Match Your Need to the Right Florida Record
Florida does not use one public download button for every person or every record type. An adult requesting their own Florida SHOTS history, a parent retrieving a child’s certified school form, and someone facing a school or work deadline use different routes.
Start with the document you actually need. Then use the provider, pharmacy, county health department or official Florida SHOTS route below to retrieve it, troubleshoot a failed match, correct missing doses and safely prepare proof.
Florida SHOTS covers vaccine records for people of all ages.

Direct portal is for adults age 18+ requesting their own available record.
Use the child’s provider or county health department.
DH Form 680 documents Florida school immunization status.
Which Florida immunization record route fits your situation?
Use this route first when a school, employer, college, clinical program, camp or other organization needs the record soon.
- Ask the provider for a complete “Immunization History.”
- Ask the pharmacy for vaccines administered by that pharmacy.
- Ask whether the provider can access Florida SHOTS.
- Use the county health department if the provider cannot locate or certify the record.
Use the official DH 3203 electronic request when you are 18 or older and requesting only your own available Florida SHOTS immunization history.
- Not for a child.
- Not for another adult.
- A record match is not guaranteed.
- The portal currently warns of processing longer than 30 days.
Florida SHOTS directs minor-record requests to the child’s healthcare provider or county health department rather than the adult direct-request portal.
- Ask for the complete immunization history.
- For school or child care, ask whether DH Form 680 is needed.
- Ask for parent-retrieval credentials only after a certified DH 680 has been issued.
Retrieve the complete history from previous providers, pharmacies, schools and state registries, then take the records to a Florida provider or county health department when a Florida certification is needed.
How to request Florida immunization records step by step
Florida SHOTS login is not the same as a resident record request
The main Florida SHOTS sign-in screen asks for an organization login and professional username/password or single sign-on. That is the provider, school, child-care or authorized-user side of the registry.
- Ask a provider.
- Ask a county health department.
- Check the administering pharmacy.
- If age 18+, use the separate adult own-record request when appropriate.
- Use the organization login.
- Use assigned credentials or approved single sign-on.
- Follow the organization’s privacy and access rules.
How the Florida SHOTS adult record-request portal works
An adult age 18 or older requesting their own available Florida SHOTS immunization record.
A parent requesting a child’s record or one adult requesting another adult’s record through this direct portal.
The portal currently warns that requests are taking longer than 30 days.
Prepare these adult-request details before you open the portal
| Item | Current portal detail | Practical check |
|---|---|---|
| Photo ID | The portal requires primary photo identity proof. | Make sure the document is current, readable and fully visible. |
| Examples | Driver license, state-issued ID, passport ID or another photo-ID type. | Use the strongest accepted ID available to you. |
| Accepted file types | JPG, JPEG, TIF, TIFF and PDF. | Convert unsupported HEIC phone photos before uploading. |
| Maximum size | 2.5 MB. | Compress a large scan while keeping all text legible. |
| Former information | Former name and address fields can help locate the record. | Think back to the identity details used at older vaccination visits. |
What to save and what not to do after an adult request
- Submission date.
- Record-access PIN.
- Copy of the electronically signed request if offered.
- Name and address variation used.
- Any confirmation screen.
- Submitting duplicate requests.
- Emailing ID to unofficial addresses.
- Creating a provider Florida SHOTS account.
- Assuming no response means no record exists.
- Waiting on the statewide queue when a near deadline exists.
If Florida SHOTS says more information is needed
Be ready to compare your current information with older provider records. A former surname, previous Florida address, date-of-birth error or duplicate profile can prevent a clean match.
DH Form 3203: what the authorization actually asks you to approve
DH 3203 is Florida’s Authorization to Disclose Confidential Information. It is broader than an immunization-only form, so read the selections carefully and authorize only the information needed for your request.
| Section | What the form asks | Micro-level check |
|---|---|---|
| Information disclosed by | Person/facility, phone number and address. | Use the correct record-holding office. |
| Information disclosed to | Recipient person/facility and contact information. | Confirm destination before signing. |
| Method of disclosure | Pickup, postal address, fax or email. | Ask whether secure delivery is available. |
| Information to disclose | Initial beside the desired category, including Immunizations. | Do not authorize unrelated medical categories unnecessarily. |
| Purpose | Continuity of care, personal use or other purpose. | Choose the actual purpose of the disclosure. |
| Expiration | A specific expiration date or event. | If left unspecified, the form states the authorization expires 12 months after signing. |
| Signature | Client/legal-representative signature, date, printed name and relationship. | Do not sign before reviewing the disclosure scope. |
| Legal representative | Proof of legal authority when a legal representative signs. | The PDF gives examples such as applicable power of attorney, healthcare-surrogate or guardianship documents. |
How to obtain a child’s Florida immunization record
How to download a child’s certified DH Form 680
The parent retrieval page does not create a new certificate. The provider must first issue the child’s DH Form 680.
The retrieval instructions require a 10-digit numeric Florida SHOTS patient identifier.
The retrieval instructions require a nine-character combination of letters and/or numbers.
DH Form 680 PIN not working? Match the message to the fix
| Message | Meaning | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Enter 10 numbers | The State IMM Id format is incorrect. | Enter exactly the 10 numbers supplied by the healthcare provider. |
| Only numbers are allowed | Letters or other characters were entered in the State IMM Id. | Remove spaces, letters or punctuation. |
| Exactly nine letters/numbers required | The Certification PIN format is wrong. | Compare the nine-character PIN carefully with the provider’s instruction sheet. |
| State IMM Id and/or PIN invalid | One or both values do not match. | Re-enter both exactly as supplied. |
| Form has not yet been created | The provider has not completed the form in Florida SHOTS. | Contact the provider if more than a day has passed since you were told it would be ready. |
| Form could not be found | The entered credentials do not retrieve the expected certificate. | Recheck credentials, then ask the issuing provider to confirm the form exists. |
| Form has been decertified | The provider marked the prior form incorrect. | Contact the provider for a corrected newly certified form. |
| Temporary exemption expired | The Part B expiration date passed. | Contact the healthcare provider for the appropriate updated clinical/documentation step. |
| Too many unsuccessful attempts | Three failed attempts triggered the security block. | Wait 15 minutes before trying again. |
| JavaScript disabled | The retrieval page cannot operate correctly. | Enable JavaScript or pause the blocker affecting the official retrieval page. |
What information makes a DH Form 680 usable?
Florida Health’s technical guideline currently linked from the school-enrollment page identifies several required form elements.
The technical guideline says the child’s Social Security number is optional on DH Form 680.
The guideline says the state immunization ID appears on a computer-generated form but is not required for a paper DH 680 to be valid.
DH Form 680 Parts A, B and C — and separate DH Form 681
Used by the authorized provider for children whose applicable required vaccination documentation is complete.
Used when a child has received vaccines medically indicated at that time and is in the process of completing necessary immunizations. An expiration date is required.
Used when the appropriate physician documents a medical reason supported by valid clinical reasoning or evidence.
Separate from DH 680 and issued through a Florida county health department under the applicable religious-exemption process.
Part B expiration is a real deadline
Florida’s technical guideline says a Part B temporary medical exemption is invalid without an expiration date. Once that date passes, the form is no longer valid unless it has been appropriately updated.
DH Form 680 is not the same as the Florida school-entry physical
| Document | What it covers | Parent action |
|---|---|---|
| DH Form 680 | Certification of required immunization documentation. | Obtain through an authorized Florida healthcare provider or county health department. |
| School-entry health examination | Physical examination for initial entry into a Florida school. | Use a qualifying exam completed within one year before enrollment. |
| DH 3040 | Florida’s recommended standardized School Entry Health Exam form. | A different qualifying U.S.-provider form containing the required exam components may also be acceptable. |
| Comparable out-of-state physical | Physical exam evidence for a student transferring into Florida. | Can be acceptable when completed by an appropriately licensed U.S. provider within the required period. |
Why the school may ask for an updated DH 680
Florida’s current child-immunization page lists grade-specific requirements and an additional Tdap requirement for students entering, attending or transferring into seventh grade. Use the official current page rather than an old checklist because requirements can change.
Moving schools? Do not assume every student automatically gets 30 days
Florida law provides specific temporary exemptions in certain transfer and protected situations. The exact school action depends on the student’s circumstances, so ask the receiving school rather than relying on a blanket “30-day grace period” claim.
| Situation | Current guidance | Useful action |
|---|---|---|
| Transfer into a new Florida county | Current Florida statute allows an authorized school official to issue a temporary exemption for up to 30 school days while records are obtained. | Ask the school whether the exemption applies and obtain the missing record immediately. |
| Child experiencing homelessness | Current law includes temporary protections while documentation is obtained. | Tell the enrollment office the student’s situation so the correct support route is used. |
| Juvenile justice entry | A temporary exemption may be issued while records or immunizations are obtained. | Work with the responsible school/juvenile-justice official on documentation follow-up. |
| Florida public-school transfer | Immunization certification can transfer through Florida’s FASTER system. | Ask whether the complete health information successfully transferred. |
| Part B or Part C involved | The technical guideline calls for original-form follow-up when medical-exemption information is involved. | Ask the previous school to forward the original DH 680 if required. |
| FASTER record lacks dose dates | The technical guideline says the original DH 680 may be required for verification. | Do not rely on an abbreviated electronic line when complete dates are missing. |
DH Form 681 is not downloaded or completed like DH Form 680
Florida Health identifies DH Form 681 as the Religious Exemption From Immunization form. It is issued through a county health department under the applicable religious-exemption process.

How to request a Florida immunization-record correction
Start with the provider or pharmacy that administered the vaccine. That organization can compare the original clinical administration record with the patient identity and registry submission.
| Detail | Where to find it | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Vaccine name | Provider portal, pharmacy history, card or visit summary. | Identifies the exact event the office must locate. |
| Administration date | Receipt, appointment history, claim or clinical record. | Narrows the encounter search. |
| Administering location | Clinic, pharmacy, hospital or employer record. | Shows which organization should verify the dose. |
| Manufacturer / lot | Detailed vaccine-administration record when available. | Supports precise clinical verification. |
| Identity at the visit | Insurance card, appointment reminder or portal profile. | May reveal a former-name or duplicate-profile problem. |
| Registry submission status | Administering provider’s system. | Shows whether a dose may have failed to transmit or match. |

| College / nursing program | Student health, provider, pharmacy and previous school. | The program’s exact required documentation format. |
| Healthcare employment | Occupational health, former employer, provider and pharmacy. | The exact proof required by the employer. |
| Military vaccines | Military medical records, TRICARE or VA systems when applicable. | Complete service immunization history. |

Pharmacy retrieval checklist
If the old provider closed
Search every state where vaccines were administered
Florida SHOTS can include available Florida registry information, but it should not be assumed to contain every vaccination from another jurisdiction.
Use Georgia’s state-specific GRITS/DPH retrieval route.
Use Alabama’s provider, county and ImmPRINT-related route.
Start with the administering pharmacy/provider and the correct state registry.
Who should you contact for Florida record help?
| Problem | Best first contact | Prepare first |
|---|---|---|
| Recent vaccination | Administering provider or pharmacy. | Name, DOB, approximate date and location. |
| Urgent record | Provider or county health department. | Deadline and exact document required. |
| Adult own-record request | Florida SHOTS public request route. | Current/former identity information and accepted photo ID. |
| Child record / DH 680 | Child’s provider or county health department. | Child identity, parent/guardian information and all previous records. |
| Duplicate profile or technical SHOTS problem | Florida SHOTS Help Desk. | Former names, DOB, provider and exact error. |
| Parent DH 680 retrieval error | Issuing provider first, Florida SHOTS support if needed. | State IMM Id/PIN privately and exact error message. |
| School enrollment rule | School registrar/nurse or Florida School Health. | Ask whether the missing item is DH 680, the physical or both. |

Florida immunization records FAQs
How do I get my immunization records in Florida?
Start with the healthcare provider, pharmacy, clinic or county health department most likely to hold the record. Adults age 18 or older requesting only their own available record may also use the official Florida SHOTS direct-request route.
Can I log into Florida SHOTS myself?
The main Florida SHOTS login is designed for authorized organizations and users. Residents normally use a provider, county health department, the separate adult own-record request, or a provider-issued parent DH 680 retrieval route.
Who can use the Florida SHOTS adult record-request portal?
The direct portal is for individuals age 18 or older requesting their own available immunization history. It should not be used to request another adult’s record or a minor’s record.
How long is the Florida SHOTS adult request currently taking?
The current portal warns that processing is taking longer than 30 days because of request volume. It also says not to submit another request if one was submitted within the last 30 business days. Urgent requests should start with a provider or county health department.
What ID file types does the adult portal accept?
The current portal lists JPG, JPEG, TIF, TIFF and PDF and states a 2.5 MB file-size limit for identity uploads.
How do I get my child’s Florida immunization record?
Contact the child’s healthcare provider or county health department. For school or child care, ask whether a certified DH Form 680 is required and whether parent retrieval has been enabled.
How can I download my child’s certified DH Form 680?
The provider must first create and certify the form. Ask the provider for the 10-digit State IMM Id and nine-character Certification PIN, then use the official Florida SHOTS DH 680 retrieval page on a trusted private device.
Why is the State IMM Id or DH 680 PIN not working?
Check the 10-digit State IMM Id and nine-character Certification PIN carefully. The form may also not have been created yet, may have been decertified, or a temporary medical exemption may have expired. Three incorrect attempts trigger a 15-minute block.
Is DH Form 680 the same as a Florida school-entry physical?
No. DH Form 680 documents immunization certification. Initial entry into a Florida school also requires a qualifying school-entry health examination completed within one year before enrollment. Florida recommends DH 3040 for documenting that physical exam.
Why might my Florida SHOTS record be incomplete?
Possible causes include a former name, incorrect demographic information, duplicate profile, reporting gap, registry opt-out, out-of-state vaccination, military or federal records, older paper-only history or a closed provider. Check all original record sources before assuming a vaccine was never administered.
