Options for requesting and transferring medical records
As a current or former patient, you may need to request your medical records to meet institutional requirements or transfer care to another provider. This page outlines your options.
Getting Started
Determining if we have the records you seek
Husky Health opens a medical record for each person who receives health care at our clinic. We do not retain records for students who do not establish care with us. If you fulfilled the UW Immunity Verification Requirement while you were a student, but did not transfer your medical records or otherwise seek care with us, we would not have your records.
If you did not seek care with us and are trying to track down the records you submitted to UW to meet the UW Immunity Verification Requirement, contact the provider who supplied the vaccines or blood tests or visit a local clinic to explore your options. If you were immunized in Washington State, you may also be able to find your records in the Washington State Immunization Registry.
If you are unable to find your records, you may need to have a blood test called a titer that proves immunity to disease.
Obtaining your medical records
If you did seek care with us, or believe we have your records, you have two options to request your records:
- Find your vaccination records on MyChart, UW Medicine’s health record portal
- Complete the medical records form on our forms page and submit it by mail, fax, or email to UW Medicine’s Medical Records Department
