How to get Louisiana immunization records through MyIR

MyIR uses identity information to locate an exact match in LINKS. If it finds the record, it sends a verification code to a phone number already associated with that registry profile.

Open the Louisiana registration or sign-in route New users should register once. Returning users should sign in or reset the existing account rather than creating several accounts.
Use an email address you can access MyIR requires an email address, and that email becomes the account username.
Enter the exact legal identity Use the first name, middle name, surname, suffix and date of birth most likely recorded by the doctor or pharmacy.
Add every plausible phone number MyIR allows up to four numbers. Include current, former, family and provider-file numbers.
Choose text or automated call where offered MyIR can deliver a verification code by text message or autodial call, depending on the number and selected method.
Enter the code sent to the registry-matching number One number must match the phone stored with the immunization record.
Open the Immunizations page Review the full history, vaccine dates, certificate documents and any record gaps.
Download the complete PDF Save every page rather than relying on a screenshot that may hide identity or dose details.
Use Check for Updates after future vaccines MyIR does not always refresh an already-linked profile automatically after a new vaccination.
Spanish display: MyIR allows users to switch the health-record display between English and Spanish through the account menu.
Most common access problem

How MyIR phone-number matching works

Phone matching rules and the correct fix
Situation What MyIR does What you should do
You know several possible numbers Searches using up to four phone numbers. Enter current and former numbers connected with providers or pharmacies.
One of four numbers matches Uses the matching number for verification. Make sure you can receive a text or call at that number.
The code goes to an old number Cannot redirect the code to a different number. Ask the provider or state health program to update the registry number.
No code arrives May be waiting on an external call/text setting or no true match. Check the Profile page and confirm the phone can receive outside calls or texts.
Your current phone is correct in MyIR Account updates do not automatically correct LINKS. Ask the healthcare provider to correct the registry demographic record.
Provider phone-update script “MyIR is sending verification to an old number or cannot match my record. Please confirm the legal name, date of birth, address and phone number your office reported to LINKS and update any incorrect demographic information.”
Troubleshooting path

Why MyIR cannot find your Louisiana record

Former surname Try a maiden name, previous legal name, hyphenated version or suffix.
Date-of-birth mismatch Ask the provider to compare the clinical file with its LINKS submission.
Old phone number Enter previous, family and pharmacy-booking numbers.
Duplicate patient records A spelling difference or old address may have split doses between profiles.
Unreported vaccine Ask the administering office whether LINKS accepted the dose.
Recently administered dose The provider may not have completed reporting or corrected a rejected submission.
Out-of-state dose The vaccine may remain in another state’s registry or provider system.
Older paper-only history Search schools, pediatricians, military files, employers and family records.

Follow this escalation order

Correct the MyIR Profile information Update the name, date of birth, address and possible phone numbers, then retry.
Contact the original provider or pharmacy Request its full administration history and ask whether each dose was accepted by LINKS.
Ask about duplicate profiles Have staff search former names, spelling variations, old addresses and incorrect birth dates.
Use MyIR’s Athena chat or Louisiana support Select a matching, child-linking, certificate or incorrect-record support category.
Contact a parish health unit Ask whether it can locate or print the available LINKS record and what identification to bring.
A failed portal match does not prove that a vaccination never occurred. Do not invent dates or repeat vaccines solely because MyIR is incomplete. Ask a qualified healthcare professional to review the evidence.
Parents and guardians

How to add a child to Louisiana MyIR

Register and sign in to the adult account The parent or guardian must have an active MyIR account first.
Select Add Family Member or Add a Child Use the child’s exact legal identity and date of birth.
Enter the primary registrant’s matching phone information MyIR attempts to connect the child using the adult’s name, date of birth and phone information.
Review the child’s complete history Check pediatrician, pharmacy, parish clinic, school-clinic and out-of-state doses.
Download both the history and any certificate MyIR’s complete history may show more doses than a state certificate because certificates display doses considered valid for that document.
Contact the pediatrician if the child cannot be linked Ask staff to check parent details, demographic errors and duplicate LINKS profiles.
Age limit: MyIR allows children under age 18 to be added. Anyone age 18 or older must create an individual account.
Pediatrician call script “I cannot link my child in Louisiana MyIR. Please verify the child’s legal name and date of birth, my phone number and relationship details, and whether all doses are attached to one LINKS profile.”
Expanded January 2026 feature

How to display vaccinations in LA Wallet

LA Wallet now displays all available completed Louisiana vaccinations—not only COVID-19—through its Vaccine Card feature.

Install or update LA Wallet The Vaccine Card section may not appear in an outdated app version.
Create an account and link a Louisiana license or state ID LA Wallet uses the linked identity to search for the vaccination record.
Open Vaccination Card from the Home tab Accept the terms and select Add My Vaccination Card.
Open your name to view the complete vaccine list Select Vaccine Card for the broader immunization history or SMART Health Card for COVID-focused information.
Refresh after a new vaccination Pull down on the Vaccine Card screen to request updated information.
Use Vaccine Card Assistance when something is wrong Open Menu, Louisiana State Services and Vaccine Card Assistance to send a support ticket to LDH.

Adding a child or dependent

Link the adult’s Louisiana driver license or state ID
Open Vaccination Card
Choose Add Dependent Vaccination Card
Enter first and last name
Enter suffix when applicable
Enter date of birth
Enter ZIP code
Tap the dependent’s name to view vaccines
Dependent detail: The adult does not have to link their own vaccinations before adding a dependent. Anyone age 18 or older needs a separate LA Wallet account.

Out-of-state, VA or missing vaccinations

Out-of-state dose

Open Vaccine Card Assistance. Out-of-state providers cannot directly update LINKS.

VA vaccination

Use the dedicated VA assistance route and follow any authorization-to-release instructions.

Louisiana dose missing

Refresh first, then submit the in-state assistance ticket with supporting details.

Acceptance varies: LA Wallet is useful mobile proof, but a school, daycare, college, employer or licensing program may require a printed MyIR record or signed Louisiana certificate.
Correction workflow

How to correct a missing or wrong LINKS dose

Begin with the organization that administered the vaccine. MyIR and LA Wallet display information from the registry, but residents generally cannot clinically verify and add a dose themselves.

Evidence to collect before requesting a correction
Information Where to find it Why it helps
Vaccine name Provider portal, pharmacy history, vaccine card or visit summary. Identifies the exact missing entry.
Administration date Appointment history, receipt, claim or clinical record. Helps staff locate the encounter.
Administering location Doctor, pharmacy, parish clinic, school event or employer clinic. Shows which organization should verify the dose.
Manufacturer or lot Provider or pharmacy administration record. Supports clinical verification when available.
Identity used at the visit Insurance card, pharmacy profile or appointment message. May reveal a demographic or duplicate-profile problem.
Correction script “My Louisiana record is missing the [vaccine] given at your location around [date]. Please verify the clinical administration record, the identity used, whether LINKS accepted the submission, and whether the dose is attached to a duplicate profile.”
History versus certificate: MyIR says the complete Immunizations page may show all reported doses, while a state certificate displays doses considered valid for that certificate. Ask a provider or parish health unit when the two documents differ.
Never edit an official PDF yourself. A school, employer or clinical program may reject altered documentation.
Local record assistance

How to request help from a parish health unit

LDH lists parish health units as an official backup for obtaining available immunization records. Call before travelling because hours, appointment procedures and identification requirements may differ by location.

Prepare this information

Full legal and former names
Date of birth
Current and previous addresses
Current and old phone numbers
Government photo identification
Parent or guardian relationship
Provider and pharmacy names
Approximate vaccination dates
MyIR error message
School, college or work deadline
Parish health unit call script “I need an official immunization record for [reason]. MyIR cannot match or is incomplete. Can your office search or print the available LINKS record, and what identification or relationship documents should I bring?”
School and daycare documents

What makes a Louisiana immunization certificate usable?

Louisiana school and daycare guidance relies on the Universal Certificate of Immunizations. For daycare and early-learning use, the certificate must be complete, signed, dated and supported by actual vaccination dates.

School and daycare document checks
Document issue Why it may fail Correct action
Certificate is unsigned The daycare guide requires an authorized signed certificate. Ask the provider or facility which authorized signature is needed.
Certificate is undated Staff cannot verify when the certificate was issued or reviewed. Obtain a complete dated certificate.
Vaccine history attached to a blank form A history attachment with only a parent signature is specifically described as unacceptable. Have the certificate itself completed with supported dose dates.
Only “up to date” is written The receiving facility needs actual documentation and status evaluation. Provide a MyIR, LINKS or provider-generated certificate containing vaccine dates.
Certificate is incomplete The facility cannot determine complete, out-of-compliance or exempt status. Ask the provider, MyIR or parish unit to issue a complete replacement.
Recent dose is missing The provider may not have updated LINKS or the certificate. Ask the administering provider to verify reporting and issue an updated certificate.

Official certificate routes

Provider-generated certificate

A healthcare provider can print and sign an up-to-date certificate populated from LINKS.

MyIR certificate

A parent can print a prepopulated certificate, then confirm the receiving facility’s signature requirements.

Parish health unit

A parish unit may help retrieve the record or issue supported documentation.

Deadline consequence: Louisiana daycare guidance says an out-of-compliance child may be excluded under applicable rules. Ask the facility for the exact missing dose, certificate problem, correction deadline and exclusion date in writing.
Urgent school, work or college need

Choose the fastest action for your deadline

Record recovery by time remaining
Time remaining Best routes Immediate action
Today MyIR, LA Wallet, provider portal, pharmacy and receiving office. Download available proof and ask exactly which field is missing.
One to three business days MyIR, provider, pharmacy, school and parish health unit. Call before visiting and use several routes at the same time.
One to two weeks Full demographic correction and certificate replacement. Resolve phone matching, duplicate profiles and out-of-state documentation.
More than two weeks Complete history reconstruction. Contact every provider, pharmacy, school, employer and state involved.
Receiving-office script “Please identify the exact vaccine, dose or certificate field that is missing. Do you accept a complete MyIR record, signed Universal Certificate, provider record, LA Wallet display, parish health unit printout or another state’s registry document?”
Adults, pharmacies and employers

Why an adult Louisiana record may be incomplete

LINKS includes recipients of all ages, but older doses may predate the registry, remain in paper files, be attached to different demographic information or have been administered through another system.

Best first source for common adult record needs
Situation Check first Request this
Pharmacy flu, COVID-19, RSV, shingles or Tdap The pharmacy account and exact administering store. Complete vaccine administration history.
Healthcare employment Occupational health, MyIR, provider and pharmacy. The employer’s written proof and laboratory requirements.
Nursing or college program Student health portal, prior school, provider and MyIR. The program-specific immunization form.
Military or VA vaccines Service medical records, VA portal and LA Wallet assistance. Complete military or VA immunization history.
Old childhood vaccines Parents, former school, pediatrician, MyIR and parish unit. Provider-verified or registry documentation.
Do not pay for titers or repeat vaccines before confirming the rules. A school, employer, college, civil surgeon or clinician decides whether laboratory evidence can replace missing dates.
Old, closed-provider and storm-lost records

How to rebuild a lost Louisiana immunization history

Search MyIR and LA Wallet Electronic records may survive even when a paper card was lost during a move, flood or hurricane.
Contact every previous provider Ask whether a closed practice transferred records to a successor office, hospital system or record custodian.
Check former schools and colleges Ask the nurse or registrar for immunization documents rather than an academic transcript.
Check pharmacy accounts Adult vaccines may remain in the exact store’s system even when they are missing online.
Check employers, military and VA systems Occupational-health and federal records may hold verified copies.
Contact each state where doses were given State registries do not automatically combine every jurisdiction’s records.
Give recovered records to a Louisiana provider Ask whether the evidence can be verified and added to LINKS.
Insurance claims are only a locator: A claim may identify a provider and approximate date but usually does not replace a clinical vaccination record.
Vaccinated outside Louisiana

How to recover and transfer out-of-state records

Request the official source record Contact the provider, pharmacy, school or immunization registry where the vaccine was administered.
Check the identity and dose dates Make sure the record contains a readable name, date of birth, vaccine and administration date.
Give the record to a Louisiana provider or health official Out-of-state providers do not have direct access to update LINKS.
Use LA Wallet Vaccine Card Assistance Submit the out-of-state route when you want LDH help displaying the dose in LA Wallet.
Keep the original record Do not discard the out-of-state document after a Louisiana update appears.
Mississippi vaccinations

Use Mississippi MyIR and MIIX for doses administered east of Louisiana.

Common questions

Louisiana immunization records FAQs

How do I get Louisiana immunization records online?

Start with Louisiana MyIR Mobile. Register or sign in, enter information that matches the LINKS registry, complete phone verification, and download the available record. If matching fails, contact the provider, pharmacy, parish health unit or MyIR support.

What is the difference between MyIR and LINKS?

LINKS is Louisiana’s immunization information system for enrolled and authorized users. MyIR Mobile is the public-facing service residents use to access available records stored in LINKS.

How many phone numbers can I enter in MyIR?

MyIR allows up to four phone numbers. Only one number must match the phone information stored with the immunization registry record.

What if the MyIR verification code goes to an old phone?

MyIR sends the code to the matching phone number stored in the registry and cannot redirect it to another number. Contact the healthcare provider or state health program to update the registry phone information.

Can a parent add a child to Louisiana MyIR?

Parents or authorized guardians can add children under age 18 through Add Family Member. Anyone age 18 or older needs an individual MyIR account.

Can LA Wallet show all Louisiana vaccinations?

LA Wallet’s 2026 Vaccine Card can display all available completed Louisiana vaccinations after the user links a Louisiana driver license or state ID and the information matches.

What should I do when a vaccine is missing?

Use Check for Updates in MyIR, refresh LA Wallet, and contact the provider or pharmacy that administered the vaccine. Ask whether the dose was reported to LINKS and whether a duplicate patient profile exists.

Can a MyIR record be used for Louisiana school or daycare?

MyIR can provide a Louisiana immunization certificate, but schools and daycare facilities may require the certificate to be complete, signed, dated and current. Confirm the exact format with the receiving facility.

Why might an adult Louisiana record be incomplete?

Older doses may predate LINKS, remain in paper files, be attached to different demographics, or have been administered through another state, pharmacy, employer, military, VA, tribal or federal system.

What if vaccinations were given outside Louisiana?

Obtain the official record from the provider or registry where the vaccine was administered. Out-of-state providers cannot directly update LINKS, so a Louisiana provider, parish health unit or LA Wallet assistance route may need to verify the documentation.
