JUNE 15TH FULL REOPENING DETAILS
Today the California Governor's Office announced new details on the "full reopening" that starts June 15, 2021. There will be no capacity restrictions or physical distancing requirements. California Department of Public Health mask rules must be followed. This means vaccinated individuals do not need to wear masks in most situations, even indoors. Travelers must follow CDD and state travel recommendations. Indoor 'mega events’ will require additional restrictions that can include proof of vaccination or recent negative covid-19 test. For details about the reopening plan, please click here.
The State will keep current masking guidance until June 15, and L.A. County will do the same. This means that LA County Department of Public Health’s guidance remains aligned with the local Health Officer Order of May 3 until further notice.
Workplaces remain under Cal/OSHA masking and distancing requirements, which have not yet been changed. And for unvaccinated people, masks are still required outdoors any time distancing cannot be maintained.

HOW TO OBTAIN A DIGITAL COPY OF YOUR VACCINE RECORD
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health partnered with Healthvana in December of 2020 to provide a digital copy of the vaccination record to individuals who are vaccinated at Department of Public Health locations, City of L.A. locations, select community clinics (that are not part of a hospital system), pharmacies, or FEMA sites in Los Angeles County.
If you received a vaccine at one of these locations, you should receive an email from vaccine@Healthvana.com and a text message from Healthvana with a secure link (most text messages will display as 37586). When you click the link in the email or text, you will be asked to enter your first name, last name, and date of birth to confirm your identity. You can then download your record and, if you have an iPhone, put it in your Apple wallet.
Due to the sheer volume of vaccination records being processed, there may be a delay in receiving your digital record from Healthvana. If you don't get the email or text within one month of being vaccinated, visit the healthvana.com webpage and select “contact” in the menu to request your record. Please note that it is not currently possible to upload a self-reported vaccine record into Healthvana unless you already have a Healthvana record of your first dose (see below).
New feature to report 2nd doses for those with a Healthvana record:
Healthvana is offering a new feature that allows you to complete your digital vaccination record by uploading an image of your white CDC vaccination card as proof of your 2nd dose. To do this:
1. Log in to your Healthvana account at https://patient.healthvana.com
2. Navigate to the Vaccinations page
3. Click the “Add 2nd Dose” button
If you never finished setting up an account, you can do this by following the instructions to set a password here. More information is available on the Healthvana FAQs page. At this time, this feature is only available to those who received a Healthvana digital record of their 1st dose.
Please note, if you received your vaccine outside of the locations listed above and through another medical network, you might not have the ability to access the Healthvana system. All vaccinated individuals can obtain an official record of their COVID vaccinations from the California Immunization Registry (CAIR). Individuals can ask their primary provider to look up their CAIR records or contact CAIR directly.
There’s info at VaccinateLACounty.com describing this process:

These are among the Q&As on this site:
What can I do if I lose my white card?
If you did not get a white card, or you lost it, there are two ways to get a copy of your official record from the State's California Immunization Registry (CAIR).
Ask your primary care provider to look up your vaccination record in the California state immunization registry (CAIR) and give you a copy.
Request a copy of your vaccination record directly from the state immunization registry, CAIR. Please wait at least 2-3 weeks after you are vaccinated before making the request, and know that this request may take an additional 2-3 weeks given the high demand. Complete the online Authorization To Release Form. Have a scan or photo of a current official picture I.D. ready to upload. The form must be completed in a single session. You will receive a record by email. The record can only be requested online and can only be provided by email. For more information, visit cairweb.org.
Can I get a digital vaccination record?
The CDC white card or CAIR record is your official proof of your COVID vaccination. You may receive a digital record in addition to your white card as a convenience. Still, it may not be accepted at all places/companies as the official proof of vaccination.
Several different kinds of digital reminders and records are being used in L.A. County. The type depends on the record-keeping system used by the provider who administered the vaccine. Most systems require the person being vaccinated to give an email address and/or cell phone number when they make an appointment or get vaccinated. Ask your provider when you get your vaccine about a digital record.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (DPH) has partnered with Healthvana to provide a digital copy of the vaccination record to people who are vaccinated at Department of Public Health locations, select community clinics (that are not part of a hospital system), pharmacies, or FEMA sites in Los Angeles County. For more information on Healthvana and electronic records, see the DPH “After you get a vaccine” webpage.

VACCINE INFORMATION
This weekend at all the County-run vaccination sites, the Department of Health Services vaccination sites, and the City of L.A. vaccination sites, everyone 18 years and older coming to get their first vaccine will have a chance to enter the Los Angeles Lakers 2021-22 Season Ticket Vaccination Sweepstakes to win a pair (2) of season tickets for next season. For additional information, visit http://www.publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/Coronavirus/vaccine/sweepstakes.htm.
