Vaccine Information Statements
Under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, all health care providers are required to use Vaccine Information Statements to inform parents, guardians, legal representatives and adult patients about the benefits and risks of vaccines prior to vaccination. You can find a complete list of Vaccine Information Statements in many languages at Immunization Action Coalition.
Lifetime Health Records
The Lifetime Health Record can only be ordered by providers giving healthcare to children. To order the Lifetime Health Record, call the Health Department Call Center at (917) 438-9766. Parents who need to replace a lost record should contact their child's provider.
