Tips for Locating Immunization Records
- If you need to locate your records please contact your medical care provider or the high school you attended.
- If you were vaccinated in California, information can be requested through the State of California Digital COVID-19 Vaccine Record.
- If you cannot locate your records and you were previously vaccinated for Varicella and MMR, you can request blood tests (titers) from your current medical care provider.
- If the titer result is negative you must begin the series of vaccinations.
