Immunization card content: What is too much or too little?
When we set out to re-design the immunization card for state of Maharashtra, the first important decision to be made was regarding the content of the immunization card. 

For eg.
• Should it consist of immunization schedule alone? Or 
   Should it also have information and schedule of pre and post natal activities?

• Should we include growth charts and baby’s development milestones? Or 
   Is that too much information?

• Should we provide nutritional advice for pregnant/ lactating mothers or 
   Include only nutritional information for infants between the ages of 1 to 5 years. 

Hence, we decided to focus on vaccination card only. [1]


These are few of the multiple state issued cards available in India.
