Vaccine Receipt Apple Health

Apple Health won’t accept my twins QR code Vaccination receipts as separate entries. I can upload one to Apple Health and Wallet and then when I go to add the other child it says the Data already exists (duplicate data).

Figured it out.


  1. Open Health
  2. Select Browse
  3. In search box enter the state where the vaccine record comes from. I'm in California so I start to type 'cali' and a record for the state health dept. shows up.
  4. Select that entry, then click on more time on details, then delete source and data button.
  5. Then re-snapshot the QR code you .gov record sent you. i.e. https://myvaccinerecord.cdph.ca.gov/
  6. It should add in fine, without the duplicate message and create the entry in wallet.


Good luck, and Apple you should really fix this. Got a new phone and it didn't transfer over my vaccine record to wallet, even though the entry was in my health app (although hidden in a weird place). Also the state COVID vaccine doesn't show up under my immunizations, so took me a while to figure out where it was saved. Overall, great feature, love the vaccine card on my phone, but this was a bit of work.
