Good idea to review this early to avoid frustration later when you are denied entry because of improper documentation.  Photos of your vaccine card must include pictures of the FRONT and BACK.

Gonna have to schedule my test for when we arrive in CA. Anyone got some good testing sites that will be accepted at the Con?

Where are you going to be staying? It would make sense to get the testing done asap when you land in CA

SDCC 2022 PROOF OF VACCINATION POLICY/COVID TESTING POLICY

For those who are not yet vaccinated and still plan to come, keep in mind you need to have completed the vaccine series 14 days prior to start of SDCC.  So last dose of the series should be obtained by 7/14/22(Moderna and Pfizer are both 2 dose series requiring either 3 to 4 weeks between doses, J&J one dose). If going the  “no shot,  testing route”,   CVS Pharmacy offers both PCR and antigen tests(PCR can take 24-72  hrs to get back, antigen usually same day).   I don’t think the CVS pharmacies  near the convention center have “Minute Clinics”  which I think is where the tests are run.  I’m sure a Google search could help identify other  testing sites. Would probably not count on just walking in to get a test though, better schedule it ahead of time. Choosing to not get vaccinated prior to the event means you run the risk of not being able to attend because of a positive test.

Here is the county testing sites. I am not sure if they accept folks who aren't from SD County!

I wonder if they will accept test results that are self administered while someone monitors through video call.

Reading that info, they also want a picture of the back of the card.  Aside from the default text, the back of my card has no info written in it.  I wonder why they want the back as well.

Maybe an attempt to weed out fake cards that may not have the correct text on the back?

This has been a requirement since Comic Con Special Edition. They want to see both sides of the vaccine with your ID or show them the digital proof from your smartphone’s wallet with your ID.

Some of the vax cards I've seen have hand-written script, while some have stickers.  I've seen some where the nurse or whomever wrote big and needed the back for even the 2nd dose.

I can confirm that both WonderCon and SDCC SE the staffers did check both sides of the card, even though my back is also blank currently (though when I get a 4th dose the back will be utilized)

Mine is like this... I actually have a second card for the booster b/c the first two shots were written way too big. :(

But I just use the QR code from the State of Ca most of the time.

Unfortunately, southern states like TN don’t offer QR code vaccine records

We are arriving Tuesday but staying with some friends up in Pendleton that night. Staying at the Westin (non gaslamp) for the Con

Most places don’t. I came to SD for a concert with some girlfriends in Feb. and they would not accept an at home test.

How crazy is it that I have been on here for years and didn't know that?  Excited to use this new trick!

without needing to get the details of why it is

It is possible to be in a Schrodinger's Cat state and be both negative, due to a rapid test and positive, due to a long test.

IOW, if you're getting over covid & attending a convention that requires a test result, the test that will show you true communicative status is the rapid test.
