The school nurse's PDF, generated in one tap

August lands. The school sends "we need an updated immunization record by Friday." You realize you've never had this in one place. FamCove fixes that. Log every shot once, generate the school nurse's exact format anytime — and the same PDF works for summer camp medical forms.

Free · No credit card · Per-child · Camp medical forms supported

What's in the FamCove school PDF

📄

Header with child name + DOB

⚠️

Missing-doses section

Required vaccines that are NOT yet on file get their own highlighted section. The nurse sees gaps explicitly instead of guessing.

Frequently asked

What does my kid's school actually want for vaccination records?

Most US public schools require proof of these doses before enrollment: HepB (3), DTaP (5 by kindergarten), IPV/Polio (4 by kindergarten), MMR (2), Varicella (2), HepA (2), Hib (full series), and as kids age — Tdap booster at 11, MenACWY at 11 and 16. Districts vary; some also require HPV by 7th grade. FamCove tracks all of these against the CDC schedule.

Why doesn't the pediatrician just send the school the records?

Some do via a state immunization registry. Most don't — the burden lands on parents. Even when the pediatrician sends a record, it's only the shots given at THAT practice. If your kid switched providers, traveled, or got a flu shot at the pharmacy, those records are missing.

What format does the school nurse expect?

A printed page with: child's name, date of birth, each vaccine name, dose number, date administered, and ideally provider + lot number. FamCove's generated PDF includes all of these in the standard layout school nurses are used to seeing.

Will the school accept FamCove's PDF?

Most do as a parent-completed record — schools then verify against the state registry or call the pediatrician for missing doses. Some districts require a physician-signed form on their letterhead. FamCove's PDF makes filling out THAT form 10x faster because all the dates + lots are in one place.

What if my kid is missing a required shot?

FamCove flags it. The status grid shows 'Overdue' in red. The generated PDF has a 'Required for school — no record on file' section that lists exactly what to ask the pediatrician about at the next visit.

Does it work for camp medical forms too?

Yes — same data, same PDF. Day camp, sleepaway camp, sports camp medical forms all need the immunization page. Generate once, submit to multiple camps.

Is my kid's medical data safe?

Records live in your private FamCove family vault, encrypted in transit + at rest, RLS-protected at the database layer. We don't share with insurance, schools, or anyone else. Parent-owned, parent-controlled.

What if school requirements change?

FamCove uses the CDC schedule as the baseline (which districts mostly mirror). When a state adds HPV or Meningococcal B as required, we add a flag. You'll see the new requirement in your kid's status grid.

The August school request, solved.

And the camp medical form. And the new pediatrician's intake. One vault, every PDF.
