HSA to verify vaccines for digital records
(CNS): The Health Services Authority (HSA) has issued a list of phone numbers that it is asking those in the community who were vaccinated by the authority against COVID-19 to look out for. as public health staff made need to contact people to verify certain information. The HSA is in the process of merging the manual vaccination records with electronic medical records, so officials may need to contact the fully vaccinated to check that all the information collected at the time the shots were given is accurate.
Currently, 51,628 people have had at least one shot while 49578 or 70% of the population have had both doses.
Once this process is complete, those who received their COVID-19 vaccinations in the Cayman Islands will have secure, on-demand access to their digital vaccination certificates via the MyHSA Patient Portal. Everyone who has been vaccinated is encouraged to sign up for the Patient Portal in advance. Signing up takes only a few minutes and is available at any HSA location. Community registration is also available on select dates.
To register, a person must have a photo ID and a valid email address. Parents and guardians can also request access to health profiles for their children or wards under age 16. Online registration will be made available soon for people who may already be overseas.
The Health Services Authority (HSA) said it may call from one of the numbers below as it goes through the verification process:
- 244-2610
- 244-2617
- 244-2614
- 244-2700
- 244-2600
- 244-2779
- 244-2780
- 244-2783
- 244-2784
- 925-6908

I registered and now have the QR code, but when you scan it, it only brings up apple.com. Are these QR codes not activated but will be sometime in the future?
I have now got the QR code on my phone through the HSA app. I thought you could then upload the QR code to the Verifly app. I tried to do this but it was not accepted does anyone have any information on this?
Anyone know anything about the vaccine certificate that you apparently need, to travel? I emailed vaccinecertification@hsa.ky but received no response. Travelling in a weeks time and need it – so I’m told.
I called them to ask how to register and they had absolutely no clue. I was put onto four different people and none of them could answer the question. I started to think I’d called the wrong number!
you received it when you got your shot, just the card with the dates of your shot, you also need a negative pcr test
go the hospital to register
Who knew? 😟 Israel is now the world’s Covid hotspot: Cases soar despite country’s trail-blazing vaccine roll-out – sparking fears other highly-vaccinated countries will be hit by another wave due to jabs’ waning immunity
So HSA better find something else to do.
Or not. Once registered, if you have a booster shot, it’ll be easier to record.
Many cases because they are doing record testing with cheap test at home kits.
Vast majority of the cases are very mild with very light symptoms.
So no need to fear or go back into lockdown, we can open and handle the inevitable spread of mostly mild cases.
It’ll be 15 years before this system can even turn on let alone work.
You’ve seen the Drivers license plates we all had to change? yep not working.
Ironic, Worc’s portal is horrendous and doesnt work either.
CIMA’s SAR portal doesnt work…
See the trend….?
I can go on.
yep…our world class civil serice…..zzzzzzzz
Well, we live in a country that has never had a data breach or digital media infiltration by a 3rd party of any kind, so why not put it all electronically and let it rip!
Seriously, you do wonder with the push for vaccine passports and all the rest of it around the world if anyone in power has a memory longer than that of a goldfish? Do we really think dark web hackers and whoever else inclined are not going to bring the entire thing to its knees?!
But sure, on you go…
It’s not ID or a travel doc. It’s just an individualized gov’t issued QR that pairs to that ID that attests that you’re vaxed. There’s nothing valuable or transferable to steal. Quebec’s QR system is entirely self-reporting, based on the honor system, and only drills as far as first dose date. Yet, due to our sad reputation, most countries would seem more likely to accept the heavily flawed Quebec QR than Cayman’s. Giving QC’s to non-practicing lawyers probably doesn’t help.

This is great – I hope IT is extremely secure to avoid any data protection breaches. This would be my only concern. Much easier to have an App than carry paper documentation.
Will Travel Cayman let the US know what they will accept along with the CDC card when states do not have and will not be going digital?
Emailed TC and received no answer.
You have to contact HSA on this. Way outside TC’s area. Unfortunately there is so much paranoia about fake vaccine cards – much publicized, albeit much more designed for going to the pub in NY than to travel to one of the most expensive destinations in the world – that there is currently no flexibility in the law regarding the “securely verifiable” component. I know this because I have a ton of documentation supporting my own US administered vaccines and sent it to the HSA and was told no, sorry, we don’t have any discretion right now.
Well, if they will not accept the documentation and most US people only have the CDC card and no access to digital format (your biggest tourist base), what is governments plan?
My employer says I have to email my vaccine proof to one of their non HR clerical workers because of ‘policy’. There is no data protection, this person will know who has had and who hasn’t yet alone names date of birth vaccine type etc. How is this even allowed?
Who cares?
A of people obviously. How do you think the data protection act was born?
Can I not use my CarePay account?
Great move!
Now, find a way to verify those vaccines received off-island. For example, if along with a CDC card, a person can submit an additional form of proof such as emails from vaccine providers, screenshots of vaccine records from pharmacy app/website, etc. HSA could then generate a QR code and send by email for use on arrival in Cayman. Most vaccine providers in the US don’t do QR codes. If this is PACT’s chosen method, the vast majority will be ineligible…..including Caymanians (like me!) that were vaccinated in the US!
Anyone who thinks tens of thousands of names on sheets of paper from various clinic locations over 9 months will be located and verified is living a dream world.
My state’s health board said they have no plans to go digital, but can notarize immunization records.
Incompetence of the very highest level.
this should have been done months ago…
Years
Decades
Centuries
I’ll say thousands of years.
How far can we go back according to the bible?
We had 10 months to plan as vaccine was available in Jan 202q only
The microchips not working properly?
Muppet
I assumed the OP was posting tongue in cheek in the first place…
Yes, in fact, there aren’t even any microchips in there to begin with.
My cellphone coverage was much better after my vaccine.
I got 6G now.
