Is it possible to detect vaccines injected to someone in there whole life from birth, if the vaccination records are lost? then what option will i have if all of my vaccination records are lost?

There are a mix of several things you can do. You can start over with a "adult" unvaccinated schedule that excludes some of the one only needed in small kids. You can get blood tests for protective antibody levels (done in specialty labs) which delay the process and may be hard to arrange. Duplicating childhood vaccines in an adult poses no real risk to you.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. It would be safer and probably cheaper to assume you were not vaccinated, rather than trying antibody tests to test prior vaccination. Wish you good health!

Copy of vaccination records may be in the school records. Even if you do not get the record, if you attended the school and did not apply for waiver, then you must have received all necessary vaccinations. Important vaccinations not to miss are tetanus, pertussis , mumps, hepatitis A and B. Agree with previous answers that you can get adult immunization. Hope it helps.
