Implied consent. Immunization records are confidential medical information—however—health-care providers involved in the care of a patient may share their records with the patients’ other providers. Thus, information like immunization records may be shared between medical professionals without express written consent.

Regardless of where you live in Florida or how often you change physicians, when your child’s shot records are in the Florida SHOTS database, they become part of a permanent record that’s available to any medical provider in the state.
Make sure your child’s records are in Florida SHOTS and you’ll never again have to worry about where you filed them or which moving box they may be in.
To have your child’s immunization records included in Florida SHOTS, your child’s doctor must enroll.
The enrollment process is free, fast and easy for your child’s physician, and ensures that your child’s immunization records are available whenever and wherever your doctors need them, no matter what.
You have two easy ways to ask your doctor to enroll in Florida SHOTS.
- Download this flyer to take enrollment and benefit information about Florida SHOTS with you to your next doctor’s appointment.
- Please email your doctor’s information to flshots@doh.state.fl.us , including: doctor’s name, practice or organization name, city, county and telephone number (with area code). We will have a Florida SHOTS regional coordinator follow up with them to make sure they are enrolled in and using the registry.
