So this is a similar question to one already asked; unfortunately the moderator gave a link that was absolutely useless. So here we go again.
I want to add MY OWN immunization data to Health app. I DONOT want to log into my hospital because they don't have this data. I am the only one with this data!!!!! So I need to input manually.
Is there a process to do this?

So essentially there is not a specific place "immunizations" to log this info. To me that is a FAIL for Apple. Also I cannot find any "health notes" in my ID section. No big deal, I will continue to use other things to track my stuff. Just thought there might be something on the app. THX
There is no immunization section.
“Medical conditions” and “Medications” are arguably the closest.
As we’re not folks that work for Apple, and as Apple might or might not see this thread, do log some feedback.
You can’t manually add any medical data, not just immunizations. That is because medical information in the health app can be used by emergency care providers and medical professionals in general and needs to be accurate and match your medical records. Thus, it can only be imported from electronic medical records systems.
Best answer yet, but I have shot records that go back before computers! LOL and also some I had recently that are not part of normal medical establishments. (Overseas contractor) Guess that is just the way it is... all big business (Apple in this case) working with big pharma to control MY (our) data.
Thx

Uh, no. That from many years providing direct patient care, as an emergency services provider. Immunization booklets and hand-printed lists of medications and the rest are absolutely accepted as input into treatment, as are the recollections of the patient and other providers, and provider judgement then (and always!) applied.
Hospital medical records are (usually) correct as far as they go, but those records can both be outdated, or the medical records unavailable. And in some cases, the official records are, well, misleading. A subsequent titer (if or when that titer is performed) might show that a recorded immunization was unsuccessful, for instance.
Locally, the providers can and variously do outsource certain immunizations particularly, and have few or no details past the referral. Which makes an immunization booklet the sole easily-accessible medical record. In this region, that’s commonly travel-related immunizations, as well as flu, for instance.
I’d use the free-form notes fields. And would log feedback with Apple. Apple may or may not incorporate the feedback, but immunization data is one of the existing gaps in the health app info. The name of your primary physician is another gap in the existing health app, and that detail can steer choice of hospital by emergency providers (most know which doctors are associated with which hospital facilities), as well as where to look for medical records.
I added that to the health notes and medications notes in the Medical ID section.
You will want to provide some feedback to Apple.
