My child is 15 years old but I don't remember what vaccines I gave him when he was young. Should I start over with the recommended vaccination schedule? (Ngoc Minh, Da Nang )

In reality, not all children are vaccinated on schedule due to many objective reasons, such as children having fever or health conditions that are not suitable for vaccination.
In principle, vaccination on schedule and with enough doses will maximize the effectiveness of protection. Evidence of your child's vaccination will be shown on the vaccination record or card. In addition to the vaccination book, you can look up your child's vaccination history on the national vaccination information management system.
VNVC Vaccination Center System has built its own vaccination management system. If you get vaccinated here, the customer's vaccination history is recorded and looked up very fully. If the vaccination history has been looked up but it is still not recorded and the customer cannot remember the exact vaccination schedule, the doctor will advise re-vaccination of important vaccines to ensure effective disease prevention.
The doctor will base on information from the parents, determine the person's risk of disease and other conditions to advise on an appropriate supplementary vaccination schedule.

In addition, tests can be used to determine immune status, thereby deciding whether to vaccinate against diseases such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rubella, chickenpox, etc. However, not all diseases can be tested by immune testing and this can be quite costly for those who are vaccinated.
In some cases, when the child is due for vaccination but the vaccines in the expanded immunization program are in short supply, you can choose to get vaccinated by service. However, you need to choose reputable vaccination facilities to vaccinate your child.
Currently, VNVC has more than 40 types of vaccines to prevent nearly 50 infectious diseases, especially the vaccines recommended for injection today such as: 6 in 1, seasonal flu, pneumococcal, whooping cough - diphtheria - tetanus, chickenpox, measles - mumps - rubella, hepatitis A + B, rabies... All vaccines are stored in a cold storage system that meets GSP international standards, ensuring a safe and quality vaccination process for all children and adults.
