't know what kind of vaccine or placebo he'd get anyway. I am tempted to walk up at a CVS, and hope for the best... |

| We were not asked for any ID. Just made the appt online and were asked for health insurance card info. That's it. |

| My 16-year-old went to a mass vax site and they checked her birth certificate twice. My 12-year-old went to CVS and they never looked at anything. |
