I cant find my immunization records, although Im pretty sure I had them all. What should I do?
What you should do is contact your high school or any previous college you attended, as they will may have your records if it has been less than 7 years since you graduated. You should also check with any doctor you received primary care from (pediatrician, community health center). If all else fails and you can not find your records, you can have a blood test to check for immunity against Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (these are called titers), as well as polio, varicella, and hepatitis B. Positive immune titers can be recorded on your immunization verification sheet. You can also receive a Tetanus-diphtheria booster, regardless of when your last shot was. It is often less costly to receive repeat immunizations versus having the blood tests. Repeat immunizations is considered safe. You should discuss the options with your health care provider.
