Summarize the following:
Immunization tracking cards keep all your immunization information in one place, so you never have to hunt for your records again. You can typically get a card at your local health department. The CDC has a tracking card for childhood immunizations available online. Download the form at https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/downloads/milestones-tracker.pdf. Record the type of immunization you received and the date you received it on your record card. You may also want to include the name and contact information for the healthcare provider that administered the immunization, in case anyone needs to verify. If your record card is lost or destroyed, a backup keeps you from having to duplicate the effort of hunting for your immunization records again. Keep your backup in a different place than you keep the original. If you don't already have a fire safe or lockbox for important documents, it's a good idea to get one. Keep your passport, birth certificate, and other such documents that cannot be easily replaced. You can keep a copy of your immunization records there too. You may also want to scan your immunization record and keep a backup copy of it on your computer or on the cloud. Additional documentation, such as medical records or receipts, can help validate the information you report on your immunization record card. These documents can be helpful if a doctor becomes unreachable. If you got any blood tests to determine your immunity to various diseases, attach a copy of the lab report to your immunization card. If your healthcare provider indicates you're due for an immunization, you can add it to your record card immediately so your card stays up to date and accurate. You might also ask a doctor or nurse to sign or initial the entry to verify that you received the immunization.
Get an immunization tracker to record immunizations. Make at least one backup of your record card. Include supporting documentation of entries on your card. Bring your record card to all medical appointments.
