How to Get Your Immunization Records in Wingspan Health
In the Immunizations section in your Wingspan Health account, you can gather, see, and maintain all of your immunization and vaccination records from each of the doctors you’ve been to.
In this blog post, we’ll go over the importance of keeping your vaccine records up to date, how you can initially add your vaccination records in your Wingspan Health account, how Wingspan Health updates your vaccination records, and how to manually upload any additional vaccinations.
Why should you have a vaccine record?
For Entry: Your immunization record may be required when you get certain jobs (ex. in 2021 many employers may require proof of vaccination for COVID-19), travel to another country, or register to a school, childcare, summer camp, or college
Seeing a New Doctor: When you see a new healthcare provider, they will ask you for your previous vaccinations for their records to help them ensure you receive the medical care that you need. Your previous doctor won’t automatically send it to them, you will have to contact them to get a copy of your vaccine records and then send to your new doctor (along with other parts of your medical record). See how you can get your medical records.
Avoiding Unnecessary Vaccination Shots: If your immunization record is lost or not available, you may have to get certain vaccination shots again that you may not be due for.
