Florida SHOTS

What is Florida SHOTS? Florida SHOTS is a statewide centralized electronic immunization registry that is authorized by section 381.003, F.S. The purpose of Florida SHOTS is to help parents and health care providers keep track of immunization records.

By including your child in the registry, you and your physician will be able to:

    Have access to an automated, updated immunization history for your child through the convenience of Florida SHOTS

    Be able to request an automated immunization form, needed for school or day care entry and attendance, from your private provider or managed care provider

    Receive an automated reminder from Florida SHOTS records for immunizations that are due

    Have an automated notification to providers that your child has experienced an adverse event to a specific shot or that your child has a contraindication to a vaccine

Florida is an Opt-Out state. This means that unless specified by completing form 1478 (opt-out), your record or your child's record may be added to the registry. You do not need to complete the form to participate. The form is to provide notification and you child will be included if you do nothing. To choose not to participate, simply fill out the bottom part of form 1478 (opt-out), and mail it to the specified address.
