It shows that the clinics basically need to follow up on the parents' getting repeat vaccinations for their children. There is a big misconception out there (and I used to believe it) that you are protected for life with one shot. I did not know until I did research on vaccinations for my daughter that some vaccinations are only good for a few years. Adults too should be keeping up with their booster shots.

Yes, it's same here in Germany as well. children's vaccinations are obligation until they are 18 years old. We will get big problem with government if we neglect or forget our control children's vaccination. The child physician gave us the yellow book of children's vaccation... It tell us when the children should received... Before my both sons' first school day, we received the letter from health department telling us to bring yellow book to control children's vaccination.
wow, Angel... I remember you mention about your feet problem in your thread last year... It look painful...
Yes, we received tetanus vaccine once in every 10 years, my family also have as well. We need to control our pass when our vaccination need to be done.
My both boys received vaccine to protect hepatitis B vaccine every 2 years.
