Washington State Vaccination Records 2026 Guide

Washington State records guide — 2026
Washington State Vaccination Records: MyIR, WAIIS, CIS & WA Verify Guide

Need Washington State vaccination records for school, child care, college, healthcare work, travel, immigration, military paperwork, or your own family file? Washington uses the Washington State Immunization Information System, also called WA IIS or WAIIS. This guide explains MyIR Mobile, the Certificate of Immunization Status, WA Verify for COVID-19 records, provider and pharmacy records, Department of Health help, and what to do when your vaccine record is missing.

Quick answer

To get Washington State vaccination records, start with MyIR Mobile, your health care provider, your clinic, your pharmacy, your child’s school, or the Washington State Department of Health Office of Immunization. MyIR Mobile can let many residents view and print immunization records, a Certificate of Immunization Status, and a COVID-19 vaccination certificate when the registration information matches the state registry.

Official starting point: Washington DOH access your family’s immunization information

If MyIR Mobile does not find your record, do not assume you were never vaccinated. The dose may be under a previous name, linked to an old phone number, stored with a pharmacy or clinic, held by a school, given in another state, or never reported into WAIIS.

What Is WAIIS for Washington State Vaccination Records?

WAIIS means Washington State Immunization Information System. CDC identifies Washington’s IIS as WA IIS and says it includes immunization records for vaccine recipients of all ages. Washington DOH also explains that the Department uses the Washington State Immunization Information System, but it may not have complete records for every person.

Official references: CDC Washington IIS page and Washington DOH record access page

For regular families, MyIR Mobile is usually the easier public-facing route. The WAIIS provider portal is mainly for authorized users such as health care providers, schools, and public health partners. MyIR Mobile is the resident-friendly route for viewing and printing records when the system can match your information.

Public access route: MyIR Mobile
For parents

Use MyIR Mobile, your child’s provider, or the school office to get a Certificate of Immunization Status when available.

Washington school immunization page
For adults

Use MyIR Mobile, provider records, pharmacy records, WA Verify for COVID-only proof, or DOH record support.

Washington DOH family records
For schools

Washington schools and child care programs commonly need the Certificate of Immunization Status, called CIS.

How to Get Washington State Vaccination Records Step by Step

Use this order because it starts with the fastest public option and then moves to the provider, pharmacy, school, and Washington DOH support routes.

  1. Try MyIR Mobile first. Go to MyIR Mobile, create an account, choose Washington, and enter your information carefully. Washington DOH says your registration information is used to match your records with the state immunization registry.
  2. Check whether your record matches. Use your legal name, date of birth, current or old phone number, email, and address details. A mismatch can stop MyIR Mobile from linking to the right record.
  3. Ask the provider, clinic, or pharmacy that gave the vaccine. Washington DOH says most health care providers in Washington use the Washington State Immunization System and may be able to print a record from the IIS or provide records from their own medical record system.
  4. For school or child care, ask for the CIS. A school may need the Certificate of Immunization Status, not a casual vaccine list or screenshot. MyIR Mobile, providers, schools, and hardcopy forms can all be part of the CIS process.
  5. Ask your child’s school when relevant. Washington DOH says all public schools and some private schools in Washington have access to the Washington State Immunization Information System and may be able to print student records if asked ahead of time.
  6. Use WA Verify for COVID-19 QR proof. WA Verify is for a digital COVID-19 vaccination record and QR code. It is not the same thing as a full lifetime immunization record or every school CIS need.
  7. Contact Washington DOH if MyIR or provider routes do not work. If you cannot get a complete record and do not want to use MyIR, Washington DOH lists the Office of Immunization at 360-236-3595 or 1-866-397-0337.
  8. Use the authorization form route if needed. Washington DOH may require an Authorization to Release Immunization Records. After receiving the signed form, DOH says it will mail, fax, or securely email the record within five business days.
  9. Search another state if the shot was not given in Washington. Vaccines from Oregon, Idaho, California, Alaska, Texas, Florida, another state, military care, or another country may not automatically appear in WAIIS.
  10. Save a clean copy. Once you get the record, save a PDF and print a copy. Use a clear file name such as “Washington-State-Vaccination-Record-2026.pdf.”
Do not wait until school registration week If your child needs a CIS and MyIR Mobile cannot match the record, you may need provider help, school nurse help, or DOH record support. That can take time.

MyIR Mobile Washington Login, Registration and Record Matching

MyIR Mobile is the main public access tool for Washington residents who want to view and print immunization records. Washington DOH says your registration details are matched with the state immunization registry and a verification code may be sent to your phone to complete the process.

Official MyIR guidance: Washington DOH MyIR Mobile instructions

If MyIR Mobile cannot find your record, it may be a data match problem rather than a vaccine problem. Try your full legal name, previous last names, hyphenated names, older phone numbers, older addresses, and the exact date of birth used by your provider, pharmacy, or school.

Public login route: Open MyIR Mobile
MyIR Mobile issue What it may mean What to try
No match found Your registration details may not match the WAIIS record. Use legal name, previous names, old address, old phone number, and provider help.
Verification code problem The phone number in the record may be old or different. Try the phone number linked to the provider record or ask the provider for help.
Child not showing Family linking or guardian information may not match. Ask the child’s provider, school nurse, or DOH record support.
Missing vaccine date Dose may not have been reported or may be in another system. Check provider portal, pharmacy account, school record, or another state registry.
Need school proof A full record may not be enough if the school wants CIS. Download the Certificate of Immunization Status if available or ask the school what format it accepts.
Senior-friendly tip If online registration is frustrating, call your clinic or pharmacy and ask for “my immunization record from the Washington IIS,” or call Washington DOH record support and ask what information they need.

Washington Certificate of Immunization Status: CIS for School and Child Care

The Certificate of Immunization Status, usually called CIS, is Washington’s school and child care immunization form. Washington DOH says the CIS can be printed from the Immunization Information System, printed from MyIR, or completed as a hardcopy form when properly medically verified.

Official school page: Washington school and child care immunization

A CIS is not just a random vaccine list. Washington schools and child care programs use it to review whether a child is complete, conditional, or not complete for state requirements. If the CIS is handwritten, it must be verified by a health care provider signature or by attaching medical immunization records for school or child care staff review.

CIS form page: Washington DOH CIS and school forms
Washington document Used for Where to get it
CIS School, child care, preschool, and attendance immunization proof. MyIR Mobile, health care provider, school office, or Washington DOH family forms page.
MyIR Mobile CIS Parent-printable CIS when the record matches in MyIR. MyIR Mobile account after registry matching.
WAIIS printed CIS Validated CIS printed by a provider, school, or authorized IIS user. Health care provider, school, or child care staff with IIS access.
Hardcopy CIS Manual form when records need to be written in and verified. Washington DOH form page; must be medically verified.
COE Exemption from one or more school or child care vaccine requirements. Washington DOH Certificate of Exemption process and school guidance.
Common Washington parent mistake Do not submit a screenshot if the school asks for a CIS. Download or print the correct Certificate of Immunization Status, or ask the school nurse what medically verified format they accept.

Can You Download or Print the Washington CIS PDF?

Many families search for “Washington immunization form PDF,” “CIS form Washington,” or “Certificate of Immunization Status PDF” because a school or child care office asks for it. You can use the Washington DOH school immunization page to find current CIS information, but a hardcopy CIS completed by hand must be medically verified.

Official CIS information: Washington DOH school and child care immunization

The cleanest CIS is usually one printed from WAIIS or MyIR Mobile because the vaccine dates come from the IIS. If you fill a hardcopy CIS by hand, attach acceptable medical immunization records or get the required provider verification before giving it to the school or child care office.

Parent record access: Print records through MyIR Mobile when available
Plain rule For school or child care, “I have the dates written down” may not be enough. Washington generally wants a medically verified CIS or acceptable medical immunization record support.

WA Verify, COVID-19 Records and SMART Health Cards

WA Verify is Washington’s digital COVID-19 vaccination record tool. It can provide a digital copy and QR code for COVID-19 verification when the record matches. It is useful when you specifically need COVID-19 proof, but it is not the same as a full lifetime immunization history or every school CIS requirement.

Official COVID verification tool: WA Verify Digital COVID-19 Vaccine Record

For a complete vaccine history, school CIS, child care proof, or family records, use MyIR Mobile, your provider, your pharmacy, your school, or Washington DOH record support. WA Verify is best treated as a COVID-19 proof tool, not a full replacement for WAIIS/MyIR records.

Full-family route: Washington DOH family immunization information
Tool Best for Not best for
MyIR Mobile Immunization history, CIS, family records, and COVID certificate access. A record that was never submitted or does not match your registration information.
WA Verify Digital COVID-19 verification record and QR code. Full school CIS or complete lifetime vaccine history.
Provider portal Clinic, hospital, and provider-submitted vaccines. Shots given elsewhere unless they were added to the chart.
Pharmacy account Adult pharmacy vaccines like COVID-19, flu, RSV, shingles, and travel shots. Childhood vaccines given by pediatricians or school clinics.

Washington Local Help: Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver, Everett, Bellevue and Olympia

If MyIR Mobile does not match your record, local help may be faster. Start with the provider, pharmacy, school, clinic, or local health jurisdiction connected to where the vaccine was given. For school records, your child’s school may also be able to help if staff have access to WAIIS and enough time before the deadline.

State contact route: Washington DOH immunization record help

CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Safeway, Costco, Walmart and Pharmacy Vaccine Records in Washington

Many Washington adults received COVID-19, flu, RSV, shingles, pneumonia, hepatitis, Tdap, or travel vaccines at a pharmacy. Those doses may appear in WAIIS if properly reported and matched, but the pharmacy account or store pharmacy may be the fastest first place to check.

Use the same pharmacy chain, name, phone number, email address, and date of birth used at the appointment. If you changed phone numbers, used a married name, used a nickname, or booked through a clinic-style pharmacy profile, the pharmacy may need extra details.

Old-record help: Immunize.org tips for locating old immunization records
CVS vaccine records

Check your CVS or MinuteClinic account, then call the store or clinic if the vaccine is not visible.

Walgreens vaccine records

Use the Walgreens profile tied to the appointment and confirm your old phone number if needed.

Rite Aid vaccine records

Ask the Rite Aid pharmacy where the shot was given for a printed immunization history.

Safeway or Albertsons

Check the pharmacy profile or call the local store pharmacy for vaccine documentation.

Costco vaccine records

Contact the Costco pharmacy location and verify your identity and appointment details.

Walmart vaccine records

Ask the Walmart pharmacy for vaccine dates, vaccine names, and printed documentation.

Why Your Washington State Vaccination Record May Be Missing

A missing Washington record does not automatically mean the vaccine was never given. It may mean the dose was given outside Washington, not reported to WAIIS, entered under different identity details, stored only in a provider chart, or linked to a phone number you no longer use.

Cross-state route: CDC immunization registry contacts by state
Problem What it means What to try next
Name mismatch The record may be under a maiden name, old last name, hyphenated name, nickname, or different spelling. Ask provider or DOH support to search old names and exact date of birth.
Old phone number MyIR Mobile verification may depend on matched phone information. Try the phone number used at the clinic or pharmacy when vaccinated.
Duplicate records Vaccines may be split between two profiles. Ask provider or DOH whether duplicate WAIIS records may exist.
Out-of-state vaccines Vaccines from another state may be in that state’s registry instead of Washington. Contact the state where the shot was actually given.
Old doctor or closed clinic Records may be with a successor office, health system, or medical records custodian. Search the clinic name, call the health system, and ask a current provider to check WAIIS.
Military, VA, or federal vaccine The record may live in federal or military health systems. Check VA, TRICARE, base clinic, or service medical records.
Micro checklist before giving up Try MyIR Mobile, old names, old phone numbers, old addresses, provider portals, pharmacy accounts, school records, college health records, military records, previous state registries, and Washington DOH record support.

Washington Vaccination Records vs Full Medical Records

A vaccination record is not the same as a complete medical record. A vaccine record usually lists vaccine names, dose dates, and sometimes provider-submitted details. A full medical record can include doctor notes, diagnoses, lab results, prescriptions, imaging, hospital visits, and other treatment information.

For vaccine records, start with MyIR Mobile or Washington DOH record guidance. For full medical records, contact the provider or hospital medical records department.
Need Ask for Where to start
School vaccine proof Certificate of Immunization Status, or CIS. MyIR Mobile, provider, school office, or DOH school forms.
Adult vaccine history WAIIS immunization history or provider/pharmacy record. MyIR Mobile, provider, pharmacy, or DOH support.
COVID QR code Digital COVID-19 Vaccine Record. WA Verify.
Full hospital chart Complete medical record or visit records. Hospital medical records department.
Lab proof of immunity Titer lab results. Doctor, lab, employer instructions, school instructions, or civil surgeon.

Washington Adult Records for College, Work, Healthcare Jobs, Travel and Immigration

Adults often need Washington State vaccination records for nursing school, college enrollment, healthcare employment, caregiver work, travel clinics, immigration medical exams, military paperwork, volunteer roles, or personal medical history. The best route depends on who is asking and what format they accept.

General adult vaccine guidance: CDC adult vaccines
Adult need Likely proof Best Washington route
Healthcare job MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, Tdap, flu, COVID-19, TB screening, or titers. MyIR Mobile, provider, pharmacy records, and occupational health instructions.
College or nursing school Campus-specific vaccine upload, vaccine dates, CIS-like proof, or titers. College health portal, MyIR Mobile, provider, and pharmacy records.
Travel Routine and travel vaccine dates. Travel clinic, pharmacy, provider, and MyIR if available.
Immigration medical exam Civil surgeon-reviewed vaccine evidence. Provider records, pharmacy records, foreign records, and civil surgeon guidance.
Personal archive Complete readable vaccine history. MyIR Mobile, provider portals, pharmacy apps, and paper backups.

Titer tests when Washington records are lost

A titer is a blood test that can show immunity to certain diseases. It may help when childhood records are gone, especially for healthcare jobs or college programs. But the school, employer, college, or civil surgeon decides whether titers are accepted.

Cost warning Do not pay for titers until the organization requesting proof tells you exactly which tests and result format they accept. Some offices still want vaccine dates, a CIS, or a specific provider-signed form.

Transfer Out-of-State Immunization Records to Washington

If you moved to Washington from another state, bring the complete vaccine record to a Washington provider, school, college, or local health office. WAIIS may not automatically contain vaccines from Oregon, Idaho, California, Alaska, Florida, Texas, another state, or another country.

Find previous state records: CDC IIS contacts by state

If the record is for school or child care, ask whether the out-of-state record can be attached to a hardcopy CIS, entered into WAIIS by an authorized user, or reviewed by the school according to Washington’s medically verified record rules.

New resident tip Do not hand your only paper copy to a school or office without saving a scan or photo first. Keep the original in a safe folder.

CDC’s Washington IIS policy page says Washington does not have a mandate for vaccination providers to report immunizations to WA IIS and that the operational policy establishes voluntary provider reporting. That is one reason older or outside records may be missing.

Check the pharmacy account or call the exact pharmacy location where the vaccine was given. Pharmacy records are often the fastest route for adult COVID-19, flu, RSV, shingles, pneumonia, hepatitis, Tdap, and travel vaccines.

Out-of-state records can help, but the school may still need a medically verified CIS or acceptable medical immunization records attached to the CIS. Ask the school or Washington DOH school immunization page for current rules.

Washington school immunization page

Sometimes. Titers may help for MMR, varicella, or hepatitis B in healthcare jobs, college programs, or immigration medical exams, but the organization asking for proof decides whether titers are accepted. Ask before paying for labs.
