tracking down immunizations?

Have any non-trads had luck tracking down immunization records they thought might be lost?

My school won't accept titers anymore so I have to track down immunization records that I'm having a hard time doing.

Here's what I've tried:

A) asked pediatrician group for immunization records. Only asked for immunization records. Maybe I should try again for the whole chart? Since it was a paper chart maybe they didn't care enough to dig through it? Problem is I jumped around in care a lot as a kid so I'm not sure it'll even be available although my mom says immunization records were always requested by new doctors when you switched.

B) called high school. They send their records to the district "office" after a certain amount of time. Still tracking this but doesn't seem likely as I graduated in 2007 so I'm sure those are long gone now.

C) called undergrad institution. They purge them every seven years so I just missed them.

Ideas/thoughts? Lol I googled and feel like I hit all the commonly covered routes but maybe someone here has an idea that didn't occur to me or google

They won't accept titers? Even quantification titers? That seems really backwards, my school would only accept quantification titers.
Have you tried the state/county health departments where you grew uo or went to schhol? Many of them keep records. IIS | Contacts for Immunization Records | CDC

I second the state/count health records. I’m old, that’s how I got mine, plus I had to do titers too.

Which shots? State/county didn't have my MMR, I ended up having it re-done since it was cheaper than a titer, and there was no real harm in doing so. Considering current events, I can't say that I'm upset that I had a recent booster!

Second state and county records. Even though mine were done a really long time ago (80s). I was able to access them easily from my state health department by filling out a form and sending a photocopy of my ID. A lot of states are moving to these vaccination databases.

Go to the school district website and order them there. If not, the district office as they DO keep a record. In my case, it was apart of my transcripts.

If you have to get new vaccines, it's not a huge deal! I had to get some as part of a second process (titres not accepted) and now I feel invincible. (Just kidding on invincible - but not a big deal).
