How do you get it in there? I wasn't given a QR code and I don't have a downloadable health record. I just have the vaccination paper card everyone has.
Without a QR code, all you can do is photograph your paper card and keep it in Photos. It’s possible your locality offers the ability to get that QR code (as, for example, California does).
This is not an Apple problem. It is up to the medical providers to offer the QR code. I was able to add my card to the Apple Wallet in about 2 minutes because my health provider offered the QR code.
If you have a beef, take it up with your medical provider.
I live in Pennsylvania. Last time I checked, that was in the USA. I was able to add my card easily. My provider offers the QR code. What don’t people understand about this. If your provider doesn’t offer the card, you can’t add the card to Apple Wallet.
We do not have socialized medical care in this country.

Apple’s notice could not be more clear.
From the article linked above:
Thanks, Sherman. Maryland doesn't. I don't think many states besides California do.
Your link says only six states offer a code. Maryland isn't one of them.
Then you’re out of options for now, other than Photos.
From the article linked above… maybe there are other ways to get that code.
It also discusses pharmacies and Epic providers.
Wasn't vaccinated at a pharmacy but rather at a mass vaccination clinic, and MyChart (Epic) is not used by my doctor, who uses My Privia online as the patient portal.
Apple needs to put an asterisk on the claim that the iPhone 13 wallet can be used for the vaccination card.
That’s there because that applies to most of the world. The Canadian and EU records go right in. America is just rather backwards, I’m afraid.
At this moment, as I said, my doctor doesn’t even know I have the booster shot. I will ask next week if he can add QR codes to shots the county health department gives. Thanks for your help.
