Your vaccination record is much more than just an administrative document: it reflects your protection against potentially serious diseases. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon to forget to update it, or to neglect certain booster shots needed to maintain optimal immunity.
The Importance of Regular Checks
Over time, some vaccine protection may weaken, and booster shots may be necessary to maintain protection. For example:
- Vaccines for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) must be complete to ensure effective coverage, especially if you’re traveling.
- New vaccines, like those for shingles or certain types of meningitis, may be recommended depending on your age or situation.
By consulting a nurse specialized in vaccination, you benefit from a complete analysis of your vaccination record and access to your health file via Dossier Santé Québec (DSQ). This makes it possible to :
- Identify missing vaccines or necessary boosters.
- Plan updates based on your medical history and lifestyle.
- Ensure optimal protection, whether for your personal health, daily activities, or travel.
An Essential Preventive Measure
Keeping your vaccination record up to date is an excellent way to prevent serious diseases that are often forgotten, but always present. It’s also an opportunity to ask questions and receive personalized advice on vaccines recommended for your age, medical conditions or future plans, such as travel or pregnancy.
