Vax Proof Uploading - Part 2 (mystery somewhat resolved)

In an earlier post this week, yours truly reported that he had had a problem in uploading updated proof of full vaccination.* When the uploading app was first created, there had also been a problem, in that case related to the size of the file. Typically, folks will upload a cellphone photo of their vaccination card, but the standard file size of such photos exceeded the limit in the app. I am now told that the file size problem no longer exists - so that was not the problem I had most recently.

What was the problem? Apparently, the system is set up so that once you have convinced UCLA you are fully vaccinated (2 shots of either Pfizer or Moderna; one shot of Johnson & Johnson), you can't update the record with information on subsequent booster shots. In other words, as the definition of what it means to be fully vaccinated changes, the current version of the system doesn't seem to adapt. The IT people seem to be puzzled, however, about the error message that attempting to update produced.

Presumably, that issue will have to be resolved if the vaccine mandate continues. There may yet be more boosters needed in the future as resistance to the coronavirus recedes from prior inoculations.
