Here they are linked to my medical record with my primary care Doctor. Have you checked that? Kind of important information not to be a part of your permanent medical record.
Many folks in the US were vaccinated at large state/county-run or pharmacy-run clinics. Completely unattached from PCPs or regular medical records. The only reason mine is listed with my PCP is because I shared the card with my doctor's office and they copied the info; DH's aren't listed with his PCP. I would venture to say that probably at least half of US people don't have their covid vaccines in their medical records. Supposedly one might be able to get the info from the state health department... but I wouldn't count on that being an easy task. The US doesn't have a national healthcare ID like some countries so it's extremely hard to match up.
It's for both. Any cruiseline in Australia needs to adhere to these conditions.
it was looked at in March but the States decided to keep things as is, so it's not updated as such, but still in effect.
Interesting. I was got 3 covid shots from a healthcare system than my own, and 2 covid from CVS. After each vaccine I got a message on my healthcare system's website (My Chart by Epic) that an outside system had reported a medical record on me and linked it to my record. My Doctor's office has used this system for about 10 years and this is the way my flu shots are entered in my record, because until I retired, my employer hired a private company not affiliated with my health provider to administer flu shots. My Shingles, and DPT shots are also added to my record that way.
I suspect there is a record somewhere since the place you got your covid vaccine billed the Canadian government for it and I suspect that bill had your name with it for your vaccine.
it's just cruising - they have had the same rules since cruising returned (but cruising hasn't been back as long as the US I believe so they are still anti risk).
All health care services are funded/provided through the provincial governments. As @Starwind points out, that would be where the records are kept. Just for the record, the Feds don’t specifically fund healthcare - they transfer funds to each province, who then fund everything that is within provincial jurisdiction (health care, education, transportation, policing, etc.) at their own discretion. That’s why no two provinces have exactly the same provision as any other.
Good to know, if ever needed. Thanks!
He hasn’t even had a consistent primary care provider, since they keep moving, retiring, or dying. My primary care doc is my OBGYN, but I won’t be going to her forever. It’s so haphazard in the US that it’s a joke.
Glad you will be able to recover your covid vaccination records.
These rules have been in place since cruising returned to Australia. We have a serious Covid outbeak with a cruise ship at the beginning of the pandemic so they've continued to keep some restrictions in place. We're also currently in our winter so our country currently has high case numbers of Covid right now. Restrictions could change by October.
Everything in the document above your post. It's the current rules for cruising at the moment.
It doesn't have to be. I received my first three shots from the same nurse at the same vaccine clinic. By the time of the second boosters, that large, purpose-made clinic was closed and a new, smaller one had opened at the local hospital. They wrote the information for the fourth shot on the same card as the first three. All of that information was transmitted to my doctor and to the state records so that I can retrieve it as needed. I've had three primary care doctors in the last 30 years. I left the first one when I moved about 80 miles away, the second retired, and the third is still my doctor.I wouldn’t bet that US health records necessarily have your vax info. It’s up to the states, and individual states allow it or don’t. I’m sure that trailer that showed up to my husband’s office sent paperwork somewhere
You don't need to look any further than norovirus for an idea of how covid and cruising will be an issue. Norovirus was huge when I cruised on the Magic in 2003, and now ships 20 years later are fighting outbreaks. So we need to be prepared for that to be the case with covid to.
In the state we live in, if you Google Covid records and our state, there are 3 ways to find it. Even the mobile vaccination clinics were supposed to provide some sort of record to the state--as that's where they got the vaccine to give.I wouldn’t bet that US health records necessarily have your vax info.
