 Vial of Life
The Vial of Life is a national medical program designed to
aid emergency medical personnel by providing an individual's pertinent medical
information. This information is readily available to emergency personnel, in the event
you are unable to speak for yourself, or a member of your household is unable to speak for
themselves.
 The program consists
of a plastic vial, one sticker, and a medical form for each person in the
household and is available free to the public.
The medical form includes the following information:
- Name, address, date of birth
- Contact person for emergency situations
- Allergies, prescriptions, current medical status
- Physician's name and location
The completed medical forms are inserted into the capped
vial, and placed on the upper right-hand corner of the top shelf inside your refrigerator
or placed in the refrigerator door, top shelf.
The Vial of Life Sticker is attached to the outside of the refrigerator door. The sticker
alerts emergency personnel of the completed vial's existence. (Please remember to print
all information legibly and update.)
