Vaccinated in Poland and about to begin nursing school

Hello everyone!

I moved to US three years ago from Poland and I'm about to start nursing school in January'11. I was so happy when I found out that I've been accepted to the program, but right now I'm really worried because my school requires my immunization card. I have my immunization card (I took it with me when I was leaving Poland), it has list of all the vaccines that I've taken throughout my life. There is one problem- it's in Polish. My question to you is- what should I do about it? I don't even know whom should I ask to translate and officially confirm that I took this vaccines. Also, I don't have health insurance. I go to one of the free community health clinics. Has anyone been in a situation like this? I would greatly appreciate any feedback!

Elvish, I was referring to contacting the local Polish health department and requesting an English translation. Sorry, I should have specified that.

Nah, it's my bad. When I look back and read it, my post totally sounds like it was referring to yours.
