Can't find your immunization record?

• Check with your vaccination provider. Your provider can check the North Carolina Immunization Registry.
  • Some people get vaccinated at a local health department, pharmacy or neighborhood clinic.
  • If your provider retired or left, they may have sent your records to a medical storage company. You may be able to get your records from that company.
• Check school or military records. Most K-12 schools, colleges and universities keep student vaccine records on file. Records may be on file for a year or two after graduation or transfer.
• Check your family records. You may have kept vaccine records in baby books, camp applications or old medical records.

Got a vaccine out of state? Find out if a state has a vaccine database like North Carolina. If so, your previous provider may be able to access your records there.

I still can't find my records. Now what?

If you don't have record of previous vaccinations, you're considered susceptible to disease.

You or your child will need to get vaccinated again. It's not harmful to get additional vaccine doses.

Blood tests can help determine if you're already immune to certain diseases. But these tests aren't always accurate, and your provider may prefer to re-vaccinate. Talk with your provider about next steps.
