Effective Monday, June 10, 2013 the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) no longer issues yellow vaccination cards to patients at its immunization clinics. Instead, patients will be given a print out of their vaccination history and the vaccines administered at the visit, including lot number and manufacturer of the vaccine. The new immunization record provides more information, is clear and legible, and gives the date of next appointment and information about other vaccines that may be recommended.
