Wait--if I'm already vaccinated, will I then only need to show the card and not deal with the PCR Test? Because that will make my flight from Istanbul a hell of a lot easier.

@northinsouth1 at the moment you need a PCR test, even if you vaccinated. Any other rule can be a future and you should check every week. Sometimes depends not only from a destination country, transit airports (for example AMS) or Airlines can have own rules.

Btw I have checked now and this rule still not valid.
It seems a false alarm, fake news.

I hear that vaccination card can be used to replace PCR requirement on land borders and there are a few such cases. However when/whether this exception is applied to passengers arriving from air is at the mercy of IATA database

Where did you hear this and which land border you mean, with China or Uzbekistan?
Land borders with Tajikistan and Kazakhstan are still closed. One week ago, I have gotten an info from the embassy, even on the land border you need PCR test.
In fact Kyrgyzstan Authority is planning to change entry rules, but they are not valid yet. There are lot of fake news…
