boletim individual de saúde (registo de vacinas)

The vaccination record. Schools and nurseries ask for proof that the vaccinations in the Portuguese schedule have been given. Vaccinations given in another country are entered into the system by a nurse at the centro de saúde, using your document and a translation.

Where you come across it. Enrolling a child at school or nursery; the first visit to the health centre.
The vaccination schedule differs from the one you are used to, and you will be asked to catch up on some vaccinations.
