Q: My daughter got overvaccinated by 3 shots due to her previous Doctors office not recording correctly that she got them
I have a Florida Certification of Immunization form saying my daughter received shots on a certain date, but when her current Doctor's office requested the notes from the previous office, there was no record of her getting the shots. It was not recorded on her last visit and it actually says she was sick and did not receive them. However I found in my records a week later this form saying she did indeed receive these shots on that date. My daughter did receive those shots on this last visit due to her not "having them" even though my husband and I were sure she did. What do we do? She had extra doses of 3 vaccines that she should have not gotten.
A: The question who pose should be taken up by your daughter's physician: What health consequences did the 3 extra doses of vaccine your daughter receive have on her health? You didn't say, fortunately, that your daughter had any ill-effects or injury of any kind from the overdosage. Nevertheless, I would seek out a physician to be sure there was no harm.
