Abstract:
:Perhaps the most significant link in achieving the nation's immunization objectives is the extent of parental knowledge. Admittedly, this is a weak link. The 1990 federal objectives calling for an official format using common guidelines for completion of immunizations, though well-conceived, has not been used exclusively by health care givers. The lack of accord has permitted the proliferation of many different immunization records that are not only confusing to parents, but also to health care providers at times. A standard national immunization record could be an essential element in strengthening the weak link of parental knowledge of immunizations and stressing the importance of preserving such a record for a lifetime.
