Need Indiana immunization records for school, daycare, college, a healthcare job, travel, immigration paperwork, military files, or your own medical folder? Indiana’s official registry is CHIRP, and the public-facing access route is MyVaxIndiana. This guide explains where to start, when a PIN may be needed, what to do when the record is missing, and which official links are safest to use.
To get Indiana immunization records online, start with MyVaxIndiana and CHIRP. IDOH explains that MyVaxIndiana lets Hoosiers access immunization history recorded in CHIRP for themselves and their children. If the portal cannot match the record, contact your healthcare provider, local health department, school, pharmacy, or the CHIRP Help Desk.

What Indiana Immunization Records Mean
Indiana immunization records are vaccine history documents showing vaccine names, dose dates, and related details. You may need them for K-12 school, child care, college, nursing school, healthcare employment, travel, immigration medical exams, sports, camp, military paperwork, or a personal medical file.
Official IDOH immunization page: Indiana Department of Health ImmunizationYour record may exist in more than one place. CHIRP may show registry data, your doctor may hold childhood vaccine history, a pharmacy may hold adult vaccines, a school may have an old copy, and another state registry may hold vaccines given before you moved to Indiana.

What Is CHIRP?
CHIRP stands for Children and Hoosier Immunization Registry Program. Indiana Department of Health describes CHIRP as a secure web-based application administered by IDOH and designed to permanently store a person’s immunization records electronically. Healthcare providers can review vaccine records and add newly administered vaccinations.
Official CHIRP page: IDOH CHIRP informationCDC’s Indiana IIS page says Indiana’s immunization information system is CHIRP and includes records for vaccine recipients of all ages. That means adults should not assume CHIRP is only for children, even though old or incomplete adult records may still require backup sources.
Federal reference: CDC IIS Policies: IndianaHow MyVaxIndiana Works
MyVaxIndiana is the Hoosier-facing way to access available CHIRP immunization history. IDOH’s MyVaxIndiana page explains that Hoosiers can access records through the use of a personal identification number, and local health departments and healthcare providers are primary access points for PINs. The current portal may also show its own verification steps, so follow the instructions on the official MyVaxIndiana website.
Official portal: MyVaxIndianaIf the record is found, save a PDF and print a clean copy. If the record is not found, do not keep entering private information into random websites. Use IDOH pages, CHIRP support, your provider, your pharmacy, school records, or another state registry.
Provider system: CHIRP-WebUse the child’s legal name, date of birth, and access details connected to the CHIRP record.
Try MyVaxIndiana and also contact the provider or pharmacy that gave adult vaccines.
Check schools, family folders, military records, old providers, and previous state registries.
How to Get Indiana Immunization Records Online Step by Step
Use this order because it begins with the official Indiana route and then moves to the fastest backup sources when a record is missing.
- Open the official MyVaxIndiana portal. Use the official portal or the IDOH MyVaxIndiana page before entering private health details.
- Follow the current portal instructions. Depending on the portal workflow and your record, you may need matching identity details, contact details, or a PIN connected to the CHIRP record.
- Review the record before using it. Check vaccine names, full dates, missing doses, spelling, and whether the record is current enough for school, work, travel, or a program deadline.
- Save and print a clean copy. Keep a PDF and paper copy. Use a clear file name such as “Indiana-CHIRP-Immunization-Record-2026.pdf.”
- Ask your healthcare provider or local health department if a PIN is needed. IDOH says local health departments and healthcare providers are primary access points for MyVaxIndiana PINs, and registered CHIRP providers can generate PINs.
- Call the original vaccine source if a dose is missing. Contact the doctor, pharmacy, clinic, hospital, school, college, or military office that may hold the original record.
- Use CHIRP support for registry access problems. CDC and CHIRP list 888-227-4439 and chirp@health.in.gov for Indiana IIS/CHIRP record support.
MyVaxIndiana PIN, Contact Details and Matching Problems
Many Indiana record searches fail because the portal cannot match the person to the CHIRP record, the PIN is missing, the phone or email changed, the name changed, or the record belongs to a dependent. Do not assume the record is gone just because the first portal attempt fails.
Official MyVaxIndiana guidance: IDOH MyVaxIndiana| Issue | What it may mean | What to try |
|---|---|---|
| No PIN | You may need help from a registered CHIRP provider or local health department. | Ask the provider, pharmacy, or local health department whether they can help with MyVaxIndiana access. |
| Wrong phone or email | The portal may not match your current contact information to the old record. | Try the contact details used at the time of vaccination, if the portal asks for them. |
| Name changed | Record may be under maiden name, previous legal name, adopted name, or hyphenated name. | Ask the provider or CHIRP support how to handle matching with previous names. |
| Child record not found | Guardian details or child identity details may not match the CHIRP record. | Contact the child’s pediatrician, school nurse, pharmacy, or local health department. |
| Portal blocked or not loading | Browser, network, maintenance, or security issue. | Try a different browser/device, then use IDOH/CHIRP support if the problem continues. |
Indiana School, Child Care and College Immunization Records
Indiana Department of Education says school immunization requirements are determined by the Indiana Department of Health. For school records, the safest document usually shows the student’s name, date of birth, vaccine name, and full month/day/year date for each immunization.
Official school page: Indiana DOE ImmunizationsSchools, child care programs, universities, nursing programs, athletics, and clinical programs may use different upload portals and deadlines. A MyVaxIndiana record may help, but always ask the school or program what exact proof it accepts before paying for repeat shots or lab work.
Related live guide: Vaccination Records Indiana| Need | Likely proof | Best action |
|---|---|---|
| Child care or preschool | Written vaccine history or provider record accepted by the program. | Use MyVaxIndiana, then call the child’s provider or local health department. |
| K-12 enrollment | Up-to-date immunization record with full dates. | Ask the school nurse or office what record format is accepted. |
| College or university | Campus vaccine form, MyVaxIndiana record, provider proof, or titers. | Follow student health or registrar upload instructions. |
| Nursing or clinical program | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, Tdap, flu, COVID-19, TB, or titers depending on program. | Ask exactly which vaccines and lab reports are required. |
| Transfer from another state | Previous state registry, provider record, or school record. | Use CDC’s IIS directory for the state where the vaccines were given. |
Adult Indiana Immunization Records
Adults often need Indiana immunization records for healthcare jobs, college programs, travel, immigration medical exams, employer onboarding, caregiver jobs, military paperwork, or personal medical history. Start with MyVaxIndiana, but also check the provider or pharmacy that gave the vaccine.
Official adult-capable registry reference: CDC Indiana IIS pageRecent adult vaccines such as flu, COVID-19, RSV, shingles, pneumonia, Tdap, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, or travel vaccines may be easiest to find through a pharmacy account, hospital portal, travel clinic, or occupational health office.
Related live guide: COVID vaccine record guideAsk occupational health whether it needs vaccine dates, titers, provider signature, or a specific upload format.
Check the school portal and ask whether MyVaxIndiana, provider records, or lab titers are accepted.
Ask the travel clinic or civil surgeon before ordering titers or repeating vaccines.
CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Kroger and Pharmacy Vaccine Records in Indiana
Many Hoosiers received adult vaccines at pharmacies instead of a doctor’s office. If MyVaxIndiana does not show a recent dose, check the pharmacy account used at the appointment and ask the pharmacy for a vaccine administration record.
Check the same CVS account, phone, email, or MinuteClinic profile used at the appointment.
Ask for your immunization history using the profile tied to the shot visit.
Contact the pharmacy location where the vaccine was administered.
Ask whether it can print a vaccine history or confirm what was reported.
Check MyChart or the health system portal for vaccines given during visits.
Request a signed vaccine record with vaccine names and full dates.
What If Your Indiana Immunization Record Is Missing?
A missing Indiana record is common and usually fixable. The vaccine may not have been entered into CHIRP, may be under a different name, may be tied to old contact information, may be in another state registry, or may be held only by a pharmacy, provider, school, military office, or old paper file.
Official support listing: CDC Indiana IIS contacts- Try exact identity details. Use legal name, old name, correct date of birth, old phone, old email, parent/guardian details, and the name used at the time of vaccination.
- Call the provider that gave the vaccine. Ask for an immunization history, vaccine administration record, or medical record copy.
- Check pharmacy and health portals. Recent adult vaccines may be in CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Kroger, local pharmacy, hospital, or MyChart-style portals.
- Ask old schools and colleges. The school nurse, registrar, student health office, or previous child care program may still have a copy.
- Check military, VA, or federal records. Military and federal care may not appear in CHIRP the way you expect.
- Ask about titers or catch-up vaccination. If records truly cannot be found, ask a clinician and the requesting organization whether lab titers or repeat vaccination are acceptable.
Wrong or Incomplete Indiana Immunization Record
If MyVaxIndiana or CHIRP shows a missing dose, wrong vaccine date, wrong name, duplicate record, or incomplete history, start with the provider or pharmacy that administered the vaccine. The original vaccine source is usually the best place to verify the correct date and support a registry update.
Official CHIRP page: IDOH CHIRP information| Problem | What it may mean | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Vaccine missing | Provider, pharmacy, or out-of-state source may not appear in the record. | Ask the original source for a vaccine administration record. |
| Wrong name | Record may be under maiden name, previous name, hyphenated name, or typo. | Contact the provider or CHIRP support with identity details. |
| Duplicate records | Vaccines may be split across more than one CHIRP profile. | Ask provider or support if records need matching help. |
| Dose date wrong | Data entry issue or provider record mismatch. | Get the original clinic or pharmacy proof before requesting correction. |
| Portal cannot find child record | Parent/guardian details may not match the child’s CHIRP record. | Call the pediatrician, school nurse, pharmacy, or local health department. |
Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, South Bend and Local Indiana Help
Indiana immunization records are statewide through CHIRP, but local help often comes from the provider, pharmacy, school, college, employer, or local health department near where the vaccine was given. This matters if you were vaccinated in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, South Bend, Bloomington, Gary, Carmel, Fishers, Muncie, Lafayette, Terre Haute, or another Indiana community.
Official IDOH immunization hub: Indiana Immunization| Local situation | Who to contact | Best wording to use |
|---|---|---|

| Moved from another state | Previous state IIS, old provider, old school, or pharmacy. | “I need the vaccine record from the state where the shot was given.” |
| Rural provider closed | Successor clinic, hospital group, medical records custodian, or local health department. | “Where were the old clinic records transferred?” |
| College or clinical requirement | Student health, registrar, nursing program, or compliance office. | “Which proof do you accept: MyVaxIndiana, provider form, or titer lab report?” |
Titer Tests When Indiana Vaccine Records Are Lost
A titer is a blood test that may show immunity to certain diseases. It can help when adult childhood records are lost, especially for healthcare jobs, nursing school, medical programs, immigration exams, and some college requirements. The organization asking for proof decides whether titers are accepted.
General record backup guidance: CDC immunization record contacts| Situation | Titers may help with | Ask before paying |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare worker | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B. | Ask occupational health what lab format is accepted. |
| Nursing or medical program | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B. | Ask whether positive IgG titers replace vaccine dates. |
| Immigration medical exam | Civil surgeon-reviewed proof. | Ask the civil surgeon first. |
| K-12 school or child care | Limited cases only. | Follow Indiana school and IDOH instructions. |
