Vaccination Record

[daisylynn 0]

The is what they sent us when we called for my husband's vac. record. There is no name of who administered the shot or anything 'official.' I think somoene else on here said this is the same thing they got and it was ok but I just want to make sure.

Will this pass for his vac. record? Will they ask to see more? We have another card from a more recent tetanus shot. But other than that, this is all we have.

Thanks!

That should be fine as it's on an official Ministry of Health form. He should bring that along with the updated tetanus record when he goes for his medical at the panel physician.

ETA: Hey, I find it interesting that they still had his records. Apparently mine were destroyed... but I'm younger than him. Hrm...

Should be OK. I have seen one's where nobody could figure out what name was signed so I don't think this is an issue. My immunization record has no phone number and a scribble for a name. Was it on yellow card stock or did they just give you a photocopy? BTW, who sent you this document? A doctor's office or public health or ???? The panel physician is the ultimate arbiter of whether this is acceptable or not, but I really can't see a hassle with this. Have you picked out the doctor who will do the physical? From what I've heard most immigration physicals are pretty lax. When Grandma got hers done in 1970 (Chuck Harnick's (remember him?) old man was the doctor) it was about the same. Some doctors are pretty lazy so they don't fill out all the sections completely. My parents' physician knew why they were getting the shots so he made sure that the form was filled out completely.

That is the one I used. I still had my original from when I was born. It's so paper thin!

all I had was this little pamphlet thing my mom had from when I got my vaccinations as a baby.. it didn't look very official... but when I phoned to set up my medical I asked the lady if that was ok to bring as proof and she said yes...

I ended up not showing it because all they asked for was the results from titer tests I had taken because me or my mom couldn't remember if I had the chicken pox and I didn't have any proof of getting the rubella shot (although I did remember getting it in junior high)

When I went for my medical (Dr. Seiden's), all I had was a letter from my doctor, bad photocopies of vaccination sheets from Women's College Hospital (she's a GP there) and titre test results. Looked pretty ghetto. Erm... as others have read about my non-invasive medical at Seiden's, she just asked if I had brought records and barely looked at my stuff and checked off that I had everything except for the ones that weren't age appropriate...

Seiden is trying to get you to think and act like an American by taking a relaxed attitude toward work. I understand the Ny Mets are his favourite squadron:)

Thanks everyone!

Misa-Yeah, the health unit woman was actually surprised they had his records too. She thought they wouldn't have them but when she checked they did.

IR5FORMUMSIE-It was the health unit that sent us the form. It wasn't on the yellow cardstock, just a plain white piece of paper. But it doesn't look like a photocopy either. It's not even the same layout as the yellow one, but it does have the Ministry of Health info on it. She said it wasn't an official form because it doesn't have the dr's signature or anything. That's one reason I was concerned about it. She said it was basically that they asked his mom which vaxes he's had, she told them and they marked it. So, I didn't know if that would pass or not. Of course, we won't mention that part of it to the dr. Oh, and we've decided on Seiden.

thetreble-Paper thin...I KNOW! This one is like that too!

liz-Hope all goes well Monday! Let us know how it goes.

Trust me, I am more than pleased that my medical was pretty much next to nothing as far as procedures and the "physical".

Daisylynn, did it even have a seal on it? Did the health unit tell you how you could get a copy of the official report? Mom knows best I guess but I always thought they check with the family doctor/pediatrician to verify. They do in Toronto I know that.

Misa, did Dr. Seiden do the physical or was it his assistant Dr. Nick Riviera? Why did he ask you to turn your head and cough? Did you get any treatment for your ongoing case of bonus eruptus?

Liz, please let us know all the gory details of your physical with the good doctor.

Actually I think it was Dr. Riviera because now I have a leg for an arm and an arm for a leg which makes life... interesting.

Those will be fine. I had my girls done up recently and there was no signature or anything on them....but it was on Saskatchewan Healthcare or something official like that. No questions asked. Those ones you have are just lovely...

Hi ya - Daisy - this is exactly what I got (we;ve PM'd about your husband an I living in the same city) I'm a couple years older, but that's the only difference. Mine also didn't have the Healthcard #, and yet my daughter's did.

Dr Seiden had no problems with it, I don't think you have anything to worry about. I had my doctor write a simple letter also stating:

- how long I had been his patient

- the current state of my health

- any current medications and the dosage (think he mentioned that I take the Pill)

Eh Voila!

CHEERS!
