PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (WAGM) -Northern Light Health is offering new technology that allows patients to access their COVID Vaccination records digitally.

In order to be eligible for the digital cards, you have to be a Northern Light Health patient and have received your vaccines through Northern Light Health. It provides a Q-R code that when scanned, gives a patient’s name, birthday and vaccination status. Northern Light officials say the technology will make providing COVID-19 vaccination status for travel or other events much easier for patients.
