How does Florida SHOTS work?

Florida SHOTS (State Health Online Tracking System) is a free, statewide, centralized online immunization registry that helps health-care providers, schools, and parents keep track of immunization records.

Florida SHOTS allows registered, authorized system users to access confidential immunization information via a secure electronic system to check immunization status, update information in the system, and register new children. When an authorized user needs to find a child’s immunization history, they can search the system.

Florida SHOTS offers an immunization forecasting function that allows health-care providers to easily determine the immunizations a child needs based on past immunization history, and age medical conditions. The system also produces the 680 form required by law for child-care center and school attendance in Florida.

Florida SHOTS is endorsed by the Florida Pediatric Society, Florida Medical Association, Florida Osteopathic Medical Association and the Florida Academy of Family Physicians.
