The Excelsior Pass is New York State’s vaccine passport app. It verifies applications against the city and state vaccination records. In order to find a person’s vaccination record, it checks his or her name, date of birth, ZIP code and county of vaccination against the vaccine registry. If Excelsior can’t find your vaccination record, then you may want to use the city app if you don’t want to carry around your card. It allows people to show a photo of their vaccination card after the first dose of a two-dose vaccine, or other proof of vaccination they may have.
