Medical Record

Your child’s medical record is both a medical and legal document. It includes information about their:

• Personal medical history, including childhood illnesses and injuries, vaccinations/immunizations and notes about symptoms from previous appointments

• Family medical history, including whether relatives (such as siblings, parents or grandparents) have or had certain health issues — from diabetes to cancer and everything in between — that they might be at risk for as well

• Diagnoses, medication and treatment histories
