This is an updated version of the card that is currently being distributed to vaccine providers. If providers require additional cards, please follow the printing instructions below.

Instructions for printing:

• For durability, it is recommended that you print on card stock (you may want to practice on copy paper, so you don’t waste card stock)
• Open the pdf of the record card. Print out at 100% of page size, do not use page scaling.
• The card is double-sided, so print on both sides of the card stock.
• Trim the card along the trim lines indicated on the back side. (Hint: cut the long way first, dividing the piece in to two long sections, to avoid losing the remaining trim lines.) This will result in 6 cards, each 3 3/8" x 4 1/4".
• Fold each card so that the front panel reads "Influenza Vaccination Record.
