Following is some information that may be helpful:

Absence of vaccination records
Many adults do not have access to their vaccination records. In this case, you can visit your health care provider or private lab for a titer. Titers are blood tests that measure whether or not you are immune to a given disease(s). Titers can not detect COVID-19 or flu antibodies.

Requesting immunizations or titers from your health care provider
If you are visiting your health care provider for an immunization or titer, it may be helpful for you to print out this PDF and bring it to your visit.
