Request Your Texas Immunization Record Without Using the Wrong Form
Texas residents generally do not use a public ImmTrac2 patient login. The fastest record may already be with a doctor, pharmacy, school or local health department, while a formal Texas Immunization Registry release uses DSHS Form F11-11406.
The main complication is consent: requesting an existing history and consenting to keep information in ImmTrac2 are different tasks. This guide separates those workflows and explains adult age rules, child records, request delivery, school proof and missing-record recovery.
do not upload a completed ImmTrac2 form, signature, birth date, vaccine history, child information, Social Security number, provider login or identity documents to this independent guide. Send private information only through the official Texas DSHS, provider, pharmacy, school or public-health route you intentionally choose.

Which Texas immunization-record task are you actually trying to complete?
Ask the record holder first
Contact the doctor, pharmacy, school, college, local health department, occupational-health office or military source that may already possess the record.
- Ask for a complete immunization history.
- Ask for month/day/year administration dates.
- Ask whether the source can access or has reported to ImmTrac2.
- Confirm whether the receiving organization accepts that document.
Use F11-11406
This authorizes Texas DSHS to release an available official immunization history from ImmTrac2.
- Adult client can request self.
- Parent can request an available child record.
- Legal guardian can request an available child record.
- Managing conservator can request an available child record.
Resolve adult consent
Texas DSHS currently says people 18+ must sign the Adult Consent Form when requesting/maintaining ImmTrac2 records.
The age-26 deadline is critical if childhood history was retained from a minor registration.
Do not confuse C-7 with a record request
C-7 grants minor participation consent. F11-11406 is the authorization used to request release of the available official history.
“Do you specifically need an official ImmTrac2 history, or will you accept an appropriately validated provider, public-health, school or other health-authority record?”
Choose a route based on how soon the record is needed
Call the provider, pharmacy, school, college or local health department first. These offices may already hold acceptable proof.
Request local copies and submit F11-11406 in parallel if an official ImmTrac2 release may still be needed.
Use the official registry-release workflow and reconstruct missing records systematically.
Request workload and record matching can vary. Do not build a school or employment deadline around an unofficial “exact turnaround” estimate.
Use F11-11406 to request an available official ImmTrac2 history
F11-11406 is titled Texas Immunization Registry (ImmTrac2) Authorization to Release Official Immunization History.
the live Texas DSHS forms page and current direct PDF show Revised 05/2026. A DSHS public FAQ can still display 02/2026 beside F11-11406. Use the forms page or current direct PDF rather than an old downloaded copy.
Confirm stock number F11-11406 and current revision before completing it.
The client is the person whose official immunization history is being requested.
Complete the receiving person/organization information.
The form allows fax, mail to the listed address or email.
The current form explicitly says requestor information must be completed in its entirety.
Choose Adult Client/Self, Parent, Legal Guardian or Managing Conservator for a child.
Make sure the authorization is complete before sending it.
Texas DSHS currently instructs people age 18+ to sign the Adult Consent Form.
Public DSHS guidance currently supports email, fax and mail for record requests; provider/local-health routes can also help.
Keep the signed form, submission date and any email/fax confirmation privately.
Exact information requested on the current F11-11406
| Section | Current information requested | Practical check |
|---|---|---|
| Client identity | First, middle and last name; date of birth; sex field printed on the form. | Use accurate legal/source-record information. |
| Client address | Address, apartment/building, city, state, ZIP and county. | Complete county and apartment/building when applicable. |
| Recipient | Name/organization, address, city, state, ZIP and telephone. | Use the exact department or office when sending directly to a school/employer. |
| Final delivery | Fax, mail to listed address, or email address. | Do not select a delivery method without completing its destination. |
| Requestor | Printed name, address, apartment/building, city, state, ZIP, county, email if available and telephone. | Do not stop after filling only the client’s information. |
| Relationship | Adult Client/Self, Parent, Legal Guardian or Managing Conservator for a child. | Select the relationship that actually applies. |
| Authorization | Signature and date. | Review all delivery information before signing. |
the current F11-11406 itself does not print a universal instruction requiring every requester to attach a driver license, passport or other photo ID. Do not send extra identity documents merely because an unofficial site tells you to. Follow additional identity instructions only when an official office asks for them.
the current F11-11406 PDF contains both language versions.

How you send the request is different from how the final record is delivered
This is how the completed authorization reaches Texas DSHS—for example public-request email, fax or mail.
This is where F11-11406 instructs DSHS to send the resulting record—email, fax or the listed mailing address.
you may email the signed authorization to DSHS while asking the final official history to be faxed directly to an authorized recipient listed on the form.
Immunization records contain sensitive health information. Verify the recipient email, fax number or postal address before signing.
Three outcomes printed directly on F11-11406
A matching available ImmTrac2 history was located and released.
The search did not locate the expected registry record using the information available.
A client profile exists, but no immunization events are reported in that record.
| Result | Check next | Do not assume |
|---|---|---|
| Record Released | Compare expected vaccines, providers and exact dates. | That ImmTrac2 contains every lifetime dose. |
| Record Not Found | Consent, providers, pharmacy, schools, other states, name/DOB history. | That the person was never vaccinated. |
| No Immunizations Reported | Original administering providers and reporting history. | That an empty registry profile is the only available record. |
“I submitted F11-11406 on [date]. If the search has been completed, can you tell me whether the result is Record Released, Record Not Found, or Record Found but No Immunizations Reported, and whether additional information is required?”
Do not use a Texas consent form when you only need a record copy
| Form | Primary purpose | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|
| F11-11406 | Authorize release of an available official immunization history. | Using a consent form instead when the real task is obtaining a copy. |
| F11-13366 | Adult consent for ImmTrac2 registration/participation. | Assuming signing adult consent alone tells DSHS where to deliver an official requested copy. |
| C-7 | Minor consent for a child younger than 18. | Using it instead of F11-11406 when a parent simply needs the child’s existing record. |
| C-8 | Withdrawal of consent. | Confusing removal/withdrawal with record retrieval. |
What the current F11-13366 Adult Consent Form asks for
Texas DSHS currently tells people age 18 and older to complete an adult consent form for ImmTrac2 participation. Its 2026 Adult Consent Form is F11-13366.
the current F11-13366 tells providers registered with the Texas Immunization Registry to enter the client information, affirm that consent was granted, not fax the provider-held consent form to the registry, and retain it in the client’s record.
If childhood records are in ImmTrac2, address adult consent before age 26
Texas DSHS says a child registered in ImmTrac2 must sign an adult consent form at age 18.
DSHS says childhood immunization records are held until the participant turns 26.
This is the important preservation step for a childhood history retained from minor participation.
Texas DSHS says the immunization records are deleted when the required adult consent was not submitted by the 26th birthday.
Verify adult consent while the childhood record is still within the retention window.
“I participated in ImmTrac2 as a child and I am now [age]. Please tell me whether adult consent has been recorded and what current official route I should use to preserve and request my childhood history before age 26.”
Over 26 with no preserved childhood ImmTrac2 history?
If childhood information was deleted because adult consent was not completed within the retention period, a new consent cannot guarantee recovery of information that no longer exists in ImmTrac2.

How to request a child’s Texas immunization record
Request a complete immunization history and ask whether the provider participates in ImmTrac2.
Texas uses a consent-based registry.
Compare the provider’s clinical record with the registry history.
Enter the child as client and complete the authorized adult requestor section.
Parent, Legal Guardian or Managing Conservator for a child are printed on the current release form.
Consent and record release solve different problems.
“I need my child’s complete Texas immunization history for [school/childcare/personal records]. Please compare your clinical record with ImmTrac2, confirm whether current minor consent exists and tell me whether every vaccine your office administered was reported.”
What the current Texas Minor Consent Form asks for
C-7 is used when a parent, legal guardian or managing conservator grants ImmTrac2 consent for a client younger than 18.
the current C-7 tells an ImmTrac2-registered provider to enter the client information, affirm that consent was granted, not fax the provider-held consent form to ImmTrac2, and retain the form in the client’s record.
Record-release and consent mailing instructions should not be assumed to be identical
The current release PDF and DSHS Request Records section both use MC 1946.
Current DSHS materials are not perfectly aligned: the Programs page lists MC 1947 for enrollment, while current consent-form footers display MC 1946.
If you are mailing F11-13366 or C-7 directly rather than working through a registered provider or local health department, confirm the current mailing instruction with ImmTrac2 before sending the form.
use the MC 1946 address printed on the current release form unless Texas DSHS updates the form.
ImmTrac2 is not an ordinary public patient-login portal
ImmTrac2 online registry access is intended for authorized organizations and users. A resident who only needs their own or their child’s vaccine history should use the consumer record-request routes rather than trying to obtain organizational credentials.
- Provider or pharmacy.
- School or college.
- Local health department.
- F11-11406 official release.
- Consent form when participation must be addressed.
- Approved organization access.
- Assigned credentials.
- Authorized registry purpose.
- Organization-level privacy responsibilities.
Why ImmTrac2 may not contain the complete Texas vaccine history
Registry information depends on Texas consent requirements.
Childhood history may become unavailable after age 18 and can be deleted after age 26.
The original clinical chart may contain a dose not shown in the registry.
Older histories may predate practical electronic registry reporting.
Another state, country, military system or federal source may hold the record.
Older source records can use different identity information.
A successor practice, hospital network or chart custodian may hold the original record.
The administering pharmacy may have documentation not present in the returned history.
A former school may retain previously submitted official evidence.
This is a specific F11-11406 search outcome.
Best recovery order
Ask for the original administration record.
Compare source history with registry history.
Ask for its complete immunization history.
Ask for previously accepted vaccination documentation.
Ask whether that office can assist with an available ImmTrac2 search or record route.
Use the other jurisdiction’s official IIS or provider.
These systems may hold separate documentation.
Do not repeat a vaccination solely because one registry result is incomplete. Give all available evidence to the appropriate healthcare professional for medical decisions.
How to investigate a Texas immunization-record correction
The F11-11406 privacy notice states that individuals can ask the state agency to correct information determined to be incorrect. For a vaccine event, start with the administering organization because it can verify the source clinical record.
| Detail | Where to find it | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Vaccine name | Provider portal, pharmacy history, card or visit summary. | Identifies the exact event. |
| Administration date | Clinical record, pharmacy record, receipt or claim. | Narrows the encounter. |
| Administering organization | Clinic, pharmacy, employer or public-health record. | Identifies who can verify the source event. |
| Name/DOB at visit | Provider profile or insurance information. | Can explain matching discrepancies. |
| Manufacturer/lot when available | Detailed administration record. | Adds precise source verification. |
“My immunization history is missing or incorrectly lists [vaccine/date]. Please locate the original administration record, verify the identity information used for that encounter and confirm whether the vaccination was reported correctly to ImmTrac2.”
Provider and pharmacy records may solve the problem before DSHS does
- Request complete immunization history.
- Ask whether consent exists.
- Ask whether each administered dose was reported.
- Verify legal name and DOB.
- Ask whether the office can print an ImmTrac2 history.
- Contact the administering store.
- Check immunization—not prescription—history.
- Try old phone/email account details.
- Request administration dates.
- Ask whether each dose was reported to ImmTrac2.
“I received [vaccine] at this location around [date]. Please provide the administration record and tell me whether the vaccination was reported to ImmTrac2.”
Use a local health department or DSHS public-health region when appropriate
Texas DSHS maintains directories and location tools for local public-health organizations. Services vary by jurisdiction, so call before traveling.
“I need help locating a Texas immunization history for [purpose]. Can your office search or print an available ImmTrac2 record, or tell me which official request/consent process I should use?”
Recover records after a Texas medical practice closes
- Call the old practice telephone number for a successor-practice message.
- Contact the hospital system or medical group previously associated with the provider.
- Ask whether an archived-record custodian received the charts.
- Check previous schools or colleges for records you submitted.
- Check pharmacy immunization history.
- Request any available ImmTrac2 history.
- Check other states where vaccinations occurred.
A school copy, pharmacy printout and provider record may together reconstruct a history even when no single source is complete.
Texas schools can accept more than one kind of immunization record
The current 2026–2027 DSHS K–12 guidance explains how vaccination documentation can be validated.
| Document | Current DSHS rule | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Personal/provider immunization record | Can be acceptable when validated by a physician or public-health personnel. | Validation can include signature, initials or stamp. |
| Electronic health-record immunization history | Must include clinic contact information, provider signature/stamp, vaccine name and vaccination date. | Do not rely on a bare portal screenshot missing validation details. |
| Official health-authority record | Accepted by current DSHS guidance. | An official ImmTrac2 history is one route. |
| Official school record | An official record received from school officials can be acceptable. | Ask the previous school to transmit the full record. |
| Official school record from another state | Specifically recognized by the current Texas guidance. | This can save time for transfer students. |
current DSHS school documentation uses vaccination dates in month/day/year format.
current Texas K–12 guidance recognizes serologic evidence for certain diseases in specified circumstances. That does not make antibody testing a universal replacement for a missing record. Ask the school and healthcare professional before ordering testing.
A missing record does not automatically qualify a student for provisional enrollment
Texas DSHS lists specific provisional-enrollment situations. The correct school decision depends on the student’s circumstances and documented immunization status.
Students transferring from one Texas public or private school to another can fall within specific provisional rules.
DSHS also identifies qualifying homeless students, active-duty military dependents and children in foster care.
A student who has received at least one dose of each applicable age-appropriate required vaccine and is not overdue can qualify under the in-progress rule.
a school nurse or administrator reviews the status of a provisionally enrolled student every 30 days to ensure continued compliance.
Current Texas DSHS guidance says an exemption cannot simply be chosen because a record is lost or incomplete and obtaining/correcting it is inconvenient.
Ask which document is accepted before chasing another copy
| Purpose | Check first | Ask the recipient |
|---|---|---|
| College admission | Provider, prior school, ImmTrac2 and student-health portal. | Which specific upload or form is accepted? |
| Healthcare training | Provider, pharmacy, ImmTrac2 and program portal. | Does the program require its own signed verification form? |
| Healthcare employment | Occupational health, provider, pharmacy and ImmTrac2. | What exact evidence does employee health accept? |
| Military | ImmTrac2, provider, school and military records. | Does the recruiter need a full official history or another military form? |
| Travel | Provider, travel clinic and official destination requirements. | Is a standard immunization history sufficient? |
Texas DSHS says it does not routinely maintain yellow-fever-specific International Certificates of Vaccination or Prophylaxis. Contact the vaccinating physician or clinic first. A reported yellow-fever vaccination may appear in ImmTrac2, but that is not guaranteed.
ImmTrac2 is not a universal national vaccine-record database
Include childhood, college, military, employment and travel periods.
Use the original provider, pharmacy, school or state IIS.
Build one private lifetime file containing the best official evidence from every source.
This can help the provider maintain a more complete clinical history.
Who should you contact for Texas immunization-record help?

Requesting immunization records Texas FAQs
How do I request my Texas immunization records?
Start with the provider, pharmacy, school or local health department most likely to already have the history. For an official available ImmTrac2 record, use Texas DSHS Form F11-11406.
What is the current Texas ImmTrac2 record-request form?
F11-11406 is the Authorization to Release Official Immunization History. The current direct Texas DSHS PDF reviewed for this guide is revised 05/2026.
Can I email the Texas immunization-record request?
Current Texas DSHS public guidance directs members of the public requesting an ImmTrac2 shot record to ImmTrac2@dshs.texas.gov. Fax and mail routes are also available.
Do I need to attach photo ID to F11-11406?
The current F11-11406 itself does not print a universal requirement that every requester attach photo identification. Follow any additional identity instructions given directly by Texas DSHS rather than automatically sending unnecessary sensitive documents.
What happens to ImmTrac2 records when a child turns 18?
Texas DSHS says a child registered in ImmTrac2 must sign an Adult Consent Form after turning 18. Childhood records are held until age 26 while adult consent is pending. If adult consent is not submitted by the 26th birthday, DSHS says those immunization records are deleted.
What is the difference between F11-11406 and F11-13366?
F11-11406 authorizes release of an available official ImmTrac2 history. F11-13366 grants adult consent for ImmTrac2 registration and participation. An adult requesting records may need to address both issues.
How do I request my child’s Texas vaccine record?
Ask the child’s healthcare provider first. For a formal ImmTrac2 release, use F11-11406 and identify the authorized requester as Parent, Legal Guardian or Managing Conservator for a child. C-7 is the minor consent form, not the record-release form.
What if ImmTrac2 says “Record Not Found”?
Check consent history, original providers, pharmacies, previous schools, local public health, former names, other states and military or employer records. A registry search that does not find a record does not prove the person was never vaccinated.
Can an ImmTrac2 record be used for Texas school enrollment?
An official health-authority record can be acceptable under current Texas DSHS school documentation rules. Properly validated provider/public-health records and qualifying official school records can also be acceptable.
Does a lost vaccine record automatically qualify a Texas student for an exemption or 30-day provisional enrollment?
No. Texas DSHS says an exemption cannot simply be chosen because locating or correcting a record is inconvenient, and provisional enrollment is limited to students who meet specific eligibility criteria.
