Vaccination Record Validation and Verification Statement
The Yavapai College Paramedic Program reserves the right to utilize any means necessary to validate and verify the authenticity of submitted vaccination records. This process ensures compliance with clinical agency requirements and maintains the integrity of health and safety standards for all participants.
As part of the verification process, the program may:
- Directly contact the issuing healthcare provider, clinic, or agency from which the vaccination records were obtained.
- Request confirmation of record authenticity via phone calls, emails, or official correspondence with the issuing entity.
- Submit a copy of the vaccination record to the issuing agency for formal validation.
- Verify documentation through state immunization registries or other official record-keeping systems.
Failure to provide valid, verifiable, and official vaccination records may result in denial of clinical placement and/or ineligibility for program participation. Students are responsible for ensuring that all records submitted are authentic, legible, and meet the requirements set forth by clinical partners.
The program retains the right to reject any vaccination record that cannot be validated or does not meet clinical agency standards.
