State Dept has the details.
"That proof of vaccination should be a paper or digital record issued by an official source and should include the traveler’s name and date of birth, as well as the vaccine product and date(s) of administration for all doses the traveler received."
- In addition to verifying proof of a pre-departure negative test result – which they have done since January 2021 – airlines will now also verify vaccination status.
- Passengers will need to show their vaccination status, either via a paper record, a photo of their paper record, or a digital app.
- The airlines will need to:
o Match the name and date of birth to confirm the passenger is the same person reflected on the proof of vaccination;
o Determine that the record was issued by an official source (e.g., public health agency, government agency) in the country where the vaccine was given;
o Review the essential information for determining if the passenger meets CDC's definition for fully vaccinated such as vaccine product, number of vaccine doses received, date(s) of administration, site (e.g., vaccination clinic, healthcare facility) of vaccination.
