Those cards are vaccine reminders given to patients so that they know when they need to return for a booster. The same thing happens with Shingrix, which is given in a two dose series 2-6 months after the initial injection.
Moreover, in most every state that I know of every pharmacist that immunizes by a standing protocol is required to submit proof of vaccination to the primary care provider.
Here is an excerpt from Missouri's statute:
(A) The patient’s primary health care provider, if provided by the patient, is notified of the following within fourteen (14) days of administering a vaccine:
1. The identity of the patient;
2. The vaccine administered;
3. The route of administration;
4. The anatomic site of the administration;
5. The dose administered; and
6. The date of administration;
(B) The prescriber is notified within twenty-four (24) hours after learning of an adverse event or reaction experienced by a patient following administration. Notification is mandatory and cannot be waived;
(C) Any notifications required by state and federal law are properly completed and documented; and (D) Notifications required by this section
may be made electronically or in writing or via a common electronic medication record that is accessible to and shared by both the
physician and pharmacist. Documentation of the required notifications, including the notification date, must be maintained as required by subsection (6)(B) or electronically retrievable at the request of the board or the board’s
authorized designee.
