How do I get my immunization records sent to the Health Center?

Ask your former high school or college to release the records to the Health Center. (They must maintain records for at least eight years.)
If you are serving or have served in the military, you may bring/send your records or inform us of your service.

How do I obtain or check the immunization records that Brockport already has on file?
