Vaccinating your child is one of the most important things you can do to protect their health.
It’s a best practice to document each vaccine your child receives and keep these records in a safe place. But if you don’t yet have your child’s vaccines documented, there are a few steps you can take to ensure they stay on track:
1️⃣ Contact the healthcare professionals who have previously given your child vaccines and ask if they have your child’s records on file.
2️⃣ Contact your state’s immunization registry and/or your child’s school and ask if they have your child’s records on file.
3️⃣ If you still can’t locate your child’s vaccination records, talk to a healthcare professional about the best next steps for keeping your child safe and healthy.
