yes!
no shoeboxes for me!
that's good to know. I wondered because I can remember being given little cards listing the shots I'd been administered at various points. It kind-of makes me feel old to think about it in terms of us being the few years that dealt with the transition from paper to computer records. haha!

If you have a record of getting that particular shot, then the immunization people have it on file. When I went to get my shot book updated, they printed it all off of a computer and gave me my adult immunization card filled out for my records.

this is all so clinical, but I was wondering, does the Alberta government actually have a record of all our immunizations, or am I going to have to sift through my mother's shoeboxes full of records to find all my information?
p.s. I still don't remember the HepB vaccination. I remember getting the Menningitis vaccination though...
p.p.s. and apparently I HAD the measels when I was little, so it makes me wonder about the efficacy of the shot I was given... but I want to check into that too.
