Locating Immunization Records

Where can I obtain a record of my child's immunization history?

• The healthcare provider or county health department (CHD) that administered your child's immunizations should maintain a record of the vaccination history.
  • Complete County Health Department Listing
  • Division of Medical Quality Assurance Healthcare Provider Information Search
    
• You can call the Florida State Health Online Tracking System (Florida SHOTS™) helpdesk at 877-888-SHOT (7468) to find out if your child’s records have been entered in the statewide, centralized online immunization registry. The Florida SHOTS™ certified DH Form 680 may be printed by enrolled healthcare providers and is also accessible to any school or licensed childcare center enrolled in the Florida SHOTS™.
• If for any reason you cannot obtain the record from the immunization provider, try contacting the school or childcare facility that your child recently attended. Depending upon the length of time since your child's attendance, they may have a record on file.
