Having spent MANY years as a public health nurse I thank Qorax for emphasizing this point. When you get the form filled out, please make sure the dates are easy to read and that the Month/Day or Day/Month is correct. For example, (1/11/2010) is hard to figure out whether it was January 11 or November 1, as the world does not have a consistent format for writing dates. Nurses spend hours working out and entering dates on computer from these forms when children start school. In some cases, if measles immunizations are given before one year of age, they are repeated, so knowing with accuracy the date it was given may save your child an extra jab. Make one or two extra copies (again make sure they are easy to read) to keep for your records. Perhaps leave a copy with a good friend or family member in the event it gets lost in the move, and save a scan on your computer. If you are coming to Canada between October and April, it is wise to get a flu shot so you can avoid all those bugs in transit.
Without dates, your child may be required to have the immunizations repeated. Further down the road, some universities will not even accept grown "children" into their programmes without evidence of full immunization status. Make sure your forms are easy to read and haven't been recopied so many times the writing is faint. Keep a copy in a safe place, just in case things are lost during your move. Good luck!
