CURRENT IMMUNIZATION RECORDS ON FILE – (please contact the Northport Homelink
office if you have any questions or would like clarification of alternatives).

Immunization information from CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/records/keeping-track.html

KEEPING TRACK OF RECORDS

Keep your child's vaccination records in a safe place beginning with their first vaccine. Your child's doctor will keep a record of vaccines given in their clinic. Ask your child's doctor or nurse how they keep vaccination records and how you can get an official copy. You can also ask your child's doctor to enter vaccination information in your state's immunization information system (IIS), a statewide registry for records.

FINDING OFFICIAL VACCINATION RECORDS

If you can't find a copy or do not have your child's vaccination records, you can try to get an official copy from a few different places.

Your child's doctor or clinic

Doctors and health clinics keep records of the vaccines they give to your child. Keep in mind that they may save records for only a few years. If your child has gotten vaccines at different locations, you may have to contact each of them to get your child's records.

Your state's immunization registry

States and some large cities have secure immunization information systems (IIS) that keep vaccination records for the people in the state or city. However, some people's records may not be complete. Contact the IIS in your state or the state where your child received their last vaccine to see if they have your child's records and learn how to request an official copy. Your doctor may also be able to help you get vaccination records from your state's IIS for vaccines that were given at other locations by other providers.

NOTE: IMMUNIZATION EXEMPTION information may be requested from the Northport Homelink office

8. “2023–2024 Family Income Survey” - This survey is used by the Northport School
District to help maximize available funding from state and federal sources, as well as to
provide certain other benefits that may be available for your children. This survey will
come available during the summer or early fall and will then be sent to enrolled
students.

Thank you for your commitment to your children's education. Please contact our office
[(509) 732-4441 Ext. 176] if you have any questions about the enrollment paperwork. We
welcome the opportunity to work with you and your family in the upcoming school year.

Sincerely,
