Need Arkansas immunization records for school, child care, college, a healthcare job, travel, immigration paperwork, camp, a lost COVID card, or your own family file? Arkansas uses WebIZ as the state immunization registry, but most public users should start with the Arkansas Department of Health Shot Record Release form, a provider, a pharmacy, a school, or a local health unit.
To get Arkansas immunization records, download the Arkansas Department of Health “Authorization to Release Official Immunization History” form, fill in the patient and requester details, attach valid government-issued photo ID when required, and submit it by the official ADH route shown on the form. You can also contact the doctor, pharmacy, school, college, employer health office, local health unit, or previous state registry that may already have the record.
Official form: ADH Shot Record Release PDFThe public WebIZ login is not the normal instant-download route for most residents. WebIZ is mainly the state registry and authorized-user system. If you need a personal copy, use the ADH release form, your provider, your local health unit, or an official school/provider route.

What Is Arkansas WebIZ?
WebIZ is Arkansas’s immunization information system. The Arkansas Department of Health says WebIZ helps consolidate immunization information among healthcare professionals, support adequate immunization levels, and avoid unnecessary immunizations.
Official registry page: WebIZ — Arkansas Immunization Information SystemCDC identifies Arkansas’s IIS as WebIZ and says it includes immunization records for vaccine recipients of all ages. That means adults should not assume WebIZ is only for school children, but older adult records may still be incomplete depending on when and where vaccines were given.

Your doctor, pharmacy, school, college, local health unit, or employer may still have a record copy.
How to Get Arkansas Immunization Records Step by Step
Use this order because it starts with the official state request form and then moves to backup sources that often solve missing or incomplete record problems.
- Download the official ADH Shot Record Release form. Use the PDF titled “Authorization to Release Official Immunization History.” Avoid random third-party record lookup websites.
- Fill in patient details carefully. Add full legal name, alias or other possible names, date of birth, gender, mother’s maiden name when relevant, and current mailing address.
- Choose where the official record should be sent. The form allows walk-in/in person, mail, fax, or email delivery details. Use the route that matches your deadline and privacy needs.
- Complete the requester section and sign it. The person requesting the record must declare they are authorized as self, parent, legal guardian, managing conservator, or standing in loco parentis.
- Attach photo ID when required. The form says a valid government-issued photo ID copy is required for phone, fax, mail, or email requests. It says no photocopy of photo ID is required for walk-in requests.
- Submit by the official ADH route on the form. The form lists 1-800-574-4040, immunization.section@arkansas.gov, fax 501-661-2300, and Arkansas Department of Health Immunization Section, Slot 48, 4815 West Markham, Little Rock, AR 72205.
- Check providers and pharmacies if the record is incomplete. Ask the doctor, clinic, pharmacy, school, college, or employer health office that administered or collected the vaccines.
- Check another state if the vaccine was not given in Arkansas. Use CDC’s IIS contact directory for vaccines given in Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, another state, military, tribal, or federal systems.

Official PDF: Authorization to Release Official Immunization History| Form section | What it asks for | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|

Adult Arkansas Immunization Records
Adults often need Arkansas immunization records for healthcare employment, college, nursing school, clinical rotations, travel, immigration medical exams, military paperwork, caregiver jobs, or personal medical history. Start with the ADH release form, then check the provider, pharmacy, college, employer, military, or previous state that may have the record.
Helpful ADH WebIZ note: Do you have my vaccine information on the registry?The Arkansas WebIZ Help Desk knowledge base explains that adult records can be less complete than child records. It says Arkansas medical facilities do not have to report vaccines given to adults, although some do, with COVID vaccine reporting as a separate pandemic-era exception.
| Adult need | Best first source | What to ask for |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare job | ADH form, provider, pharmacy, occupational health. | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, Tdap, flu, COVID-19, TB screening, or titers. |

ADH immunization page: Arkansas Department of Health Immunizations| Need | Best first route | What to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Child care | ADH form, pediatrician, local health unit. | Ask what printed record or exemption paperwork is accepted. |
| K–12 school | School nurse, ADH release form, provider. | Ask if the school already has a copy and what updated proof is needed. |

Provider and Pharmacy Vaccine Records in Arkansas
If WebIZ or the ADH request does not show a complete record, check the place that gave the vaccine. Many adult records are fastest to find in pharmacy apps, provider portals, school files, employer occupational health records, military records, or older paper cards.
Old-record backup guide: Tips for finding vaccine recordsAsk for an immunization history and whether they can update WebIZ if a dose is missing.
Check the same account, phone number, and email used at the vaccination appointment.
Call the pharmacy location where the shot was administered and ask for documentation.

Arkansas COVID Vaccine Records and SMART Health Card Notes
Arkansas COVID vaccine records may be available through provider, pharmacy, clinic, or WebIZ-related routes depending on how the dose was reported. ADH guidance notes that if COVID-19 vaccinations were received in another state, vaccination information may be provided to a healthcare provider or local health unit so the information can be added to the Arkansas WebIZ record.
ADH immunization information: Arkansas ImmunizationsADH also notes that the COVID-19 SMART Health Care QR Code is not connected to WebIZ, and a new SMART Health Card is needed after an additional COVID-19 dose to ensure all vaccinations are included on the card and QR code.
| COVID record need | Best action | Important note |
|---|---|---|
| Lost CDC card | Check pharmacy, provider, and Arkansas record routes. | Do not buy or create a fake replacement card. |
| Dose from another state | Get proof from the state/provider that gave the dose. | Ask Arkansas provider/local health unit about adding it to WebIZ. |
| QR code or SMART Health Card | Use the issuer route that created the QR card. | A new dose may require a new SMART Health Card. |
| Work or travel proof | Ask the receiving office exactly what proof it accepts. | Requirements vary by organization and country. |
Why Your Arkansas Immunization Record May Be Missing
A missing Arkansas immunization record does not always mean you were never vaccinated. It may mean the record was never reported, the vaccine was given before electronic reporting, the patient name does not match, the vaccine was given in another state, or the dose is stored only with a provider, pharmacy, school, employer, military office, or old paper card.
| Problem | What it may mean | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| Record not found | Name, date of birth, alias, or mother’s maiden name may not match. | Use all possible names on the ADH form and contact the provider. |
| Adult childhood records missing | Older records may be paper-only or not fully reported to WebIZ. | Check old doctor, school files, baby book, college records, and local health unit. |
| Adult vaccines missing | Some adult vaccines may not have been reported to WebIZ. | Ask pharmacy, provider, or occupational health for a printout. |
| Vaccine given outside Arkansas | Dose may be in Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, or another state IIS. | Use CDC’s IIS contacts for the state where the vaccine was given. |
| Provider closed | Records may be with a successor practice, health system, or medical records custodian. | Search the old clinic name and contact the larger health system if applicable. |
| Military, VA or tribal clinic | Record may be in federal or tribal health systems. | Check VA, TRICARE, base clinic, IHS, or tribal health records directly. |
If You Were Vaccinated Outside Arkansas
Arkansas WebIZ may not automatically show vaccines given outside Arkansas. This is common for people who moved from Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Kansas, another state, another country, military care, tribal health, a university clinic, or a travel clinic.
Find another state registry: CDC Contacts for IIS Immunization RecordsContact the previous state registry, provider, pharmacy, or school where the vaccine was given.
Check Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, or Louisiana if the shot happened across the border.
Bring original foreign vaccine records and translations if a school, employer, or civil surgeon asks for review.
Titer Tests When Arkansas Vaccine Records Are Lost
A titer is a blood test that can show immunity to some diseases. Titers may help when adult childhood records are lost, especially for healthcare jobs, nursing school, clinical rotations, immigration exams, and college requirements. But the office requesting proof decides whether titers are accepted.
| Situation | Titers may help with | Ask first |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare job | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B. | Ask occupational health which lab result format is accepted. |
| Nursing or medical school | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, clinical placement proof. | Ask whether positive IgG titers replace vaccine dates. |
| Immigration exam | Civil surgeon-reviewed proof. | Ask the civil surgeon before paying for labs. |
| School or child care | Limited situations only. | Follow school, ADH, and provider instructions before paying for labs. |
