An excellent point. I got my shots from my normal health provider organization (Kaiser Permanente) and my records are stored in their normal patient database (I would assume!) which is well established. But I have friends that also got their shots at Kaiser, but they are not normal Kaiser patients. They described quite a bit of rigmarole to get them registered as on-the-fly Kaiser patients so they could be databased. Time will tell if the Kaiser I.T. department got that rush job of database expansion, and training of employees to use it, completed successfully.
In the meantime, it would probably be wise to scan your vaccination card into your computer and securely store that digital version of it in a couple of places. It would be a real mess to have to sort through booster vaccinations, should those become necessary, using just people's personally retained records. But at least having an easily retrievable personal record is better than no record.
