How to Obtain Immunization Records
Immunization records are a way of verifying that an individual has had all of the vaccines that are recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The vaccines are required to enter your child into daycare facilities, elementary and high school, as well as college and the military. If you don't have access to the immunization record to provide proof of immunization to the educational institution or military, it may be necessary to receive more vaccines to ensure that you are compliant.
