Names on vaccination cards

[RDDAILY]

Hello fellow cruisers!  We are so excited about our upcoming cruise on Symphony.   My husband, myself and our two boys all have our vaccination cards.  But, the cards only have our first and last name, not the middle name (passports and sail passes have middle names).  Does it have to match the boarding documents exactly?  Thanks!

My middle name isn't on my card and no one said anything to me when I checked in to board the Indy last Sept.

You won't have any issues.

They are not used as ID, such as your passport, etc., and only to verify your vaccine record.  First and last name to match who you are is all that matters, along with the proper vaccinations and timing.

She should bring her marriage license with her.  That will show that she was married since she was vaccinated and acts a bridge document.

I also got married and changed my name after vaccination. Yes she should bring her marriage license. (I needed to show the marriage license to fly to Italy last year and they accepted it)

Also, when I got my booster I was able to get my name changed on the card. They put a sticker over my maiden name. Hopefully that doesn't cause any issues... But I also have access to a digital record of my vaccine with my married name. Try and see if your daughter can get a digital copy or printout from the clinic or health department.

No.  Middle names won’t matter.
