Re: [113attendees] Can't use US site from EU (Re: US Vaccine Record (QR code for MASS residents))

["Jeffrey (Zhaohui) Zhang" <[e-mail]>]

Yes, I tried VPN - but it automatically goes to our EU site 😊

Anyway, my wife accessed the site from US and got me the QR code, so all set.

Someone said that I could just show up w/ my paper record (no QR code) w/o online check-in. I believe that should work but I wanted to iron on wrinkles if I could.

Another thing I need is a "Combined passenger disclosure and attestation to the USA" form. I filled and signed it on my phone but printed out a hard copy just in case because I don't seem to be able to submit it online. 7 pages!

Thanks!
Jeffrey

I've encountered occasional sites who have apparently decided that since essentially all their customers are US-based and a large portion of their attack traffic is from outside the US, they will drop all incoming traffic from outside the US and a few other countries. Makes them annoying to deal with while traveling.
