With COVID vaccinations increasing by the day, many of us are breathing a (tentative) sigh of relief, holding out for a return to some semblance of "normal" when we can hang with our nearest and dearest safely face to face. Amidst the excitement, though, plenty of us are also trying to figure out where to safely stash those flimsy CDC COVID-19 vaccination record cards, should we need them for traveling or anything else. Worry not! There are lots and lots of nifty vaccine card protectors hitting the market, and you may want to consider investing in one to assuage fears of yours falling victim to rogue coffee spills, anxious pets, curious toddlers, or any combination thereof.

Although fairly simple in terms of function, these protectors are a worthwhile investment for the accident-prone among us. Amazon is stocked with literally hundreds of different kinds and they're all vaguely similar, but we went ahead and pulled out a few of the standouts that are sized specifically for the 4-inch by 3-inch cards, including a few multipacks and even some that come equipped with lanyards.
