Tips for Locating Your Immunization Records:
- At the doctor’s office or public health clinic where you got your shots
- In your family records, such as a baby book or booklet kept by your parents or guardians in which your doctor wrote your immunizations as your received them.
- At your high school
- At an institution of higher educations you have attended in the past, if they had immunization requirements.
Institutions where your immunization records might be found usually have rules for how long they are kept, so very old records may have been destroyed. Regardless of the type of vaccine documentation you have, you must submit the JMU Health Record signed by a healthcare provider. Under certain circumstances, other documentation may be accepted, but providing such documentation may delay your ability to register for classes.
