How so? What organization demanding immunization records is going to accept a screenshot from your phone?

I was really surprised by this. When I moved to the state I had to get immunization records for my kid’s school. My pediatrician was able to pull up some automatically, but it was missing some. She asked me about it, I told her that the kid got the shots didn’t know the exact day. The doc added that to the form that I gave to my school. I was shocked that there was no real data checks.
What’s even crazier is that I once had to travel on official business to some travel restricted regions that required a ton of vaccinations. My proof that was checked by immigration in lots of 1st World and 3rd world countries? A little yellow folded up piece of paper with checkboxes and initials from a doctor.

They currently accept a printout from Walgreens, so you'd probably be surprised what they would accept. But at the very least this is a great first step that will hopefully lead to a printout or some method of providing records that others will accept as valid.
