Vaccination records are the medical document most likely to exist only on a small piece of card — and most likely to get lost in a move. When your child starts school in a new country and the admissions office asks for proof of vaccinations, "we had everything done, I'm sure of it" is not an acceptable answer.
In this episode, James and Claire cover the vaccination records problem that catches expat parents by surprise: why the same vaccine may not count in a new country if the timing doesn't match the local schedule, why the yellow fever certificate is a legal travel document you should treat like a passport, and what to do before an international move to make sure your child's vaccination history goes with them.
If you're moving with children this year, this one's worth a listen before the school enrolment forms arrive.
