I lost my card, went back to the pharmacy where I got the shot, and they filled me out a new one with no hesitation.

  There's probably no overarching policy on this and every site is doing what they think is best. Even if the "one card, one dose" situation was true, there are enough spoiled doses for most sites to have extras. While I don't doubt that the parent comment was being truthful, it's not a reasonable policy given how easy it is for those cards to get spoiled, misplaced, stolen, etc. The worker who told the parent commenter that their card cannot be replaced was likely making things up on the fly or had been told that by someone else who made it up for whatever reason.

    Yeah, this was a front line person who told me this while doing the initial administrative processing. I'm glad the risk of forgeries is not so great (as this person made it seem) as to prevent common legitimate replacements.
