How do I obtain a copy of my shot record?

Shot records are maintained by the doctor or clinic that gave you your shots. If you received your shots from the immunization clinic you can request a copy of your records in person or via mail. Copies of shot records are free of charge.

Requests in person can be made at the Immunization Clinic during regular business hours. When requesting a record by mail make sure to include the full name (maiden name, if applicable) and the date of birth of the person whose record is needed, and the address where the record should be mailed. The complete request should be mailed to the Public Health Clinic address (on right).

Records can be faxed to another doctor or clinic at no charge upon receiving a signed record release from the office.
