Find and Request the Right Texas Immunization Record
Texas residents do not have one universal public ImmTrac2 login that instantly downloads every vaccine record. Your fastest usable copy may already be with a doctor, pharmacy, school or local health department, while an official Texas Immunization Registry history is requested through the Texas Department of State Health Services.
This guide explains exactly which form to use, the extra adult-consent step that applies at age 18 and older, how to request a child’s record, what different ImmTrac2 search results mean, how to fix missing vaccinations, and what Texas schools and colleges may accept as proof.
A completed Texas record-release form contains identifying information and a signature. Do not upload it, your vaccine card, a child’s personal information, portal credentials or other medical documents to an unofficial “instant lookup” website. Use only a verified DSHS, healthcare, pharmacy, school or public-health route.
ImmTrac2 — Texas Immunization Registry.
F11-11406, revised 05/2026.
F11-13366 for clients age 18+.
C-7 for clients younger than 18.
Texas Immunization Information Line: 800-252-9152.
Where should you look for the record first?
You need acceptable proof quickly
Start with the healthcare provider, pharmacy, school nurse, college health office, employer health office, county clinic or local health department that administered or previously collected the vaccination information.
Ask for a complete immunization history rather than a visit receipt or appointment confirmation.
You specifically need an ImmTrac2 history
Use the current Texas DSHS Authorization to Release Official Immunization History — Form F11-11406.
Adults age 18 or older should also review the separate Adult Consent requirement explained below.
If a provider, pharmacy or school already has a record that the receiving organization accepts, obtaining that copy can be faster than starting a new state-registry request.
“Do you require an official ImmTrac2 history, or will you accept a provider-generated, pharmacy, previous-school or other official immunization record?”
What is ImmTrac2, and can Texas residents log in?
ImmTrac2 is the Texas Immunization Registry operated by the Texas Department of State Health Services. It is designed to consolidate available immunization information for people who participate in the registry.
Your normal record routes are:
- Healthcare provider.
- Pharmacy.
- School or college.
- Local health department.
- Texas DSHS record-release request.
The professional ImmTrac2 system is used by approved organizations such as:
- Healthcare providers.
- Schools and childcare facilities.
- Public-health organizations.
- Authorized state agencies.
- Other legally authorized entities.
The official ImmTrac2 portal states that people should not attempt to log in unless they are authorized users. A resident who only wants a personal record generally should not request professional portal access.
How to request Texas immunization records step by step
Ask the school, employer, college, childcare facility, military recruiter, travel office or other receiver which record format it accepts.
Include doctors, pediatricians, pharmacies, hospitals, urgent-care clinics, public-health clinics, schools, employers, military facilities and providers in other states.
Search the patient portal or pharmacy account and ask for a full immunization history if you cannot download one.
If the receiving organization specifically requires a state-registry history, continue with Form F11-11406.
Texas DSHS instructs adults age 18 or older requesting records to sign the Adult Consent Form F11-13366.
Include the client’s identifying information, recipient information, requester’s relationship/contact information, signature and date.
The form allows an email address, fax number or postal-mail destination to be specified.
Use the verified DSHS email, fax or postal instructions below and keep a private copy.
Check the client’s name, birth date, each vaccine name, administration date and whether expected providers are represented.
Contact the provider or pharmacy that administered the missing vaccination before assuming the person was never vaccinated.
The current F11-11406 does not promise a specific processing time. Avoid private sites advertising guaranteed same-day or exact three-day ImmTrac2 delivery.
How to complete Form F11-11406 correctly
The current Texas DSHS form is titled Texas Immunization Registry (ImmTrac2) Authorization to Release Official Immunization History, Stock No. F11-11406, revised May 2026.
Section 1: client information
Section 2: where DSHS should send the record
Section 3: requester information
The current PDF includes the English version and Spanish version in the same file.
Do not automatically attach a driver’s license, passport, Social Security card, birth certificate or unrelated health documents unless an official DSHS representative instructs you to provide something additional.
The email field on F11-11406 tells DSHS where the released history should be delivered. Separately, DSHS currently allows completed record requests to be submitted to its ImmTrac2 email address.
Adults 18+ may need two separate Texas forms
Record release and registry consent are different actions. Texas DSHS instructs adults age 18 or older requesting their immunization record to sign an Adult Consent Form F11-13366 in addition to completing the record-release process.
Purpose: asks Texas DSHS to release the available official ImmTrac2 history.
Think: “Send me the record.”
Purpose: grants adult consent for participation and retention in the Texas Immunization Registry.
Think: “Keep/include my adult registry information.”
Adult Consent Form fields
The adult-consent PDF tells registered providers to enter or affirm consent in ImmTrac2, keep the consent form in the client’s record and not fax the provider-held consent form to ImmTrac2.
Which Texas ImmTrac2 form do you actually need?
Release official history
Use when requesting a copy of an available ImmTrac2 immunization history.
Withdraw consent
Used to withdraw registry consent. It is not a record-correction form.
Newborn registration
A newborn-registration form, not the normal form used to request an existing record copy.
Disaster information retention
Used for qualifying disaster-related registry information, not ordinary record retrieval.
DSHS’s forms directory lists F11-11406 as revised 05/2026 and the Adult Consent, Minor Consent, Withdrawal, Newborn Registration and Disaster Retention forms as revised 02/2026.
What happens to a childhood ImmTrac2 record after age 18?
Parent/guardian consent for a minor is valid until the child turns 18.
A participant registered as a minor must provide adult consent to continue registry participation.
DSHS holds the childhood information until age 26 while adult re-consent can still be completed.
Texas DSHS says the childhood immunization information is deleted if the required Adult Consent Form is not submitted by the participant’s 26th birthday.
Best workflow for someone age 18–25
Keep your own permanent backup while the childhood registry history may still be available.
Use the current adult-consent version rather than an older saved PDF.
Make sure the consent is actually entered or affirmed in ImmTrac2.
Confirm that the organization handling the form completed its ImmTrac2 step.
Maintain a secure PDF and paper copy for future school, employment, military or healthcare use.
DSHS describes adult consent as valid for a lifetime unless consent is later withdrawn.
How to request a child’s Texas immunization record
Form F11-11406 permits an adult requester to identify as the child’s parent, legal guardian or managing conservator.
“I need my child’s complete immunization history. Please check your clinical record and ImmTrac2, verify that vaccines administered by your office were reported, and tell me whether you can provide the validated document the school needs.”
C-7 grants minor registry consent. F11-11406 requests release of an existing official history.
How to send the Texas record-release request
| Method | Destination | Before you send |
|---|---|---|
| ImmTrac2@dshs.texas.gov | Attach the complete signed record-request form. Verify the government email address before sending private information. | |
| Fax | 512-776-7790 | Fax every page required and keep the successful transmission confirmation. |
| Postal mail | Texas Immunization Registry – MC 1946, P.O. Box 149347, Austin, TX 78714-9347 | Use the current record-release address and keep a copy of the signed form. |
Immunization Section – ImmTrac2
MC 1946
P.O. Box 149347
Austin, TX 78714-9347
Texas DSHS currently lists MC 1946 for record-release requests. Its enrollment/consent instructions separately list MC 1947 for enrolling a person in ImmTrac2. Use the address attached to the specific task you are completing instead of assuming every ImmTrac2 form goes to the same mail code.
Email privacy checklist
What can the ImmTrac2 search return?
F11-11406 includes three separate office-use outcomes. Each one requires a different next step.
| Result | Meaning | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Record Released | A matching client record with available reported immunizations was located. | Compare the returned record with expected doctors, pharmacies and vaccine dates. |
| Record Not Found | No matching registry profile was identified from the submitted information. | Check former names, date of birth, consent history, providers, schools, pharmacies and other states. |
| Record Found, but No Immunizations Reported | A matching client profile exists, but no vaccination entries were available in the returned history. | Contact the vaccinating providers and investigate reporting, consent or duplicate-profile issues. |
The vaccine history may still exist with a provider, pharmacy, school, military system, another state’s registry, international provider, paper record or differently matched ImmTrac2 profile.
Why is my Texas immunization record incomplete?
The person’s information may not have been retained in ImmTrac2 under the applicable consent rules.
The vaccination may exist in the clinic’s own EHR even though it is missing from the registry.
A maiden name, adoption-related name, hyphenated name or earlier legal name may be attached to an older record.
An incorrect date of birth can produce an unmatched or duplicate client profile.
Different providers may have submitted data under slightly different demographics.
Childhood information may no longer be available after the age-26 retention deadline.
Another state’s registry or provider may hold the dose.
Older vaccinations may predate registry participation or electronic transfer.
A recent adult vaccination may be easiest to recover from the pharmacy that administered it.
Some vaccinations may remain in military, VA, TRICARE or another federal record system.
Correction order
Check current and former names, suffixes, date of birth, sex, old addresses and Texas counties.
Contact the exact clinic or pharmacy that gave the missing vaccination.
Request vaccine name, administration date, manufacturer and lot number when available.
The provider may be able to determine whether an ImmTrac2 report failed or was associated with a different profile.
An authorized ImmTrac2 user may need to investigate records created under different demographic information.
Search pharmacies, schools, colleges, employers, military systems and old paper files.
Use the registry or provider in each state where vaccinations were administered.
“My immunization history is missing the [vaccine] administered at your location around [date]. Please locate the original administration record, verify the patient identity used, and check whether the dose was successfully reported to ImmTrac2 or attached to another patient profile.”
Do not decide to repeat a vaccine solely because a registry copy is incomplete. Give all available documentation to an appropriately licensed healthcare professional and let the clinician determine any medical next step.
What immunization documentation can Texas schools accept?
Texas guidance allows several types of records, but the document must contain enough information to identify the vaccine and administration date and must have the required validation.
| Record type | Important validation | Common failure |
|---|---|---|
| Provider paper record | Physician or public-health personnel validation may be shown through a signature, initials or stamp. | Vaccine dates are incomplete or the document has no validation. |
| Electronic healthcare record | Should include clinic contact information, provider signature/stamp, vaccine name and month/day/year. | A patient-portal screenshot without provider/clinic identification. |
| Official state/local health-authority record | An official record generated by the health authority is acceptable. | A self-created list copied from memory. |
| Previous-school record | An official record received from school officials, including an out-of-state school, may qualify. | An unofficial parent copy without complete dates. |
| Foreign vaccination record | The school must be able to interpret vaccine information and dates. | Misreading day/month/year as U.S. month/day/year. |
A date written as 28/02/2019 normally represents February 28, 2019. Do not automatically interpret every foreign date in U.S. month/day/year order.
What does provisional enrollment mean?
Current 2026–27 Texas guidance allows provisional enrollment in qualifying circumstances when the student has documentation showing at least one dose of each required age-appropriate series and is not overdue for the next medically feasible dose.
The record must show the student has begun each applicable required series.
Required subsequent doses must be received on schedule and as rapidly as medically feasible.
A school nurse or administrator reviews the student’s immunization status for continued compliance.
Texas exemption procedures are separate from the process of locating or replacing vaccination documentation.
“Please tell me the exact vaccine, dose or validation detail that is missing, whether the student qualifies for provisional enrollment, and which record formats your school accepts. Can I provide an official ImmTrac2 record, validated provider record or official previous-school record?”
Some Texas students have different enrollment procedures
Texas guidance points to additional rules for students transferring between Texas schools, military dependents, children in foster care and students experiencing homelessness.
Ask the previous school to send the official immunization record directly to the new campus while the transfer rules are being applied.
Tell the enrolling school that the student is a dependent of an active-duty service member so the correct transfer/provisional rule can be reviewed.
Alert the school to foster-care status immediately so staff can follow the applicable enrollment and record-recovery process.
Ask the school which designated staff member can assist with missing health and enrollment records under the applicable protections.
Texas maintains a separate official exemption process for qualifying medical exemptions and exemptions for reasons of conscience, including religious belief. Record retrieval and exemption eligibility are different issues.
Texas college meningococcal proof has its own timing rule
For entering students who are subject to the Texas higher-education meningococcal requirement, the current DSHS guidance says proof should show an initial meningococcal vaccination or booster during the five-year period before enrollment.
DSHS says the qualifying meningococcal vaccination must be administered at least 10 days before the semester begins.
Examples of acceptable college proof listed by DSHS
“Please confirm whether I am subject to the Texas meningococcal requirement, the exact deadline, and which proof formats you accept. If I provide an official ImmTrac2 history, provider record or previous-school record, does it contain everything your office needs?”
Do not request more medical information than the receiver needs
| Reason for record | Ask the receiver | Best sources to check |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare employment | Which vaccine dates, forms or laboratory records are required? | ImmTrac2, provider, pharmacy and occupational health. |
| College or professional program | Does the program require its own health form? | Student health, prior school, provider and registry. |
| Military enlistment | Which civilian vaccination documents should be brought? | ImmTrac2, provider, pharmacy and previous military records. |
| Travel | Is a particular international certificate required? | Travel clinic, provider, pharmacy and existing international certificate. |
| Immigration medical examination | Which original or translated vaccine records should be taken to the civil surgeon? | Providers, pharmacies, registries and international records. |
If an employer, college or other organization needs only selected vaccination proof, use its secure submission process and avoid emailing an unnecessarily broad medical history.
Where else should you search when ImmTrac2 is incomplete?
| Situation | Search first | What to request |
|---|---|---|
| Recent pharmacy vaccine | Pharmacy account and exact administering location. | Complete vaccine administration history. |
| Former provider closed | Successor practice, hospital network, insurer and record custodian. | Location of archived medical records and release instructions. |
| Previous school | School nurse or registrar. | Complete immunization record, not only transcript records. |
| College history | Student-health office. | Previously submitted immunization documentation. |
| Military vaccines | Military medical records, TRICARE or VA where applicable. | Complete immunization history. |
| Vaccine given in another state | That state’s IIS, provider, pharmacy or former school. | Official history from the jurisdiction where the vaccination occurred. |
| Foreign vaccination | Original clinic, school records and personal documents. | Original vaccine names and dates; ask the receiver whether translation is required. |
If the old medical office has closed
A recorded message may identify a successor office or records custodian.
A hospital network may still hold archived records from the former practice.
Claims can help identify the provider and approximate service date, although they do not replace a validated immunization record.
They may already have a usable copy.
Ask whether staff can assist with ImmTrac2 or identify the correct county/regional service.
Related record guides for vaccines given outside Texas
Use the Oklahoma OSIIS route for doses administered north of Texas.
Use Louisiana’s LINKS/MyIR route for doses administered east of Texas.
Check the administering pharmacy, healthcare provider and registry for the state where the dose was administered.
A person’s lifetime history can be divided among state registries, providers, pharmacies, schools, employers, military systems and international records.
How to find CVS, Walgreens, Walmart or other pharmacy vaccine records
A parent, spouse or family account may have been used even when the vaccination was for you.
Check an old phone number, email address or surname.
Appointment history and purchase receipts may not contain the complete clinical record.
Ask for a complete vaccination administration history rather than only a payment receipt.
This helps explain why a pharmacy record exists but the state history is incomplete.
It may help a provider or authorized registry user investigate the missing dose.

Questions to ask a local Texas health department
“I need an immunization record for [myself/my child]. Vaccinations may have been given in [county/clinic] around [year]. Does your office provide record copies or ImmTrac2 assistance, and what identification, guardianship documentation or appointment should I prepare?”
Texas record-recovery worksheet
“I am trying to locate a complete immunization history for [purpose]. The record may be under [current/former name], and vaccinations may have been given around [year] at [provider/location]. Can you tell me whether you hold the record, whether you can check ImmTrac2, and what authorization you require?”
Avoid these common Texas record mistakes
A personal record request is not the same task as authorized ImmTrac2 system access.
Release, adult consent, minor consent and withdrawal each have different purposes.
Record release and registry enrollment currently use different DSHS mail codes.
The current release form does not itself list a photo-ID attachment requirement.
Search original providers, pharmacies, schools and other states.
Corrections should be handled through the appropriate provider or registry process.
Texas school validation rules may require complete dates, provider/clinic information and validation.
People registered as minors should resolve adult consent well before the childhood-record retention deadline.
First determine what documentation the receiver accepts and discuss any medical testing with a qualified clinician.
Use the minimum documentation required for the specific school, job or program.

Texas immunization records FAQs
How do I get my Texas immunization records?
Start with your healthcare provider, pharmacy, school or local health department. If you specifically need an official ImmTrac2 history, complete Texas DSHS Form F11-11406 and follow the current DSHS submission instructions.
Can I log into ImmTrac2 myself?
ImmTrac2 professional portal access is for authorized users and organizations. Ordinary residents generally obtain personal records through providers, pharmacies, schools, local public health or the DSHS record-release process.
Which form requests a copy of my ImmTrac2 record?
Use Form F11-11406, Authorization to Release Official Immunization History. The current forms directory lists the release form as revised May 2026.
Does an adult also need the ImmTrac2 Adult Consent Form?
Texas DSHS currently states that people age 18 or older requesting an immunization record must sign the Adult Consent Form F11-13366. Record release and adult registry consent are separate actions.
Can I request my child’s Texas immunization record?
Form F11-11406 allows the requester to identify as the child’s parent, legal guardian or managing conservator. Complete both the child’s information and your requester/relationship information.
What happens to a childhood ImmTrac2 record after age 18?
A person registered as a minor must provide adult consent after turning 18. Texas DSHS says the childhood information is held until age 26 and deleted if required adult consent is not submitted before the 26th birthday.
What does “Record Found, but No Immunizations Reported” mean?
It means a client profile was located in ImmTrac2 but the returned profile contained no reported vaccine entries. Check the original providers, pharmacies, schools, consent status, duplicate profiles and other state registries.
Can an ImmTrac2 record be used for Texas school enrollment?
An official record from a state or local health authority can qualify as acceptable evidence. Texas also recognizes other properly validated medical or previous-school documentation when it meets current rules.
How long does an ImmTrac2 record request take?
The current release form does not state a guaranteed turnaround time. If a deadline is close, also contact the provider, pharmacy, school or local health department that may already hold acceptable proof.
Is there a Texas state fee for requesting an ImmTrac2 history?
The current record-release form does not list a state request fee. A provider, pharmacy or other record holder may have its own copying or service charge, so ask that organization directly.
