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 Vaccine Record.

 

Can't Find Your Immunization Records?

  • If you cannot find your records and you were previously vaccinated for Varicella and MMR, you can request blood tests (titers) from your current medical care provider.
    • If your blood test (titer) levels result negative you will need to repeat the vaccine series.
  • If you cannot provide documentation of required immunizations you will need to get vaccinated.
