Need a Florida vaccine record for school, daycare, college, healthcare work, travel, immigration paperwork, a pharmacy history, or your own files? Florida’s main immunization registry is Florida SHOTS. This guide explains how to request records, how DH Form 680 works, where adults should start, how to check Publix, CVS, Walgreens and provider portals, and what to do when a Florida vaccine record is missing.
To get Florida vaccine records, start with the provider, clinic, pharmacy, hospital system, school, or county health department that gave or stored the shots. Adults can request their own immunization record through the Florida SHOTS record request route. For school, daycare, camp, or child care, parents usually need DH Form 680.
Official record request: Florida SHOTS request your immunization recordsA missing record does not prove you were never vaccinated. It may mean the vaccine was given in another state, entered under a different name, held by a pharmacy, stored in a provider portal, or never reported to the Florida registry.

What Is Florida SHOTS?
Florida SHOTS stands for Florida State Health Online Tracking System. It is Florida’s statewide online immunization registry used to help providers, schools, parents, and child care programs keep track of vaccine records.
Official registry page: Florida SHOTS homeCDC lists Florida’s immunization information system as Florida SHOTS and says it includes records for vaccine recipients of all ages. That means adults should not assume the registry is only for children, although older adult records can still be incomplete if they were never reported or cannot be matched.
Federal reference: CDC Florida IIS policy pageAsk the child’s provider or county health department for a Florida vaccine history and DH Form 680 when school proof is needed.
Start with your provider, pharmacy, or Florida SHOTS adult record request if you need your own vaccine record.
Florida schools and daycare programs usually need the official Florida Certification of Immunization, not a casual screenshot.
How to Get Florida Vaccine Records Step by Step
Use this order. It starts with the fastest record holders and then moves to the official Florida SHOTS request route.
- Ask the provider, clinic, pharmacy, or health system that gave the vaccine. Ask for an “immunization history” or “Florida SHOTS vaccine record.” For children, ask if they can issue a current DH Form 680.
- Check your county health department. This helps when a provider closed, the pediatrician retired, the record is old, or a school needs Florida documentation.
- Use the Florida SHOTS record request route for adult records. Adults can request their own immunization records through the official Florida SHOTS process.
- For school, daycare, camp, or child care, ask for DH Form 680. A school may reject a pharmacy printout or portal screenshot if it requires Florida’s official school immunization certificate.
- Check pharmacy and patient portals. Many adult vaccines are easiest to find in Publix, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Costco, hospital portals, MyChart, or provider accounts.
- Check another state if the vaccine was given outside Florida. Florida SHOTS may not show vaccines from Georgia, Alabama, New York, Texas, California, Puerto Rico, or another country unless the information was added later.
- Save a clean PDF and printed copy. Once recovered, store the record safely for school, work, travel, healthcare appointments, and personal use.
Florida Adult Vaccine Records Online
Adults commonly need vaccine records for healthcare jobs, nursing school, college enrollment, travel, immigration medical exams, military paperwork, caregiver jobs, licensing boards, or personal health history. The fastest first step is usually the provider, pharmacy, clinic, or hospital system that gave the vaccine.
Official adult route: Florida SHOTS record requestWhen requesting an adult record, use your full legal name, date of birth, old names, old addresses, old phone numbers, and any provider or pharmacy details you remember. Small mismatches can cause a record search to fail.

DH Form 680: Florida Vaccine Record for School, Daycare and Child Care
DH Form 680 is the Florida Certification of Immunization. Florida SHOTS explains that providers can complete and electronically certify DH Form 680s for proof of vaccination at schools and daycare centers.
Official DH 680 guide: Florida SHOTS 680 formsParents should not download a random blank form and try to fill it out themselves. A Florida provider or county health department must review the vaccine history and issue or certify the correct document. When electronically certified, parents may be able to print a copy using the State IMM Id and Certification PIN provided by the participating provider.
Parent help: Florida SHOTS patients and parents FAQs| Florida document | Used for | Who handles it |
|---|---|---|
| DH Form 680 | School, daycare, child care, camp, and attendance immunization proof. | Florida provider or county health department. |
| Electronic DH Form 680 | Printable certified copy when created through Florida SHOTS. | Participating provider gives State IMM Id and Certification PIN. |

Can You Download a Florida Immunization Form PDF?
Many people search for a Florida vaccine record PDF or Florida immunization form PDF because a school, daycare, sports program, camp, or college asks for proof. The safe answer is simple: do not use an unofficial blank PDF from a random website for school enrollment.
Official form workflow: Florida SHOTS DH Form 680 informationFor personal files, a PDF copy of your vaccine history may be useful. For Florida school and daycare proof, ask for an official DH Form 680 or electronically certified copy from a participating provider or county health department.
Florida County Health Department Help: Miami-Dade, Broward, Orange, Hillsborough, Duval and Palm Beach
County health departments are useful when the provider cannot find the record, the doctor retired, a child needs DH Form 680, or an old vaccine history needs review. Large Florida searches often include Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, and West Palm Beach, but the same logic applies statewide.
State immunization hub: Florida Department of Health immunizations| If you live near | Common intent | Best action |
|---|---|---|
| Miami / Miami-Dade | Florida vaccine records for school, work, or immigration. | Check provider, pharmacy, county health department, and Florida SHOTS record request. |
| Fort Lauderdale / Broward | School vaccine record or adult shot history. | Ask provider for Florida SHOTS history or DH Form 680 if school proof is needed. |
| Orlando / Orange County | Child school form, college record, or provider record. | Call pediatrician, school, college health portal, or county health department. |
| Tampa / Hillsborough | County vaccine records or Florida SHOTS help. | Start with provider or pharmacy, then contact county health department if missing. |
| Jacksonville / Duval | School enrollment or adult vaccine history. | Ask for exact vaccine dates and DH Form 680 when applicable. |
| West Palm Beach / Palm Beach | Provider, pharmacy, or school vaccine proof. | Check old names, old phone numbers, and previous providers before giving up. |
Publix, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart and Pharmacy Vaccine Records in Florida
Many Florida adults received vaccines at a pharmacy. Flu, COVID-19, RSV, shingles, pneumonia, hepatitis, Tdap, and travel vaccines may be easiest to find in a pharmacy account before they are found in a registry search.
Old-record backup guide: Tips for locating old immunization recordsUse the same pharmacy chain, phone number, email, and date of birth used at the appointment. If you used a family member’s account or changed phone numbers, call the exact pharmacy location directly.

COVID, Flu, RSV, Shingles and Adult Vaccine Records in Florida
Adult vaccine searches are often not about childhood records. They are about COVID-19, flu, RSV, shingles, pneumonia, Tdap, hepatitis, or travel vaccines received at a pharmacy, workplace clinic, county clinic, hospital, or travel office.
| Vaccine type | Common place given | Where to check first |
|---|---|---|
| COVID-19 | Pharmacy, clinic, employer, provider, county site. | Pharmacy account, provider portal, county record, Florida SHOTS request. |
| Flu | Pharmacy, workplace, doctor office. | Pharmacy profile, employer clinic, provider portal. |
| RSV | Pharmacy or provider office. | Pharmacy account or medical record portal. |
| Shingles | Pharmacy or primary care office. | Pharmacy account and primary care record. |
| Travel vaccines | Travel clinic, pharmacy, county clinic. | Travel clinic record and pharmacy profile. |
Why Your Florida Vaccine Record May Be Missing
A missing Florida vaccine record can happen for ordinary reasons. Older childhood records may have been paper-only. A pharmacy shot may be under a different phone number. A provider may have entered a nickname. A dose from another state may never have been added to Florida SHOTS.
Find other state records: CDC state immunization registry contacts| Problem | What it means | What to try next |
|---|---|---|
| Name mismatch | Record may be under maiden name, old name, hyphenated name, or nickname. | Ask provider to search old names and exact date of birth. |
| Wrong birth date | One digit can block a match. | Verify date of birth on provider and pharmacy profiles. |
| Duplicate profiles | Vaccine history may be split between two records. | Ask provider or county health department to check for duplicate entries. |
| Out-of-state vaccine | Dose may be in another state registry. | Contact the state where the vaccine was given. |
| Closed clinic | Old records may be with a successor practice or records custodian. | Search the clinic name and call the health system or county health department. |
| Military or VA vaccine | Record may be in federal or military health systems. | Check VA, TRICARE, base clinic, or service medical records. |
Florida Vaccine Records vs Full Medical Records
A vaccine record is not the same as your full medical record. A vaccine record usually lists vaccine names, dose dates, and sometimes provider details. A full medical record can include doctor notes, diagnoses, lab results, medications, procedures, imaging, hospital records, and visit summaries.
For vaccine records, use Florida SHOTS record request. For full medical records, contact the provider or hospital medical records department.| Need | Ask for | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| School vaccine proof | DH Form 680. | Pediatrician, provider, or county health department. |
| Adult vaccine history | Immunization history or Florida SHOTS record. | Provider, pharmacy, Florida SHOTS request. |
| Full hospital chart | Complete medical record or visit records. | Hospital medical records department. |
| Proof of immunity | Titer lab results. | Doctor, lab, school, employer, or civil surgeon instructions. |
Titer Tests When Florida Vaccine Records Are Lost
A titer is a blood test that checks immunity to some diseases. It may help when adult childhood records are lost, especially for healthcare jobs, nursing school, medical programs, and some immigration medical exams. But the organization asking for proof decides whether titers are accepted.
| Situation | Titers may help with | Ask before paying |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare job | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B. | Ask occupational health which lab format they accept. |
| Nursing or medical school | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B. | Ask whether positive IgG titers replace vaccine dates. |
| Immigration exam | Civil-surgeon-reviewed proof. | Ask the civil surgeon before ordering labs. |
| School or daycare | Limited situations only. | Follow Florida DOH, provider, and school instructions for DH Form 680. |
