I guess you have not yet traveled ？

The fastest way is to show the following documents to your family doctor in Japan and ask him or her to type the missing information and provide you with a certificate.

.
It is best to have the certificate issued in English, if possible.
You can google "Immunization records example" or similar to find a template for the form.

In the worst case scenario, it is possible to get a blood test → at a local hospital after arriving in the U.S. to prove the vaccine, but it is better to do everything you can in Japan and use it as a last resort if it does not work.

This is an experience from another state almost 15 years ago, but ours was fine with it because the mother-child handbook has an English translation of the vaccinations.

When we were going to enroll in elementary school, they used our MCH handbook as an official record. The school nurse rewrote the form in this booklet to make it easier for me, and I got her signature, so I have been using it since then. I have been using the color copy since then because it would be troublesome if I lose the original.
The date on the doctor's stamp was Heisei, so I remember the nurse asked me when it was in the western calendar.　 I had done everything in Japan, but I was missing some kinds to enter a school here, so I had a summary typing done for free at a place run by the Health Department and got the record. I think the school can tell you where to go.

If the tuberculin test is positive, you will have to have a blood test or lung x-ray to prove that you don't "currently" have TB, so even if you get the proof in advance, it may not be very useful after all.
I don't think a tuberculin certificate is necessary for elementary school entry. We didn't need it either until my daughter worked in a hospital.

My daughter and I both work in the medical field, and a lot of people who had BCG in their home countries work in the US, so we are all used to it. Sometimes they skip that test and do a blood test or an x-ray because they are sure it will be positive.

If I did tuberculin, it would be positive, so I would have to get an x-ray every time and it would cost a lot of money.
