A European Vaccination Card aims to ensure continuity of care. Continuity of care means
providing consistent and high-quality medical care over time, even when a person sees
different doctors or visits different hospitals. This involves keeping important health
information, like medical records or vaccination history, accurate and easily accessible to
support informed healthcare decisions.

Two scenarios where a European Vaccination Card could be useful are:

• Planning a Pregnancy: If you’re thinking about having a baby, the card makes it easy to
  check if you’ve been vaccinated against diseases like rubella, which could be harmful to
  your future baby.

• Emergency Situations: In the event of an accident, you could quickly confirm if your
  tetanus vaccination was up to date.
