Most Americans were vaccinated for a number of diseases as children, but experts said it can be impossible for adults to remember the shots they received decades ago, and in many cases, medical records can be hard to find.

Last week I dug out the vaccine booklets that amazingly both my mom and my mother-in-law saved from 55 years ago. It shows that my husband isn’t fully vaccinated against polio. Wonder how many others in our 50s are walking around assuming we’re totally fine?
You can also have titers drawn which is actually required prior to hire for many clinical jobs involving direct care of patients. Some adults may actually need a measles booster.
How mesmerizing is to think people in the USA are very much sure they're the crème de la crème of civilization hahahaha a country that doesn't even have vaccination cards! Not to talk about digital archives of its population vaccines, or vaccines for free. Pathetic, so pathetic.
I still have my WHO yellow card from 1960. It has all my vaccinations, including my first two COVID vaccines; I made them enter them on it. They couldn't believe I'd had it for 61 years (65 now).
Brazilians have vaccines registers since we are born, I am 42, still have mine, obviously nowadays our records of vaccines are on a app of the public health service, but also on paper.
I mean, here in Brazil we have those from at least 1973 and now those records are digitalized an accessible from a app, it is amazing how behind the US of A are from the rest of the world!
whaaat???? wait, are you saying that children with different ages took the same vaccines all together? "in a room" like inside your house? how many vaccines? im so confused
I speak from experience when I say, get the information asap because you never know when you might need it. I had to track mine down in order to volunteer in a NICU. Turns out, some pediatricians burn your records after 10 years. I was lucky to find most of what I needed.
too bad that paper was only invented after a number of internet users started wanting to print some of the stuff they were finding on the web, right America?🥺
*Unless your mother was a public health nurse for the US Department of Health. In that case you have a detailed, handwritten vaccination card that she saved until she deemed you responsible enough not to lose it.
Tony, a former VA employee and sole provider for his family, was suddenly fired. With two children who have disabilities, his livelihood is now at risk. Listen to his story and learn what happened.
We'll see children die who are forced to be born with no healthcare for the women forced to be mother's by predators like tRump and his vile administration!
Que país patético. Eu tenho carteirinha de vacinação física e pelo aplicativo, todas gratuitas pelo sus. É tb faço pix, não envio cheques pelo correio igual estadunidenses que ainda estão na idade da pedra
I can't believe you guys never thought about something as simple as a vaccination card, a simple piece of paper, where you could record all your shots.
"3rd world" is how you guys name the places your country explores and devastates to make your billionaire richer while you remain in worse condition than people living there
And then you name the devastation "freedom" so you can believe you are 1st something
my 6mo old niece has a vaccination card an online one plus she has taken all her vaccines in our public health system. she has a nurse and a pediatrician who check on her monthly to see if everything is ok
i don't think your infrastructure even compare to that of a so called third world country baby
Hey. Brazilian here. We have free universal healthcare, which includes *free* vaccines and medicines - like insulin, which costs $3 and is sold at the US for ~$100.
COVID vaccines are also free here, and we can check on an app which shots we took.
you know what other infrastructure we have? We declare our taxes through government provided software and have done so for years. Now we can do it online through, again, a government run secure website and most of it is automated.
Greetings from the 3rd world where we don't have a TurboTax lobby.
In Brazil, we have had vaccination cards for decades. This is mine. I'm sure other countries in Latin America and Africa have them too. In addition, the government has an online registry of vaccinated people and can issue certificates. So, I don't think the US problem is third world.
The very notion of a "3rd world country", and you thinking that is a valid way to characterize what the United Spoiled are is proof that this country failed from the start
SERIOUS!! TRUMP PURGES TOP MILITARY LEADERS TO GET CONTROL. Trump does his worst deeds on Fri. Tonight, Trump
fired the top US Gen just moments before Hegseth fired the Chief of the US Navy and the VC of the Air Force. Trump wants the military to be loyal to him, not the Constit IMPEACH the bastard!
In the mess you call country, isn't there a little thing called vaccination card?
Don't you have vaccination records that remain with the citizen and the Ministry of Health?
American tracking childhood vaccines: "Maybe we if we contact Nurse Johnson's son, she may have kept some records of her time in SomeGodForsakenTownInTheMiddleOfNowhere"

I will start having health officials document vaccinations in it again
🤓
Como que esse bando de otário se acham o país mais desenvolvido no mundo sendo essa piada?
I take everything I hear from them with a grain of salt and check in with credible sources.
And then you name the devastation "freedom" so you can believe you are 1st something
Fuck off.

COVID vaccines are also free here, and we can check on an app which shots we took.
Is this what you call "3rd world infrastructure"?
