Need immunization records Florida residents can use for school, child care, college, work, travel, immigration paperwork, health care training, or family medical files? Florida uses Florida SHOTS as the statewide immunization registry, but the right request path depends on whether you need a child’s DH 680 school form, an adult vaccine history, a pharmacy vaccine record, or older records from a provider, school, employer, military file, or county health department.
To request immunization records in Florida, start with Florida SHOTS, the provider or pharmacy that gave the vaccine, or your local county health department. For Florida school, child care, family day care, camp, and many transfer situations, ask specifically for the certified Florida Certification of Immunization, also called DH Form 680.
Official next step: Florida SHOTS record requestAdults should not rely on one database only. Florida DOH notes there is no national database that keeps adult immunization records, so adults may need to check providers, parents, high schools, colleges, employers, military files, pharmacies, county health departments, and prior state registries.

What Immunization Records Florida Means
Immunization records Florida means proof of vaccines received in Florida or stored by Florida providers, pharmacies, schools, county health departments, employers, military offices, or Florida SHOTS. These records may show vaccine names, dose dates, provider information, and documentation needed for school, child care, work, travel, immigration, college, health care training, or personal medical decisions.
Official Florida overview: Florida DOH ImmunizationsThe exact document you need depends on the reason for the request. A Florida K-12 school or child care program may ask for DH Form 680. A college or employer may accept a provider vaccine history. A health care job may require exact dates, titers, TB screening, flu shots, or COVID documentation. An adult with old records may need to search several sources.
Ask the child’s provider or county health department for a certified DH 680 when school or daycare needs proof.
Check Florida SHOTS, provider portals, pharmacies, schools, colleges, employers, and military records.
Ask the receiving office exactly what proof it accepts before paying for titers or repeat vaccines.
What Is Florida SHOTS?
Florida SHOTS is the Florida State Health Online Tracking System. Florida Department of Health describes Florida SHOTS as a statewide, centralized online immunization registry that helps parents, health care providers, and schools keep track of immunization records.
Official registry site: Florida SHOTSCDC identifies Florida’s immunization information system as FL SHOTS and says it includes immunization records for vaccine recipients of all ages. That does not mean every adult record is complete. Older paper records, vaccines from another state, military records, foreign vaccine records, or doses never reported to Florida SHOTS may still require backup searching.
Federal reference: CDC IIS Policies: Florida| Florida SHOTS point | What it means | Best action |
|---|---|---|
| State registry | Florida’s main immunization registry for reported vaccine records. | Use Florida SHOTS or ask your provider to check it. |
| Provider access | Providers can use the system to manage and print immunization records. | Call the provider or pharmacy that gave the vaccine. |
| School records | DH 680 forms can be created or electronically certified through Florida SHOTS. | Ask for DH Form 680, not just a vaccine list. |
| Adult records | Adults may have records in Florida SHOTS, but old records may be elsewhere. | Search providers, pharmacies, schools, employers, military, and county records too. |
How to Request and Download Immunization Records Florida
Use this order when you need the fastest safe path. It starts with Florida SHOTS and the original vaccine source, then moves to county, school, pharmacy, adult backup, and other state options.
- Start with the provider or pharmacy that gave the vaccine. Contact the doctor, pediatrician, clinic, hospital system, urgent care, county clinic, CVS, Walgreens, Publix, Walmart, Costco, Sam’s Club, or travel clinic that administered the vaccine.
- Ask whether they can check Florida SHOTS. Request an immunization history, vaccine administration record, or Florida SHOTS printout. For school, ask specifically about DH Form 680.
- Use the Florida SHOTS record request page. Adults and families can start with the official Florida SHOTS request route when a provider is not the fastest option.
- For child school records, ask for certified DH 680. A school may reject a casual vaccine list if it needs the Florida Certification of Immunization.
- Check county health department help. If the provider is closed, records are missing, or school documentation is urgent, contact the local county health department.
- Search pharmacy, school, college, employer, and military files. Adult records may be split across several record holders, especially for older vaccines.
- Use another state registry if the vaccine was not given in Florida. If the shot happened in Georgia, Alabama, New York, Texas, California, Puerto Rico, or another place, contact that state’s registry.
- Save a secure copy. Keep a PDF and printed copy. Label it clearly, such as “Florida-Immunization-Records-2026.pdf.”
DH Form 680: Florida School and Child Care Immunization Proof
DH Form 680 is the Florida Certification of Immunization. Florida uses it to document immunizations required for entry and attendance in schools, child care facilities, and family day care homes. For parents, this is usually the most important phrase to use when calling a provider or county health department.
Official child immunization page: Florida DOH Child ImmunizationsFlorida SHOTS guidance explains that enrolled health care providers can complete and electronically certify DH Form 680s for proof of vaccination at schools and daycare centers. Parents may be able to access a certified form when the provider issues the State IMM Id and Certification PIN route.
Official 680 form guidance: Florida SHOTS DH 680 forms| Florida document | Used for | Who handles it |
|---|---|---|
| DH Form 680 | Florida school, child care, daycare, family daycare, camp, and attendance immunization proof. | Florida provider or county health department. |
| Electronic certified DH 680 | Printable certified school record when completed through Florida SHOTS. | Participating provider may issue State IMM Id and Certification PIN. |
| Temporary medical exemption | Child is completing a vaccine schedule or has temporary medical reason. | Private provider documents on DH Form 680. |
| Permanent medical exemption | Medical reason prevents one or more required vaccines. | Physician-supported documentation on DH Form 680. |
| DH Form 681 | Religious exemption from required school immunization. | County health department. |
Children, School, Daycare and Family Daycare Records
Parents and guardians often need Florida immunization records for kindergarten, new student enrollment, child care, family daycare, summer camp, sports, transfer paperwork, or seventh-grade updates. If a school or daycare asks for “immunization records,” ask whether they specifically need DH Form 680.
| Child record situation | Likely proof needed | Best action |
|---|---|---|
| Child care or family daycare | DH Form 680 or accepted exemption. | Ask pediatrician, clinic, or county health department. |
| Florida K-12 school entry | Certified DH Form 680. | Ask provider for Florida SHOTS certified form before registration week. |
| New Florida resident | Old state records reviewed for Florida school documentation. | Bring all old records to a Florida provider or county health department. |
| Lost parent copy | Replacement record or certified DH 680. | Call the child’s provider, school, or county health department. |
| Religious exemption | DH Form 681. | Contact the county health department; schools do not issue it. |
Adult Immunization Records in Florida
Adult Florida immunization records can be harder to locate because older vaccines may not be in one system. Florida DOH says there is no national database that maintains adult immunization records. Adults may need to check parents or caregivers, schools, colleges, previous employers, military records, county health departments, providers, and pharmacies.
| Adult need | Best first step | What to ask for |
|---|---|---|
| Health care job | Provider, occupational health, pharmacy, Florida SHOTS, college file. | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, Tdap, flu, COVID, TB, and required titers. |
| College or nursing school | Student health portal and prior school records. | School-specific vaccine form, dates, or lab proof. |
| Travel | Travel clinic, pharmacy, provider, and old records. | Routine vaccine dates and travel vaccine documentation. |
| Immigration exam | Civil surgeon instructions plus provider records. | Civil-surgeon-accepted vaccine proof and any accepted titers. |
| Personal file | Provider portal, pharmacy, county health department, school records. | Complete readable immunization history. |
Provider, Pharmacy, CVS, Walgreens, Publix, Walmart and Travel Clinic Records
Many adult vaccines are easiest to find through the pharmacy or provider that gave the dose. This is common for flu, COVID-19, RSV, shingles, pneumonia, Tdap, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and travel vaccines. A pharmacy dose may appear in Florida SHOTS if reported and matched, but your pharmacy profile may still be the fastest proof.
Check your CVS account, MinuteClinic records, or call the pharmacy location for a vaccine administration record.
Use the same phone, email, and profile used when the vaccine appointment was made.
Call the store pharmacy or check the pharmacy profile if the vaccine was given at Publix.
Ask the pharmacy location for a printed vaccine record if online access is not clear.
Check MyChart, AdventHealth, Baptist Health, HCA Florida, Cleveland Clinic Florida, or other patient portals.
Ask for vaccine names, exact dates, provider details, and a signed record when needed.
Florida County Health Department Help
Florida county health departments can help when records involve public health vaccines, school documentation, missing provider records, local clinic shots, or DH Form 680 questions. Florida DOH has county health departments across all 67 counties, and its county finder can help locate the correct office.
Official county finder: Find a County Health Department| If you live near | Common search intent | Best practical action |
|---|---|---|
| Miami / Miami-Dade | School records, adult vaccine history, county clinic records. | Use Florida SHOTS, provider, pharmacy, and county office support. |
| Orlando / Orange County | Child school forms, transfer records, pharmacy doses. | Ask provider for DH 680 and check county health department help if missing. |
| Tampa / Hillsborough | Florida SHOTS lookup, school enrollment, adult record recovery. | Check provider, pharmacy, county office, and old school records. |
| Jacksonville / Duval | County health department records and school vaccine proof. | Call provider first, then county public health office if records are missing. |
| Broward / Palm Beach | Adult vaccines, child forms, travel or healthcare job proof. | Search Florida SHOTS, provider portals, pharmacy records, and county help. |
What If Your Florida Immunization Record Is Missing?
A missing Florida SHOTS result does not prove the vaccine was never given. The record may be stored with an old provider, pharmacy, school, college, employer, military office, county health department, foreign record, or another state registry. It may also be listed under different identity details.
| Problem | What it may mean | What to try next |
|---|---|---|
| No record found | Name, date of birth, phone, or old address does not match. | Try previous names, guardian names, old addresses, old phone numbers, and exact birth date. |
| Child record missing | The pediatric record may be with the provider, school, or county office. | Ask provider for DH 680 and Florida SHOTS search. |
| Adult record incomplete | Older vaccines may be paper-only or stored outside Florida SHOTS. | Check parents, schools, colleges, employers, military, and old doctors. |
| Pharmacy dose missing | Dose may not have matched correctly in the registry. | Ask pharmacy for vaccine administration record and provider correction help. |
| Out-of-state vaccine | Dose may be in another state registry. | Use CDC IIS contacts for the state where the vaccine was given. |
| Doctor retired | Records may be with a successor practice or medical records custodian. | Search old office name, hospital group, health system, or county health office. |
- Retry with complete identity details. Use legal name, previous names, date of birth, guardian name, old address, and provider names.
- Contact the original vaccine provider. Ask for a vaccine administration record, chart copy, portal copy, or Florida SHOTS check.
- Check school and college files. Schools, colleges, camps, and training programs may still have records submitted earlier.
- Contact employer or military records. Occupational health and military medical files may contain adult vaccines.
- Contact the county health department. Ask whether records are on file or whether the office can help with Florida SHOTS.
- Ask a clinician about next steps. If no proof exists, a licensed provider may discuss revaccination or blood testing for certain diseases.
Titer Tests, Revaccination and Lost Florida Vaccine Proof
A titer is a blood test that may show immunity to certain diseases. Titers may help when adult childhood vaccine records are lost, especially for health care work, nursing school, medical programs, college, or immigration medical exams. But the organization asking for proof decides whether titers are accepted.
| Situation | Titers may help with | Ask before paying |
|---|---|---|
| Health care job | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B. | Ask occupational health which lab result format is accepted. |
| Nursing or medical school | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B. | Check the student health portal and clinical placement rules. |
| Immigration medical exam | Civil surgeon-reviewed proof. | Ask the civil surgeon before ordering labs. |
| K-12 or daycare | Limited situations only. | Ask school and provider what proof is acceptable for DH 680 documentation. |
Privacy and Safety Notes for Florida Immunization Records

|---|---|---|
| Unofficial lookup websites | They may collect private identity or health details. | Use Florida DOH, Florida SHOTS, provider, school, pharmacy, or county routes. |

| Requesting the wrong document | A school may reject a general record if DH 680 is required. | Ask the receiving office what exact record format it accepts. |
| Waiting until the deadline | Corrections and searches can take time. | Start early and save a secure PDF and printed copy once found. |
