Need immunization records in Louisiana for school, child care, college, healthcare work, travel, immigration paperwork, 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 safe online route, backup parish health unit help, pharmacy records, school proof, LA Wallet vaccine cards, and what to do when a record is missing.
To get immunization records in Louisiana, start with the Louisiana Department of Health vaccination records page and MyIR Mobile. If the online match does not work, ask the doctor, pharmacy, school, parish health unit, or previous state registry that most likely created the record.
Official starting point: Louisiana Department of Health — Request Vaccination RecordsLouisiana’s registry is called LINKS. MyIR Mobile is the public-facing online route for many residents. LINKS itself is mainly used by enrolled providers, schools, and authorized users, so regular residents should not treat it like a public search page.

What Is LINKS for Louisiana Immunization Records?
LINKS means Louisiana Immunization Network. It is Louisiana’s immunization information system, also called the state immunization registry. LDH says Louisiana has had an IIS called LINKS since 2001, and CDC lists Louisiana’s IIS as LINKS for immunization record contacts.
Official references: LDH request vaccination records and CDC IIS contactsLINKS is not a public “search any person” website. The LINKS web application is built for enrolled users who are allowed to search for patients, view vaccination records, and maintain vaccine data. Louisiana residents normally use MyIR Mobile, LA Wallet, a provider, a school, a pharmacy, a parish health unit, or the LDH record route.

LDH record optionsHow to Get Immunization Records in Louisiana Step by Step
Use this order if you need a Louisiana immunization record quickly and safely. It starts with the official online 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 Louisiana vaccinations 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 a 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-supported 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. Out-of-state vaccinations do not automatically appear in Louisiana records unless they are added or updated through the correct route.
- Save a clean copy. Keep one PDF and one printed copy. Use a clear file name such as “Louisiana-Immunization-Record-2026.pdf.”
Which Louisiana Record Route Should You Try First?
Choose the situation closest to yours. This small helper gives the most practical first step before you start calling around.
MyIR Mobile Louisiana: Login, Registration and Record Matching
MyIR Mobile is the main public online option Louisiana residents use to access available official immunization 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.
General MyIR help: MyIR Mobile website| 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 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 language support for Spanish users. | Log in and use the language toggle if available. |
LA Wallet Vaccine Card: Louisiana Immunization 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 the Vaccine Card area, and add a vaccination card. When the information is found, it can show the person’s immunization history.
Official support: Self — Add Vaccination CardLA Wallet is not the only official route. If the record is missing in LA Wallet, try refreshing the vaccine card, using Vaccine Card Assistance, checking MyIR, contacting the provider, or asking a parish health unit. LA Wallet support says out-of-state vaccinations do not automatically appear and must be updated in LINKS.
Out-of-state note: Vaccination received out of Louisiana| Tool | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| MyIR Mobile | Viewing, downloading, and printing available official Louisiana records. | Account details must match the LINKS record. |
| LA Wallet | Mobile display for users with linked Louisiana license or ID. | Missing or mismatched vaccine info may require assistance through the app. |
| LINKS | Authorized providers, schools, and public health users. | Not a normal public login for every resident. |
| Provider portal | Doctor, hospital, urgent care, or clinic records. | May show provider data even when MyIR 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 Immunization 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 school guidance notes vaccine requirements for Louisiana school attendance and higher education. For college, LDH notes proof of meningococcal immunization requirements for college freshmen, with medical contraindication or written dissent routes listed in state guidance.
School reporting reference: 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 Immunization Records as a PDF?
Yes, in many cases. 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: How to upload or link vaccinations in LA WalletLouisiana 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 health route: LDH record options and parish health unit route| 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 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 public health support. |
| Shreveport / Caddo Parish | Child school record, adult record, old provider records. | Ask provider, pharmacy, school nurse, MyIR, or parish health unit help. |

| Hammond / St. Tammany / Tangipahoa | School records, out-of-state transfer, LA Wallet mismatch. | Use MyIR and LA Wallet, then provider, school, or 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 Immunization 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 Immunization Records vs Full Medical Records
An immunization 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 immunization 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, or titers. | MyIR, provider, pharmacy, employer health office, or lab results. |
| Nursing or medical school | Campus-specific vaccine form, dose dates, or titers. | College health portal, MyIR, provider, parish health unit, or pharmacy. |
| Travel | Routine and travel vaccine dates. | Travel clinic, pharmacy, MyIR, and provider records. |
| Immigration medical exam | Civil surgeon-reviewed vaccination proof. | MyIR, provider, foreign records, pharmacy records, and titers if accepted. |
| Personal copy | Readable vaccine history. | MyIR, LA Wallet, provider portal, pharmacy, and parish health unit. |
Out-of-State Vaccines and Moving Immunization Records to Louisiana
If you received vaccines outside Louisiana, those shots may not automatically appear in MyIR Mobile, LINKS, or LA Wallet. LA Wallet support explains that out-of-state vaccinations need to be updated in the Louisiana Immunization Network, LINKS, database and that out-of-state providers do not have access to LINKS.
LA Wallet out-of-state support: Vaccination received out of LouisianaFor shots from Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, Florida, Alabama, New York, California, Puerto Rico, military care, or another country, contact the original provider or that state’s immunization registry first. Then ask your Louisiana provider, parish health unit, school, or LDH-supported route how the information can be reviewed or updated for Louisiana use.
