João Pessoa City Hall issues guidance on recovering vaccination records
The João Pessoa City Hall has issued guidance for citizens who have lost their vaccination cards or booklets. To ensure immunization schedules remain up to date, the administration advises children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly to visit a vaccination service to evaluate their medical history.
Health professionals can attempt to recover records by consulting local vaccination systems at the health units where doses were previously administered. Additionally, citizens may use the federal government’s ‘Meu SUS Digital’ application to view registered information. However, Fernando Virgolino, head of the City Hall’s Immunization Section, cautioned that not all historical data is available digitally, as older doses or paper-only records may not be integrated into the national system.
Authorities emphasize that the absence of a record in the digital app does not necessarily mean a vaccine was not received, and each case must be evaluated individually by health staff. Officials strongly advise against attempting to reconstruct vaccination histories based solely on memory.
