Need vaccination records in Louisiana for school, child care, college, healthcare work, travel, immigration, a new doctor, LA Wallet, or your own family folder? Louisiana uses LINKS, the Louisiana Immunization Network, and many residents can access available official records through MyIR Mobile. This guide explains the official LDH route, MyIR sign-in, LA Wallet Vaccine Card, parish health units, pharmacy records, school proof, and what to do when your vaccine history is missing.
To get vaccination records in Louisiana, start with MyIR Mobile or the Louisiana Department of Health vaccination records page. LDH also says you can ask your healthcare provider or local parish health unit for a copy. Louisiana’s immunization registry is called LINKS, and vaccine records are stored there when reported correctly.
Official starting point: Louisiana Department of Health — Request Vaccination RecordsIf MyIR does not find your record, do not assume the shots are gone. The vaccine may be under an old name, old phone number, old ZIP code, pharmacy account, provider portal, school record, military file, another state registry, or LA Wallet may need the record refreshed or corrected through LINKS.

What Is LINKS for Louisiana Vaccination Records?
LINKS means Louisiana Immunization Network. LDH says Louisiana has had an Immunization Information System called LINKS since 2001, and records are stored in the state LINKS database. CDC also identifies Louisiana’s IIS as LINKS and says it includes immunization records for vaccine recipients of all ages.
Official references: LDH request vaccination records and CDC Louisiana IIS policyLINKS is not a public search engine. The LINKS web application is mainly for enrolled users such as providers and authorized organizations. Regular residents usually use MyIR Mobile, LA Wallet, their doctor, pharmacy, school, parish health unit, or the LDH record request route.

Find a parish health unitHow to Get Vaccination Records in Louisiana Step by Step
Use this order if you need a Louisiana vaccination record quickly and safely. It starts with the public tools, then moves to provider, parish, pharmacy, school, and previous-state backup routes.
- Open the official LDH vaccination records page. Start from Louisiana Department of Health so you do not enter private health details on a random lookup site.
- Register or sign in to MyIR Mobile. MyIR lets many Louisiana residents access, review, download, and print available official vaccination records when the account can match the LINKS registry record.
- Check LA Wallet if you use a Louisiana license or state ID. LA Wallet support says the app can display completed vaccinations in Louisiana after your license or state ID is linked and the vaccination card is added.
- Ask the healthcare provider who gave the vaccine. A doctor, pediatrician, clinic, pharmacy, hospital system, college clinic, or parish health unit may be able to print your record from LINKS or from its own medical record system.
- Ask a parish health unit for a copy. LDH says residents can ask their local parish health unit for immunization records. Call first to ask what ID, relationship proof, and appointment rules apply.
- For school, ask what format the school accepts. A MyIR printout, provider record, parish health unit record, school record, or LDH route may work, but the school or college decides what proof is acceptable.
- For pharmacy shots, check the pharmacy account too. COVID-19, flu, RSV, shingles, Tdap, hepatitis, pneumonia, and travel shots may be easiest to find in CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Kroger, Costco, Sam’s Club, or another pharmacy profile.
- For out-of-state shots, contact the state where the vaccine was given. LA Wallet support says out-of-state vaccinations do not automatically appear and must be updated in LINKS.
- Save a clean copy. Keep one PDF and one printed copy. Use a clear file name such as “Louisiana-Vaccination-Record-2026.pdf.”
MyIR Mobile Louisiana: Login, Registration and Record Matching
MyIR Mobile is the main public online tool Louisiana residents use to access available official vaccination records. LDH says MyIR provides the ability to access, review, and print official vaccination records without requesting them from a doctor.
Official MyIR route: Louisiana MyIR Mobile sign-inIf MyIR does not find the record, check the details that affect matching: legal name, previous last name, date of birth, phone number, email, address, ZIP code, and vaccine provider information. A mismatch can make a real record look missing.
MyIR support topic: MyIR record matching FAQ| MyIR issue | What it may mean | What to try |
|---|---|---|
| No record found | Your account details may not match the LINKS record. | Try legal name, previous names, old ZIP code, old phone, and provider route. |
| Child not linked | Family relationship or demographic matching may be incomplete. | Ask pediatrician, school, parish health unit, or LDH route for help. |
| Missing booster | Dose may not be reported yet or may not be matched correctly. | Check pharmacy or provider account, then refresh or request correction help. |
| Need school proof | The school may require a clean official printout, not a screenshot. | Print the MyIR record and ask the school which format it accepts. |
| Need Spanish access | MyIR Mobile notes that users can toggle display language to Spanish. | Log in and use the language toggle in the top-right menu if available. |
LA Wallet Vaccine Card: Louisiana Vaccination Record on Your Phone
LA Wallet can be a helpful mobile option for Louisiana users. LA Wallet support says users can link a Louisiana driver’s license or state ID, tap Vaccine Health Card, and add a vaccination card. When the information is found, it can show the person’s vaccination information.
Official support: How to upload or link vaccinations in LA WalletLA Wallet is not the only official route. If the record is missing in LA Wallet, try refreshing the vaccine card, using the assistance option, checking MyIR, contacting the provider, or asking a parish health unit. LA Wallet support says out-of-state vaccinations do not automatically appear and need to be updated in the LINKS database.
Out-of-state note: LA Wallet out-of-Louisiana vaccination support| Tool | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| MyIR Mobile | Viewing, downloading, and printing available official Louisiana vaccination records. | Account must match the LINKS record. |
| LA Wallet | Mobile display of Louisiana vaccination information for users with linked license or ID. | Missing or mismatched vaccine info may require refresh or LDH/LA Wallet help. |
| LINKS | Authorized providers, schools, and public health users who need registry access. | It is not a normal public search page for everyone. |
| Provider portal | Doctor, hospital, urgent care, or clinic records. | May show provider data even if MyIR or LA Wallet has a matching issue. |
| Pharmacy account | Adult COVID-19, flu, RSV, shingles, travel, Tdap, and hepatitis vaccines. | Use the exact account and contact details used at vaccination. |
Louisiana Vaccination Records for School, Child Care, Camp and College
Louisiana schools, child care programs, camps, and colleges may ask for proof of immunization. The safest document is usually an official printout from MyIR, a provider, a parish health unit, a school record, or another accepted LDH-supported source. Ask the school exactly what format it wants before uploading a screenshot.
Official school page: Louisiana school attendance vaccine requirementsLDH’s school guidance and reports show that Louisiana schools work with immunization records through LINKS and school reporting requirements. For college, LDH notes proof of meningococcal immunization requirements for college freshmen, with medical contraindication or written dissent routes listed in state guidance.
School reports: Louisiana school immunization reports| Situation | Likely proof needed | Best Louisiana route |
|---|---|---|
| Child care or daycare | Child immunization record accepted by the facility. | Pediatrician, MyIR, parish health unit, or provider printout. |
| K-12 school | Official immunization dates and school-accepted record. | MyIR, school nurse, provider, parish health unit, or LINKS-supported source. |
| New student transfer | Prior state or Louisiana record reviewed by the school. | Bring old records and use CDC state registry contacts if needed. |
| College freshman | Campus-required immunization proof, often including meningococcal rules. | College health portal, MyIR, provider, pharmacy, or parish health unit. |
| Medical or written dissent | School or college-specific documentation. | Follow the current school, college, and LDH instructions directly. |
Can You Download or Print Louisiana Vaccination Records as a PDF?
Yes. LDH says MyIR provides Louisiana residents the ability to access, review, and print official vaccination records without requesting them from a doctor. If MyIR finds your record, save the official copy as a PDF and print a clean copy for school, work, travel, or personal files.
Official PDF/print route: LDH Request Vaccination RecordsIf you use LA Wallet, the Vaccine Card may be useful for mobile proof, but some schools, employers, colleges, or agencies may still ask for a PDF, printed MyIR copy, provider record, or parish health unit record. The receiving office decides what format it accepts.
LA Wallet support: Self — Add Vaccination CardLouisiana Parish Health Unit Help: New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Lafayette, Lake Charles and More
LDH says residents can ask a local Parish Health Unit for a copy of immunization records. This is especially useful when MyIR does not match, your doctor retired, your child needs school proof, a pharmacy record is incomplete, or you need help before a deadline.
Official parish finder: LDH Regional Offices & Health Units| If you live near | Common user intent | Best action |
|---|---|---|
| New Orleans / Orleans Parish | School proof, child record, adult record, LA Wallet mismatch. | Try MyIR/LA Wallet first, then provider, school, pharmacy, or Region 1 parish health unit route. |
| Baton Rouge / East Baton Rouge | College, work, child school records, adult vaccine history. | Use MyIR, provider portal, pharmacy, school office, or Region 2 public health support. |

CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Kroger, Costco and Pharmacy Vaccine Records in Louisiana
Many Louisiana adults received COVID-19, flu, RSV, shingles, pneumonia, hepatitis, Tdap, or travel vaccines at a pharmacy. Those doses may appear in LINKS/MyIR or LA Wallet if reported and matched, but the pharmacy account may be the fastest first place to check.
Use the same pharmacy chain, name, phone number, email address, date of birth, and appointment details used when the vaccine was given. If you used a different phone number or married name, the pharmacy may need that old information to find the record.
Old-record help: Immunize.org tips for locating old immunization recordsCheck CVS or MinuteClinic account records, then call the store or clinic if the shot is missing.
Use the Walgreens profile tied to the appointment and verify old contact details if needed.
Ask the Walmart pharmacy for vaccine names, dates, and printed documentation.
Check Kroger pharmacy account details or call the store where the vaccine was given.
Call the pharmacy location and verify identity, appointment date, and vaccine details.
Ask for vaccine names, exact dates, lot numbers if available, and provider signature if required.
Why Your Louisiana Vaccination Record May Be Missing
A missing Louisiana vaccine record does not always mean the vaccine was never given. It may mean the vaccine was not reported, was reported under different demographic details, was given outside Louisiana, was stored only in a pharmacy account, or is split across records.
Cross-state route: CDC immunization registry contacts by state| Problem | What it means | What to try next |
|---|---|---|
| Name mismatch | Record may be under a maiden name, old last name, hyphenated name, nickname, or spelling variation. | Ask provider, parish health unit, or MyIR support to check old names and exact date of birth. |
| ZIP code mismatch | LA Wallet or registry matching may depend on ZIP code tied to the license, ID, or record. | Try old ZIP code or update details through official support routes. |
| Old phone or email | MyIR or LA Wallet may not connect if contact details do not match. | Try the contact information used at the vaccine appointment. |
| Out-of-state vaccine | Shots from Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, Florida, or another state may not appear automatically. | Contact the previous state registry and ask how to update LINKS if Louisiana proof is needed. |
| Pharmacy-only record | The pharmacy may have the shot even when the public record does not match. | Check pharmacy app or call the exact pharmacy location. |
| Military, VA, or federal vaccine | The record may live in federal or military health systems. | Check VA, TRICARE, base clinic, or service medical records. |
Louisiana Vaccination Records vs Full Medical Records
A vaccination record is not the same as a full 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 LDH vaccination records. For full medical records, contact the provider, clinic, hospital, or pharmacy medical records department.| Need | Ask for | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| School vaccine proof | Official immunization record accepted by the school. | MyIR, provider, parish health unit, or school office. |
| Adult vaccine history | MyIR printout, LINKS-backed record, provider record, or pharmacy record. | MyIR, LA Wallet, provider, pharmacy, or parish health unit. |
| Mobile proof | LA Wallet Vaccine Card if accepted by the requester. | LA Wallet account with linked Louisiana license or ID. |
| Full clinic chart | Complete medical record or visit records. | Provider or hospital medical records department. |
| Lab proof of immunity | Titer lab results. | Doctor, lab, employer instructions, school instructions, or civil surgeon. |
Louisiana Adult Records for College, Work, Healthcare Jobs, Travel and Immigration
Adults often need Louisiana vaccination records for nursing school, college enrollment, healthcare employment, caregiver work, travel clinics, immigration medical exams, offshore or industrial work, 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 Louisiana route |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare job | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, Tdap, flu, COVID-19, TB screening, or titers. | MyIR, provider, pharmacy records, and occupational health instructions. |
| College or nursing school | Campus-specific upload, vaccine dates, meningococcal proof, or titers. | College health portal, MyIR, provider, pharmacy, or parish health unit. |
| Travel | Routine and travel vaccine dates. | Travel clinic, pharmacy, provider, MyIR, and paper backups. |
| 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, LA Wallet, provider portals, pharmacy apps, and paper backups. |
Titer tests when Louisiana 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.
Transfer Out-of-State Vaccination Records to Louisiana
If you moved to Louisiana from another state, bring the complete vaccine record to a Louisiana provider, school, college, parish health unit, or employer as appropriate. LA Wallet support says out-of-state vaccinations do not automatically appear and need to be updated in the LINKS database.
LA Wallet out-of-state note: Vaccinations received out of LouisianaIf the record is from Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, California, Puerto Rico, another state, military care, or another country, contact the place where the vaccine was given first. Then ask a Louisiana provider or parish health unit whether it can help document or update the record.
