1. The need to verify a subsets of these cards. Anyone who uses a fake card needs to be expelled.

2. If the student comes down with Covid 19, ask them to go online to their state's registry

If the document was fake, the student can be prosecuted for forgery.

The DOJ said that misrepresenting the official seal of a U.S. agency, like the CDC logo on vaccine cards, could be a violation of federal law. Violators could face up to five years in prison or a $5,000 fine.

3. Sampling

I imagine they could sample the cards for further scrutiny. Pick out 100 cards and run them through a full analysis to give an idea of how many students are cheating. If you find it's a decent percentage threaten expulsion with an amnesty period to get vaccinated.

5. Delta don't care about no stinkin' cards.

You can go get a free shot that will save your life or you can pay for a fake card that will probably cost you much, much more in the long run.
