With the recent outbreak of the measles which was thought to have been an “eliminated” virus in this country, people have began to realize how important getting vaccinations for serious viruses can be. When you or your child is vaccinated, it is recorded in vaccination records. These records are required for various different situations in life and will likely be required more frequently in the future. Typical situations where you might need these records include having to prove that you have been vaccinated against certain illnesses in order to travel abroad and having to show your children’s vaccination records in order to enroll them in school. By securing copies of you and your children’s vaccination records now, you can rest assured knowing that you have the records on hand when you need them.
Typically, vaccinations are given to patients in their infancy or childhood years. Because of this, many times when people realize that they need copies of these records, the records have been completely erased from the systems of the healthcare providers where they received the vaccinations. Some individuals will get lucky as their parents have kept their immunization records stored away safely, while most will not have such luck as their records are nowhere to be found. If you really need proof of the vaccinations and you simply cannot locate your records, you will be left in a tough position. Your only options will be to either get re-vaccinated or get blood work done to prove that you have been vaccinated.
It is much wiser to simply order your vaccination records while they are recent. Order Medical Records can help you gather your important records by contacting the healthcare facility that administered the vaccinations for you. Once we retrieve the records and quality control them to ensure that they are what you need, we can securely transfer them to you or send them to an authorized party on your behalf.
As parent, it is very important that you secure copies of your children’s vaccination records now and keep them in a safe place, as your children will likely need them at various points in their lives. One of the most common reasons children need their vaccination records is they are often required to register for school. Order Medical Records can retrieve these records, along with important medical records, for your children as well as for any family members that you may have custody of. If you don’t secure your children’s immunization records when they are young, you run the risk of not being able to obtain the records at all which can prevent your children from being able to enroll in school amongst other things.
If your immunization records are still in paper format, we can scan them into our system and create digital copies. We highly recommend that you keep both paper and electronic copies of your vaccination records, as this will help you prepare for the risks of either type of record being lost or damaged throughout the years. Electronic records provide various benefits over paper records, but if for some reason you do not have access to a computer, then having your paper records will provide you with the documentation you need.
Maybe your kids were born in a foreign country or maybe you received your vaccinations while away on an overseas assignment with the military. In either case, Order Medical Records can deliver you the records you are looking for. We regularly retrieve records from locations across the globe, and our expert translation staff will ensure that the content of your records is translated into English so that your doctors and healthcare providers will be able to understand them.
As the number of measles cases continues to rise, it is important to make sure that you have received the proper vaccinations. If you do not have copies of your vaccination or medical records, then you need to take action immediately so that you can obtain this information while it still exists. Order Medical Records are your data retrieval experts and we are here to help you in any way possible. Order now to ensure that you and your family are fully protected and prepared for any health care situation.
