Need Florida vaccination records for school, daycare, college, healthcare work, travel, immigration, military paperwork, a new job, or your personal file? Start with the provider, pharmacy, school, county health department, or Florida SHOTS route most likely to already have the record. This guide explains the safest path, the adult request option, DH Form 680 for school, pharmacy records, county help, missing records, and how to avoid unofficial lookup sites.
For Florida vaccination records, start with the source that gave or stored the vaccine: your doctor, clinic, pharmacy, school, employer, county health department, or Florida SHOTS. Adults age 18 and older can use the Florida SHOTS record request route for their own immunization history. For children, school, daycare, and family daycare proof, ask about DH Form 680.
Official record route: Florida SHOTS record request guidanceA Florida vaccination record may not be complete in one place. Older adult shots, out-of-state vaccines, military records, pharmacy-only records, immigration records, or old paper records may require checking more than one source.

Final Audit: Safest Florida Vaccination Record Route in 2026
The safest route is not a random instant lookup page. Use official Florida Health, Florida SHOTS, your provider, pharmacy, school, county health department, employer, college, military records office, or CDC-linked state registry routes.
Official registry reference: CDC Florida IIS policy pageCall the provider, pharmacy, school, or county health department first. They may be faster than a registry request.
Adults age 18+ can use the Florida SHOTS self-request route for their own record.
Ask the child’s provider or county health department for DH Form 680 or parent PIN instructions.
Check pharmacy, old doctor, school, military, previous state registry, and county health department backups.
What Florida Vaccination Records Usually Include
Florida vaccination records are vaccine-history documents. They may show vaccine names, dose dates, provider-submitted information, clinic or pharmacy history, school certification information, COVID-19 doses, flu shots, MMR, Tdap, hepatitis B, varicella, shingles, RSV, travel vaccines, and other vaccines when those records are available from the reporting source.
Florida DOH overview: Florida immunization records and Florida SHOTSThe record is only as complete as the data source. A vaccine given in another state, by the military, at a college clinic, through a travel clinic, or before electronic reporting may not appear automatically in Florida SHOTS.
Cross-state help: CDC IIS contacts for other states| Need | Best first route | Practical tip |
|---|---|---|
| Child school record | Provider, Florida SHOTS, school, or county health department. | Ask specifically for certified DH Form 680. |
| Daycare or child care proof | Provider or county health department. | Confirm the program accepts the form before submitting. |
| Adult vaccine history | Provider, pharmacy, Florida SHOTS request, county health department. | Older adult records may be incomplete and may require several sources. |
| College or health program proof | College health portal, provider, pharmacy, or registry route. | Ask whether the school wants a PDF, printed record, provider form, or portal upload. |
| Travel, immigration, or job proof | Provider, pharmacy, employer health office, civil surgeon, or travel clinic. | Confirm the exact vaccine and proof format before relying on the record. |
What Is Florida SHOTS and How It Helps With Vaccination Records?
Florida SHOTS stands for State Health Online Tracking System. Florida DOH describes it as a statewide online immunization registry that helps parents, health care providers, and schools keep track of immunization records.
Official Florida SHOTS hub: Florida SHOTSCDC’s Florida IIS page identifies Florida’s IIS as Florida SHOTS and says it includes immunization records for vaccine recipients of all ages. That matters because adult records can exist in the registry, but they may still be incomplete if doses were never reported, were given outside Florida, or do not match the request details.
Federal IIS reference: CDC — Florida IISHelp providers, schools, public health users, and authorized users manage available immunization history.

How to Request and Download Florida Vaccination Records
Use this process when you need a clean, practical route for requesting, downloading, printing, or verifying Florida vaccination records.
- Start with the record holder most likely to already have it. For a recent vaccine, contact the doctor, clinic, pharmacy, hospital system, county health department, school, employer, or travel clinic that gave or accepted the vaccine record.
- Use Florida SHOTS official request resources when registry support is needed. Adults age 18 and older may use the Florida SHOTS self-request route for their own immunization history. Do not use the adult request route for another person’s record.
- Ask for the correct record type. For school and daycare, ask for DH Form 680. For work or college, ask whether a provider record, pharmacy record, titer, Florida SHOTS history, or official upload form is accepted.
- Check pharmacy and provider portals. CVS, Walgreens, Publix, Walmart, Costco, hospital portals, MyChart-style portals, travel clinics, and college clinics may have records that are not visible in one registry search.
- If the vaccine was outside Florida, contact that state or provider. Florida SHOTS may not automatically show vaccines given in Georgia, Alabama, Texas, California, New York, Puerto Rico, another country, or military/federal care.
- Save a clean copy once recovered. Keep a printed copy and a private PDF. Name it clearly, such as “Florida-Vaccination-Records-2026.pdf.”
- Verify before relying on it. The school, employer, college, civil surgeon, program office, or travel clinic decides what format it will accept.
Florida Adult Vaccination Records
Adults often need vaccination proof for healthcare employment, nursing school, medical assistant programs, college housing, travel, immigration medical exams, military paperwork, caregiver jobs, or personal history. Start with the provider, pharmacy, employer, school, or clinic that gave or previously accepted the vaccine record.
Adult record route: Request your immunization records through Florida SHOTS| Adult need | Best first step | What to ask for |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare job | Provider portal, pharmacy record, Florida SHOTS request, occupational health. | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, Tdap, flu, COVID-19, TB screening, or required titers. |
| Nursing or medical school | School health portal plus provider and pharmacy records. | Exact vaccine dates, school form, or accepted titer lab results. |
| Travel | Travel clinic, pharmacy, primary care office. | Routine and travel vaccine records with dates. |
| Immigration medical exam | Civil surgeon instructions plus Florida records and foreign records. | Acceptable proof before paying for titers or repeat doses. |
| Personal archive | Provider, pharmacy, Florida SHOTS, county health department. | Complete available vaccination history and a private PDF copy. |
DH Form 680: Florida School, Daycare and Child Care Vaccination Proof
DH Form 680 is the Florida Certification of Immunization. Florida DOH says Form DH 680 must be used to document immunizations required for entry and attendance in Florida schools, child care facilities, and family daycare homes.
Official child immunization page: Florida DOH child immunizationsFlorida SHOTS explains that providers can complete and electronically certify DH Form 680s for schools and daycare centers. Parents may be able to access a child’s certified DH Form 680 when the provider gives the required State IMM Id and Certification PIN.
Official 680 guidance: Florida SHOTS 680 forms| Florida document | Used for | Who handles it |
|---|---|---|
| DH Form 680 | School, daycare, childcare, camp, and attendance vaccination proof. | Florida provider, county health department, or Florida SHOTS-connected process. |
| Certified electronic DH 680 | Printable certified copy when issued through the proper Florida SHOTS process. | Participating provider may provide State IMM Id and Certification PIN. |
| Temporary medical exemption | Child is completing immunizations or has temporary medical timing issue. | Private health care provider documents it 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 immunization. | Florida county health department. |
Child Vaccination Records in Florida: Parent PIN, School Access and County Help
For a child’s Florida vaccination record, parents should usually contact the child’s doctor, pediatrician, clinic, school, or county health department. Florida SHOTS patient resources say a child’s health care provider can provide the child’s Florida Certification of Immunization, DH Form 680, for school.
Parent FAQ: Florida SHOTS patients and parents FAQsFor urgent enrollment, do not wait for a slow online request. Call the provider and ask directly: “Can you create or print my child’s current certified DH Form 680?” That wording is clearer than asking for a general shot record.
School reference: Florida Department of Education school health servicesCVS, Walgreens, Publix, Walmart, Costco and Pharmacy Vaccine Records in Florida
Many Florida adults received flu, COVID-19, RSV, shingles, pneumonia, hepatitis, Tdap, or travel vaccines at a pharmacy. Those records may appear in Florida SHOTS if properly reported and matched, but the pharmacy account is often the fastest backup route.
Use the same pharmacy chain, phone number, email, date of birth, and name used when the vaccine was given. If you changed phone numbers, used a different email, had a name change, or used a different insurance profile, ask the pharmacy to search carefully.
Old-record backup help: Tips for locating old immunization recordsCheck your account and ask the pharmacy for a printed vaccine history if needed.
Use the profile connected to the appointment phone number or email.
Call the Publix pharmacy location that administered the vaccine.
Ask the Walmart pharmacy for immunization documentation and date history.
Contact the pharmacy location directly if the record is not visible online.
Ask for vaccine names, dates, provider signature, and any travel vaccine documentation.
Florida County Health Department Help: Miami-Dade, Broward, Hillsborough, Orange, Palm Beach and Duval
County health departments can help when the provider is closed, a child needs DH Form 680, the record is missing, a school deadline is close, or a religious exemption route is needed. Florida DOH also points people to local county health departments for some record assistance.
County starting point: Florida DOH immunization guidance| Florida area | Common user intent | Best action |
|---|---|---|
| Miami-Dade | School form, daycare proof, adult vaccine history, immigration paperwork. | Call provider first, then county health department if DH 680 or record review is needed. |
| Broward | Pharmacy shots, school proof, old provider records. | Check Florida SHOTS, pharmacy account, and local health department support. |
| Hillsborough / Tampa | Pediatric records, school registration, adult work records. | Ask provider for DH Form 680 or immunization history before visiting an office. |
| Orange / Orlando | School, college, travel, and healthcare job records. | Use provider, pharmacy, Florida SHOTS, and county health department backup routes. |
| Palm Beach | School transfer, senior records, pharmacy vaccine proof. | Bring old records and ID details if county review is needed. |
| Duval / Jacksonville | School forms, military family transfers, pharmacy vaccines. | Check Florida and previous-state records if the family recently moved. |
Why Florida Vaccination Records May Be Missing
A missing Florida vaccination record does not prove that a vaccine was never received. It may mean the record was never reported, was entered under a different name, was given outside Florida, was stored in a pharmacy account, or is part of a paper-only file.
| Problem | What it means | What to try next |
|---|---|---|
| Name mismatch | Record may be under maiden name, old last name, hyphenated name, nickname, or provider spelling. | Ask provider to search by previous names and exact birth date. |
| Date of birth error | One wrong digit can block a match or create duplicate records. | Verify the birth date on old portal, school, pharmacy, and provider records. |
| Duplicate profiles | Vaccine doses may be split across two patient records. | Ask provider or county health department about duplicate record review. |
| Out-of-state vaccine | Dose may be in another state registry. | Use CDC’s IIS directory to contact the state where the shot was given. |
| Closed clinic | Old records may be with a successor practice, hospital system, or custodian. | Search the clinic name, call the health system, and ask county health department. |
| Military or VA vaccine | Federal care records may not appear in a state registry route. | Check VA, TRICARE, base clinic, or service medical records. |
Out-of-State, Military, College and International Vaccination Records
If you moved to Florida from another state, bring the full vaccine history to a Florida provider, school, county health department, employer, college, or civil surgeon. Florida SHOTS may not automatically show every vaccine given in another state.
Find other state registries: CDC IIS contact directoryIf your records are from the military, VA, a college clinic, immigration medical exam, or another country, keep the original copy and make a clean scan. The receiving office may need vaccine names, exact dates, translations, titers, or provider review before accepting the record.
Titer Tests When Florida Vaccination Records Are Lost
A titer is a blood test that can show immunity to certain diseases. It may help when adult childhood vaccination records are missing, especially for healthcare jobs, nursing school, medical assistant programs, or clinical training. But the receiving organization decides whether titers are accepted.
| Situation | Titers may help with | Ask first |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare job | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B. | Ask occupational health exactly which lab result format they accept. |
| Nursing or medical school | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B. | Ask whether positive IgG titers replace vaccine dates. |
| Immigration medical exam | Civil surgeon-reviewed proof. | Ask the civil surgeon before paying for labs. |
| Florida K–12 school | Limited situations only. | Follow Florida DOH, provider, and school instructions for DH Form 680. |
