When I was 15 I discovered that my local doctor lost all of my medical records. Poof, all gone. Whoops, next patient please. My last doctor no longer had a copy of my files, either.
I had to receive all of my vaccinations again over two sessions before attending public school.

- liontwist 2y agoNow instead of losing a yellow folder, a system will lose 1 million people’s records all at once. Aren’t school vaccines registered with the state? Given how many parents cannot keep records, I am surprised the solution would be “get them again”.

Of course the real hard part is how do you mark a record as do not restore anymore. In a medical context this isn't much a problem, but in other cases it is an issue.
