Immunizations
Just like good nutrition, exercise and regular check-ups, vaccines play a vital role in keeping you healthy throughout your life – from childhood through your senior years.
KCHD provides vaccinations for both children and adults. Also, we provide immunization records for Knox County residents and those attending Knox County Schools.
If you need to transfer an out of state record or request a Tennessee record, please use this form: IP (jotform.com). If you have any issues with the link, contact the Immunization Program at 865-215-5150. Please allow at least 5 days to process immunization records and arrange a pickup time.
If you live outside of Knox County, please check with your county health department for immunization records.
