Does the CDC card work as proof of vaccination from the United States? The card doesn’t look as official as many other countries with a vaccination passport, etc.
Yeah I just came in-needed my booster for no quarantine. Shots 1 and 2 are in Japanese but they took the booster card from the cdc just fine.
I came into Japan last summer and had the vaccination card with me. No one asked to see it at immigration, and when I tried to offer it as proof of vaccination for this or that they said they didn’t care about it.
Could have changed in the last 9 months or so though so take that for what you will.

Yes. The CDC card is the US’s official vax record.
For entry. Yes.
Here’s the official description of valid vaccination proof for entry into Japan: https://www.mofa.go.jp/ca/fna/page24e_000317.html
