Request the Right Texas Immunization Record
Texas does not give every resident a public ImmTrac2 account for instantly downloading a lifetime vaccine record. Your fastest copy may already be with a doctor, pharmacy, school or local public-health office, while an official Texas registry history uses the DSHS release process.
This guide separates record release, registry consent and professional login, then shows what to enter on the current form, where to send it, what to do before age 26, how to recover missing doses and how to prepare proof for school, college or work.
If you know who gave the vaccine, ask that provider or pharmacy first. For an available official Texas Immunization Registry history, use Form F11-11406 — Authorization to Release Official Immunization History. Adults should also check their ImmTrac2 adult-consent status, especially between ages 18 and 26.

Before sending the record directly to a school or employer
What your ImmTrac2 search result means
The office-use section of the official release form shows three distinct outcomes. Each requires a different next step.
| Result | Meaning | Best next action |
|---|---|---|
| Record Released | A matching client record with available reported immunization information was located. | Review every vaccine, administration date and identity field immediately. |
| Record Not Found | The submitted information did not produce an available matching ImmTrac2 history. | Check consent, former names, date of birth, providers, schools, pharmacies and other state registries. |
| Record Found, but No Immunizations Reported | A client profile was located but no vaccine entries were available in that profile. | Contact the administering providers and pharmacies and ask them to verify their records and reporting. |
What happens between ages 18 and 26?
Texas uses explicit consent for ImmTrac2 participation. Someone registered as a child must provide adult consent after turning 18 if they want their information retained as an adult.
| Age or situation | What it means | Recommended record action |
|---|---|---|
| Under 18 | Parent, legal guardian or managing conservator controls minor consent. | Use the child’s provider and C-7 when registry consent is needed. |
| Turned 18 | Childhood consent does not continue indefinitely as adult consent. | Review F11-13366 and request a permanent personal copy. |
| 18–25 | A childhood record may still be retained while adult consent has not yet been completed. | Resolve adult consent before the 26th birthday and request the history now. |
| Approaching 26 | An existing childhood registry history may be at risk of deletion without adult consent. | Contact a registered provider, local health department or ImmTrac2 promptly. |
| 26+ without adult consent | DSHS says the childhood registry record is deleted when required adult consent is not submitted by the 26th birthday. | Reconstruct the history from other record holders. |

How to correct a Texas immunization record
The release form states that individuals may ask the state to correct information determined to be incorrect. When the problem involves a vaccine administration, start with the provider or pharmacy that administered the dose because that organization can verify the original clinical event.
| Problem | Useful evidence | First contact |
|---|---|---|
| Wrong legal name | Provider demographic file and appropriate identity documentation if requested. | Provider that created or last updated the profile. |
| Wrong birth date | Provider chart or other authoritative demographic documentation. | Provider and ImmTrac2 support if necessary. |
| Missing vaccine | Provider chart, pharmacy history, administration receipt or official vaccine card. | Administering provider or pharmacy. |
| Wrong administration date | Visit note or administration record. | Organization that administered/reported the dose. |
| Duplicate profiles | Former names, old addresses, matching DOB and overlapping vaccine history. | Registered provider, local public-health office or ImmTrac2 support. |
What to do when the record is needed urgently
- Call the receiving organization first.
- Ask exactly which document is missing.
- Call the provider/pharmacy that already has the record.
- Ask whether direct provider fax or portal PDF is acceptable.
- Submit F11-11406.
- Contact provider and pharmacy the same day.
- Contact previous school or college.
- Check another state immediately if applicable.
- Recover the complete history from all sources.
- Resolve duplicate/missing doses.
- Check adult consent.
- Ask the receiving office to pre-review the record.
Prepare Texas school immunization proof correctly
Texas school documentation should clearly identify the student and show complete vaccination dates. Ask the school nurse which vaccine, dose, date or record-validation requirement is missing before requesting a replacement document.
| Situation | Useful record source | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| New Texas enrollment | Provider, local public health, prior school or ImmTrac2. | Ask exactly which vaccines and dates need documentation. |
| Texas school transfer | Previous Texas school health record. | Ask the receiving school to request the previous immunization record and follow up with the former registrar. |
| Out-of-state transfer | Former school, provider and prior-state registry. | Bring the full official history for Texas review. |
| Series is incomplete | Validated dose history plus current vaccine schedule. | Ask whether provisional enrollment applies and when the next dose becomes due. |
| Homeless or foster-care student | Previous school, caseworker, provider and registry. | Ask the school for the staff member responsible for enrollment protections and record recovery. |
Provisional enrollment does not mean “ignore the record”
A student completing a required series generally must have started the series before provisional enrollment can apply.
Remaining required doses must be received as soon as medically feasible under the applicable rule.
Provisional enrollment is temporary. The school monitors whether the student continues to meet the conditions.
Laboratory evidence
Texas school immunization exemption records changed
Texas DSHS now posts a blank reasons-of-conscience immunization exemption affidavit, stock F11-11755, that eligible users can download and print instead of always waiting for a mailed blank affidavit.
Texas college meningococcal proof
Covered entering students generally need proof of an initial meningococcal vaccination or booster received during the five years before enrollment and at least 10 days before the semester begins.
| Proof | What it must show | Where to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Provider/public-health form | Signature or stamp and month/day/year of vaccination or booster. | Doctor, clinic, pharmacy or public-health personnel. |
| State/local health-authority record | Official record showing the administration date. | ImmTrac2 or another official jurisdictional registry. |
| Official school record | Vaccination documentation received from school officials. | Texas or out-of-state school. |
Students commonly outside the college meningococcal requirement
Clinical programs may need more detailed proof than ordinary college enrollment
Texas has separate rules for students whose coursework creates direct exposure to patients, blood, bodily fluids, animals or animal remains.
Documentation can include tetanus-containing vaccination, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B and varicella requirements before direct patient-contact activities.
Special provisional rules may apply when at least one dose of each specified vaccine has been received and the student completes the series on schedule.
Additional documentation can involve rabies, tetanus-containing vaccination and hepatitis B depending on the exposure involved.
Find doses that are missing from the state history
| Vaccination source | Where to look | What to request |
|---|---|---|
| CVS / MinuteClinic | Account used for booking and administering location. | Full immunization history and administration record. |
| Walgreens | Current and old profiles, phone numbers and emails. | Vaccine name and exact administration date. |
| H-E-B, Walmart, Costco or another pharmacy | Exact store/clinic. | Printed or electronic vaccination history. |
| Healthcare employer | Employee health or occupational health. | Previously submitted vaccine records and accepted laboratory documentation. |
| Military or VA | Service medical records, TRICARE, military clinic or VA system. | Complete service immunization history. |

If the former provider closed
ImmTrac2 is not a replacement for every travel certificate
A standard Texas immunization history and an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis are different documents.
Texas DSHS says it does not routinely manage or maintain yellow-fever-specific International Certificates of Vaccination or Prophylaxis.
Contact the physician or clinic that administered the yellow fever vaccine first.
The vaccination may appear in an available ImmTrac2 history when registry consent existed and the administering provider reported the dose, but not every yellow fever vaccination will be present.
Search every state where vaccines were administered
A Texas ImmTrac2 history may not automatically contain every dose administered in another jurisdiction. Request the official record from the state or provider that actually administered the vaccination.
Useful for North Texas residents who received vaccinations in Oklahoma.
Use Louisiana’s state record route for vaccines administered in Louisiana.
New Mexico has its own NMSIIS/VaxViewNM record system.
Check the provider, pharmacy and correct state registry connected with each dose.

Texas immunization records FAQs
How do I request Texas immunization records?
Ask the provider, pharmacy, school or local public-health office first when it already holds the record. For an available official ImmTrac2 history, complete Texas DSHS Form F11-11406 and submit it using the current official instructions.
Can I log into ImmTrac2 myself and download my record?
The main ImmTrac2 portal is for authorized organizations and users. Residents generally obtain personal records through providers, pharmacies, schools, public-health offices or the F11-11406 release process rather than creating an organization account.
What is the current Texas immunization record release form?
The current direct DSHS PDF is F11-11406, Authorization to Release Official Immunization History, and the PDF shows a May 2026 revision date.
Where do I send F11-11406?
Texas DSHS lists ImmTrac2@dshs.texas.gov for public record requests. The official form also lists fax 512-776-7790 and the Texas Immunization Registry MC 1946 mailing address in Austin.
Can a parent request a child’s ImmTrac2 history?
Yes. On F11-11406, enter the child as the client and complete the requester section as the parent, legal guardian or managing conservator, then sign and date the authorization.
What happens when an ImmTrac2 participant turns 18?
A person registered as a child needs adult consent after turning 18 to continue participation. Texas DSHS says the childhood record is held until age 26 and deleted if the required adult consent has not been submitted by the 26th birthday.
What does “Record Found, but No Immunizations Reported” mean?
It means DSHS located a matching ImmTrac2 client profile but no vaccine entries were available in that profile. Check providers, pharmacies, schools, local public-health clinics and other state registries.
What if ImmTrac2 says my record was not found?
Check consent status, former names, date-of-birth errors, duplicate profiles, providers, pharmacies, previous schools, military records, local health departments and every state where vaccinations were administered.
Can ImmTrac2 proof be used for Texas college meningococcal requirements?
Texas DSHS lists an official immunization record generated by a state or local health authority among acceptable meningococcal proof formats. The receiving college should confirm that the record shows a qualifying vaccination date.
Can I download a Texas school immunization exemption affidavit?
Yes. Texas DSHS now makes the blank F11-11755 reasons-of-conscience affidavit available for download. It must be completed and notarized before submission, and the affidavit is valid for two years from the notarization date.
What if my former Texas provider closed?
Contact the successor practice, hospital system, medical-record custodian, previous school, pharmacy, insurer for provider clues and local public-health office. Also check ImmTrac2 and any other states where vaccines were administered.
Can ImmTrac2 replace a lost yellow fever card?
Not necessarily. Texas DSHS says it does not routinely manage yellow-fever-specific International Certificates of Vaccination or Prophylaxis. Contact the clinic that administered the yellow fever vaccine first.
