VitalTap · Kids

If your child needs help, the right people know what to do.

A tag on the school bag. One tap shows allergies, conditions, what to do and how to reach a parent. The child's name and photo never show to a stranger.

Found a child with a VitalTap tag?

  1. Call 919 or 911 first if the child needs help.
  2. Tap the tag on the school bag. The page opens on verifybahamas.com.
  3. Follow the "What to do" note, for example where an EpiPen is kept.
  4. Call a parent with the button on the page. Stay with the child.

Anyone who taps sees

  • Blood type
  • Allergies and medical conditions
  • What to do in an emergency
  • Parent or guardian contacts, one tap to call

Only with the parent's code

  • Child's name and photo
  • Date of birth and school
  • Medications, doctor and address
  • Insurance and NIB number

Parents share the code with the school nurse and teachers. It is never printed on the tag.

For schools

  1. Whole-class enrolment with parent consent forms collected by the school.
  2. Teachers and the nurse hold the codes, so a full record is one tap away on field trips and sports days.
  3. Parents keep it current: one call when an allergy, medicine or contact changes.

Enrol your child or your school

Parents can enrol a child directly. Principals and PTAs: ask about the VitalTap schools programme.
