If you need a copy of your child’s immunization records, please allow a minimum of one week turn-around time to process your request. We receive many requests each day for copies of immunization records and this is a very time intensive process to complete. We encourage you to keep track of your child’s immunizations in the state supplied vaccine record.

When you receive your copy, please update and KEEP your child’s permanent immunization record so that you can furnish future copies on your own.
