It isn’t always that easy. Undocumented workers if they could even be Located would almost never voluntarily submit to a blood test. And in just my very upscale privileged life it took a year to find out exactly what vaccinations they had or didn’t have. We moved from one state to another, fully covered with medical insurance, taking each kid yearly for a “free” checkup and yet my 9 year old had an inaccurate record that they could not find. She swore she had “shots” but who can believe a 9 year old trying to get out of a poke! Both doctors were connected to hospital chains that had “mychart” which is a online medical record keeping site that you can manage from your phone. High tech. Great hospitals and infinitely better medical care than a third world person fleeing war, corruption, starvation or poverty. after a year of not knowing, we finally just decided that any vaccinations she should have had that were ok to have again (there are some that are not) she would just have. Made the appointment and when my daughter again insisted she had already had them the doctor checked one last time and by some miracle (from my daughters perspective) he found they had been entered not even on HER chart but another one of my kids. (I know I know I have a lot of kids) So he came in and proudly informed her she was up to date.
So that is an example of a “rich” privileged, covered, top notch american white medically treated by awesome doctors child and the vaccination record.
Come to think of it it is a crap shoot whenever we go to a doctor if we have accurate charts of immunizations for any of our kids…
But sure… I’m sure the undocumented family who camped, ducked, dodged, swam, and came here in the dead of night submitted for blood samples… I mean that was not even offered to us!
