Personally, I think that everyone who gets the vaccine needs to get some kind of documentation. Vaccination may be required for school, college or work in the coming year. We can handle this for children pretty easily. Most states have state-wide data bases for all children to track vaccines. California has that, for example. Although Kaiser refuses to participate for unknown reasons. If your child is vaccinated in Modesto, and you move to Eureka, your new physician should be able to find your child's vaccines in the state data base.

Very true. The WHO "yellow card" serves this function as well. It would be useful if your immunization record was included electronically in your passport, as I am pretty certain a COVID-19 vaccination will be required to enter many countries, at least for a while. This entire system needs to be updated, as it is inevitable nations will seek to control disease this way in the future. In the US, HHS distributes this card. Back in the 1970s you needed this card to go pretty much anywhere in Asia, and you needed to have the required vaccinations or you didn't get in. I stopped carrying mine as a matter of routine in the late 80s.
