What Can I Bring to Show Proof of Immunizations?

By Jennifer McFadyen, About.com

Question: What Can I Bring to Show Proof of Immunizations?
Answer:

If you've already been vaccinated for certain diseases and you want to avoid being re-vaccinated, you can bring a personal vaccination record or a copy of the medical record with entries made by a physician or appropriate medical personnel to your medical exam.

Before the exam, ask your family doctor for a copy of your immunization record. You might also be able to obtain immunization records from schools you've attended.
