ImmTrac, the Texas immunization registry, is a free service of the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). The immunization registry is a secure and confidential service that consolidates and stores your child’s (under 18 years of age) immunization records. With your consent, your child’s immunization information will be included in ImmTrac. Doctors, public health departments, schools and other authorized professionals can access your child’s immunization history to ensure that important vaccines are not missed.

The Texas Department of State Health Services encourages your voluntary participation in the Texas immunization registry.

a state agency having legal custody of the child;
a Texas school or child-care facility in which the child is enrolled;
a payor, currently authorized by the Texas Department of Insurance to operate in Texas, regarding coverage for the child.

I understand that I may withdraw this consent to include information on my child in the ImmTrac Registry and my consent to release information from the Registry at any time by written communication to the Texas Department of State Health Services, ImmTrac Group – MC 1946, P.O.
