REMARKS STATION OR COMMAND INSTRUCTIONS 1. A record will be kept on cards of this form, except as otherwise specially authorized, of all vaccinations against typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, and smallpox given under the direction of medical officers to officers, enlisted men, and civilian employees of the Army, and to other civilians accompanying or resident with military commands. 2. The card will be begun in each case immediately upon giving either vaccination, making proper entry thereof, which will be authenticated by the initials of the responsible medical officer. The other blank spaces on the card will be filled out as soon as practicable. 3. In the case of a civilian employee, the character of his employment (clerk, teamster, etc.) and the staff corps or department in which he is employed will be noted in the spaces rank, company, and regiment. A brief notation of the status of other civilians will be made in the same spaces. 4. The result of the vaccination against smallpox will be recorded as successful or unsuccessful. The term protected will not be used. 5. The cards will be filed by classes (officers, enlisted men, civilian employees, and other civilians separately), each class by names in dictionary order. The cards of enlisted men, civilian employees, and civilians may be destroyed after 5 years from the date of the last vaccination recorded thereon. 6. Supplemental or continuation cards will be prepared and attached to the original cards as necessary. 7. Should the soldier leave the command en route to another command before the result of the vaccination against small pox is ascertained or before the third dose of typhoid or paratyphoid vaccine is given, a duplicate of the incomplete vaccination card should be sent by the surgeon direct to the surgeon of the new command for the latter
