If your family doctor or parents do not have your shot record, the high school where you graduated is a great place to start! They usually have records microfilmed or kept in a warehouse. It may take a few weeks to retrieve the records depending on how long it has been since the student graduated. A previous university or the military may have some of these records.

Student Health Services or your family doctor can check to see if you are protected against measles, mumps, and rubella by doing a blood test called an MMR antibody titer. The other required immunizations, tetanus/diphtheria, and meningitis can be given by appointment at Student Health once you have registered for your first semester of classes. Students are asked to keep the form until they receive the meningitis vaccine or the second dose of Hepatitis B vaccine.

Check your personal records. Be sure to ask your parents, grandparents, or guardians to see if they have them. Your pediatrician may also have them. You may also obtain records by contacting your high school or previous college that you attended to see if they are on file.

A blood titer requires a small blood draw so your antigen level or immunity can be measured directly. If you do not show immunity, you may need to have an MMR booster.
