How can I find my Immunisation records?

Question

I'm Irish. Emigrating to US and i need a list of all vaccines i have gotten from birth. I've been onto our Health Service people. Waited 5 weeks for something to be posted out. When i got it they only had a record of my TB Vaccine and nothing else. I know for a fact i have the polio, 2 in 1and measles, whooping cough but nothing to prove it. I got the polio vaccine in school on a sugar lump and injection. I remember that day well. My mother never had a record book. I called my Gp and was told they passed all my records onto the "HSE" (thats the healthboard I was onto in the beginning). I'm at a loss now as what to do. Maybe an Irish person on here thats been through this?? Any suggestions anyone or am i just gonna end up a human pincushion.

Answer 1

contact the local hospital, they will tell you where to get this information from xx

Answer 2

Try yourelementary school...they may have it on record.  If not, well, just call your self "pincushion."  Good luck on all your immigration papers.

Answer 3

hmm ive never had to do that so i dont know what to tell you,but maybe try going to your local citizens advice bureau..see if they can help with more advice. I mean, how can they not have your health records. The health service is understaffed at the moment, but they should still be able to find your records. Good luck.

Answer 4

you should be able to get your medical records - they will be in your own chart in your local hospital! Everyone is entitled to get there medical records! I worked for the HSE
