UH oh! What do I do now? I can't find my immunization records ANYWHERE!!!!?

Question

I've looked all over and I can't find my immunization records. I called my old doctor and he explained that they misplaced (aka. LOST) several patients immunization records (i have a new doctor now, but I was never able to transfer the records.) Also, I was homeschooled so no local school will have a copy of them. I've called everywhere to try to find them and they are just...GONE!

I need my immunization records to get into school now...what do I do?

I won't have to start over will I? That would be a lot of shots....

Answer 1

You might be able to contact your local health department to see if they have your records.

Answer 2

No, you absolutely do not have to get new shots.  I am not sure where you can call to get them, But I do know that if you go to a public school, it is not required for you to start school.  Your parents can sign a waiver.  I didn't have any shots when I was in school.  My Dad had to argue with them a little, but they have to teach you regardless of whether or not you have your shots.  But at any rate, I don't think it would be healthy for you to get the shots again.
