“…This aspect is controversial and may represent a limit to our study. In fact, a recent systematic review on the validity of vaccination card and parents' recall to estimate vaccination coverage [33] suggests that parents' recall information should be cautiously interpreted because it might be not reliable. This issue is not mentioned in WHO EPIcoverage survey guidelines [34].…”

“…Traditionally, vaccination data from cards is considered to be more reliable than recall, which frequently suffers from overreporting; in this study, we saw that reported timely birth dose coverage was significantly higher among those providing recalled data leading us to question the validity of the data. 31 However, anecdotal information from immunization supervisory visits suggests that cards are filled out incompletely at vaccination visits; thus card data might be underestimating the vaccination coverage in this population. Even with the lack of evidence of hepatitis B vaccination impact among card holders in this study, evidence from other studies has shown the significant impact of hepatitis B vaccination.…”

Abstract. Approximately 8% of the population in Papua New Guinea (PNG) has chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. To decrease the burden of chronic HBV infection, a national 3-dose infant hepatitis B vaccination program was implemented starting in 1989, with a birth dose (BD) added to the schedule in 1992. To assess the impact of the hepatitis B vaccination program, we conducted a serosurvey among children born after vaccine introduction. During 2012-2013, a cross-sectional stratified four-stage cluster survey was conducted to estimate hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) prevalence among children 4-6 years of age. We collected demographic data, vaccination history, and tested children for HBsAg. Of 2,133 participants, 2,130 children had vaccination data by either card or recall: 28% received a BD; 81% received 3 vaccine doses. Of 2,109 children providing a blood sample, 60 (2.3%) tested positive for HBsAg. This is the largest, most geographically diverse survey of hepatitis B vaccination and HBsAg seroprevalence done in PNG. Progress has been made in PNG toward the Western Pacific Regional goal to reduce the prevalence of chronic HBV infection to 1% by 2017 among 5-year-old children. Vaccination efforts should be strengthened, including increasing BD coverage and completing the 3-dose series.

“…In such situations, portable vaccination records offer a quick reference summarizing any vaccinations recieved to date. Verbal immunization histories obtained from the patient or proxy on the other hand, have been shown to be largely incorrect or incomplete [3,4]. Most written vaccination records involve manual record-keeping.…”

“…In some countries, the WHO ICVP is used in lieu of a vaccination card, while in other systems, it is used for travel only [7]. In some instances, portable records are used in addition to a national immunization registry, whereas in other settings the paper record may be the only one available [4].…”

“…Several recent studies and meta-analyses have been comparing parental recall to vaccine data in national or federal registries or medical records kept at the physician's office [3,4]. Very little is known, however, about the parents' ability to correctly interpret the information presented in a vaccination record, or to determine and report the vaccination status accurately.…”

The majority of vaccines are administered during childhood. Vaccination records are important documents to be kept for a lifetime, but the documentation of immunization events is poorly standardized. At the point of care, paper records are often unavailable, making it impossible to obtain accurate vaccination histories. Vaccination records should include batch specifications to allow the tracking of licensed vaccines in cases of recall. The WHO have generated the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis for the documentation of childhood and travel vaccinations as well as seasonal and booster immunizations. When moving vaccination records into the digital age, data standards and interoperability need to be considered. The ideal vaccination record should facilitate the interpretation of safety reports and promote a data continuum from pre-licensure trials to post-marketing surveillance. The current article describes which data elements are essential, and how vaccination documentation could be streamlined and simplified.
