Illinois Yellow Dot Program

For those of you who have experience with the Vial of Life program the Yellow Dot program will be nothing new for you.  Like the Vial of Life program the Yellow Dot program provides information to first responders that can potentially help save your life.  The Yellow Dot program is intended for use in a motor vehicle in case of an accident.  Participants will receive a yellow dot that is to be placed in the lower left hand corner of their rear window.  The yellow dot signifies there is a folder in the glove compartment containing the following medical information about the motorists: participant’s name, close-up photo, emergency contact information, patient’s physician information, medical conditions, recent surgeries, allergies and a list of current medications.  With this information on hand the first responders can give you the best possible care and potentially save your life with the information contained within the yellow dot folder.
