SMART® Health Cards Are Now Available For COVID-19 Vaccinations! |
With heightened travel restrictions, many of you have requested a SMART® Health Card showing proof of your COVID-19 vaccines. We are pleased to tell you that, if you received your vaccines and/or booster from Heritage Valley Health System, the information is now available on your smart phone!
How do I access my SMART® Health Card? First, make sure that you are using your phone's most updated operating system (iOS 15.1 for iPhones). Next, download the iHVHS (iPhone) or aHVHS (android) app on your phone. If you know your Care Card number, there are fewer steps. Your Care Card Number is listed as your Patient Number on your COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card.
- Click on iHVHS or aHVHS
- Click on “My Care Link” & you will see “HVHS Authentication”
- If you have a Care Link account, sign in with your email address.
-
If you do not have a Care Link account, click “Register.” The following message will appear: “To register your account we will need a few pieces of information. To simplify the process, please have your Care Card available. If you do not have a Care Card, or do not know your number, we will just need more information.”
- Click “Continue”
- “If you have a Care Card or know your Care Card Number, please enter it here and select Verify Care Card.”
- “If you do not have a Care Card or do not know your Care Card Number, please select Skip Care Card.”
Follow all prompts and, once you have created and verified a password, your SMART® Health Card will be in your “My Care Link.” Please note that only one SMART® Health Card is accessible per smart phone. In other words, you cannot access more than one person’s SMART® Health Card on your smart phone.
