Medical records have gone MIA

Hello! Not sure if this is the right place to post. I recently needed to show proof of some childhood vaccines for a new job. I figure no problem since I had them.

Problem: I was born in the mid 80s (what a time to be alive!). I saw a pediatrician who administered those vaccines. This doctor still practices and sees my child. Once I was too old to see a pediatrician… I’m going to say it was before 2007 I moved to a PCP. I didn’t see them for too long and at some point they retired- I have no idea when. I moved to another PCP who I saw for a long time… probably over a decade. And in June of this year I started with another PCP. I signed release forms and all that jazz. Well, much to my surprise my new PCP couldn’t get my records. I called PCP #2 mostly just looking for the vaccines. They also could not find them and stated they never had them. And PCP #1 has disappeared without a trace. I am a bit perplexed as to how PCP #2 never had them. I also feel like I have a memory of physically picking up my files from somewhere at some point.

I got a titer done for what I need for employment. I was able through my OB to find proof of two of the four I needed. I’ve tried the hospital and even my pediatrician. Nothing. Tried local BH. My state has an online vaccine records system but anything pre-2011 probably isn’t there.

What would be the best way to track down where my records went when my first PCP stopped practicing? Would those records even still be stored somewhere? Or am I just SOL and will need to get a million titers done? Sorry for the novel!
