Although immunization records are a critical part of your personal health information, in most states, the responsibility of maintaining accurate vaccination records falls upon the individual. This makes recovering and storing these records as an adult a difficult yet important task.

Where do I look?
1. Check with all previous health care providers.
Don't forget that immunizations can be given at places other than your physician's office, such as neighborhood or travel clinics.

2. Ask parents and guardians.
Copies of vaccination records are kept with the administering physician as well as with parents or guardians. Many times these family records are kept in old baby books, or with school and camp medical history forms.

3. Check with high schools and college health services.
Many schools require vaccinations upon enrollment and may keep these records on hand for several years.

4. Ask previous employers, including the military.

5. Check with your state's Immunization Information System (IIS)
If your state does not have an IIS, check with your health department.

Where do I store recovered records?
Once collected, finding a secure location to store and organize your records is key, to avoid having to hunt for these records again in the future. Orggit offers the peace of mind of knowing that your documents are completely safe, yet always available to you whenever you may need them. Think of this as the online storage solution for your essential family records.

Orggit users can choose between uploading scans of the original records, or typing in the important vaccination information (such as type and date) in easy to follow prompts.

The next time you need to produce these records, simply print a medical report from your Orggit account to share with your physicians. You can also access Orggit anytime by downloading the Orggit iPhone Application.
