01 — Quick Answer

How to Get a Mass Vaccine Record in 2026

Use the official Massachusetts My Vax Records portal to request, view, and print available vaccination records and a COVID-19 SMART Health Card from the Massachusetts Immunization Information System.

To get a mass vaccine record, open the official My Vax Records portal, enter the requested identity details, create a PIN, and open the secure record link when a match is found. From the record page, you may be able to print all immunizations, download or save the COVID-19 SMART Health Card, or keep a screenshot for personal use.

If the portal cannot find the record, do not assume the vaccine was never reported. A missing result can happen because the phone number, email, name spelling, date of birth, or provider-submitted details do not match. Try another email or mobile number, then contact the vaccine provider or use the official Massachusetts record review and amendment route.

💡
Best starting point: My Vax Records is the official Massachusetts online option. For older, out-of-state, federal, pharmacy, school, or missing records, also check the provider, pharmacy, school, military or federal agency, college, employer health office, or previous state registry.

Main portal

My Vax Records lets eligible users request, view, and print available Massachusetts vaccination history from MIIS.

Digital proof

The record may include a COVID-19 SMART Health Card QR code that can be saved to a phone or used where accepted.

Missing match

If no record appears, try another email or phone number and contact the provider to update or correct details.

02 — Record Basics

What a Massachusetts Vaccine Record Shows

A Massachusetts vaccine record is an immunization history document showing vaccine doses reported to MIIS by health care providers and other authorized reporting sources.

Your record may show COVID-19 vaccine information, influenza vaccines, tetanus or Tdap, childhood vaccines, adult vaccines, and other immunizations that were reported to MIIS. My Vax Records can also show a COVID-19 SMART Health Card when eligible record data is available.

One record may not capture every dose you received in your lifetime. Vaccines from another state, a federal agency, military health system, Indian Health Service, Veterans Affairs, old paper records, or a provider that did not submit matching details may require a separate request. This is why the best record search is layered: start with My Vax Records, then contact original providers and backup record holders when needed.

03 — My Vax Records

What Is My Vax Records and How Does It Work?

My Vax Records is Massachusetts’ official online tool for requesting, viewing, and printing vaccination records and a COVID-19 SMART Health Card from MIIS.

The portal asks for identity details that can match your record in MIIS. You will generally need your name, date of birth, and a phone number or email address associated with the vaccination record. You also create a PIN that is used to open the secure record link.

If a record is found, you can open the record page and review the available vaccine history. The user guide explains that the record may include a COVID-19 SMART Health Card and an immunization history section. It also shows that users can print all immunizations from the record page when available.

🔐
PIN warning: Do not lose the PIN you create during the request. You may need it to open the secure record link. Also check the link quickly because secure access links can expire.

My Vax Records is for public access

Use it when you need your own record or a dependent record that can be matched in the Massachusetts system.

MIIS Help Desk is not the same as public record help

The MIIS Help Desk is listed for MIIS technical assistance and vaccine reporting. For My Vax Records access questions, use the public My Vax Records help routes.

04 — Download Steps

How to Request, Download and Print a Mass Vaccine Record

Use this step-by-step walkthrough when you want a printable vaccine record, a COVID-19 SMART Health Card, or a secure copy for school, work, travel, health care, or personal files.

1
Open the official My Vax Records portal
Start with the state portal, not a private lookup website.

Go to myvaxrecords.mass.gov. Confirm that the address belongs to the official Massachusetts service before entering private health details.

If you reach the page from a search engine, look carefully at the domain. Vaccine records are private medical information, and fake record lookup pages can create privacy risk.

2
Enter name, date of birth, and contact details
Matching details are the key to finding the record.

Use your legal name, exact date of birth, and the mobile number or email that may have been attached to the vaccine record. If you changed phone numbers or emails, the first attempt may fail.

If your record is not found, try a different email or mobile number. Also consider alternate spelling, previous last name, hyphenated name, or provider-entered details.

3
Create a PIN and wait for the secure link
The PIN protects access to your record.

Create the PIN requested by the portal and save it securely. When the portal sends a secure link, open it and re-enter the PIN to view the record.

Check spam folders if you used email. If you used a mobile number, make sure the device can receive messages and that you entered the number correctly.

4
Review the record before saving or submitting it
Wrong details can cause rejection.

Check your name, date of birth, vaccine names, vaccine dates, and COVID-19 SMART Health Card details if shown. Do not submit the record to a school, employer, or program until you confirm it is yours and the dates look correct.

If a vaccine is missing or incorrect, contact the provider that gave the vaccine or use the official record request and amendment route.

5
Print all immunizations or save the SMART Health Card
Use the format the receiving organization accepts.

Massachusetts user guidance shows an option to print all immunizations from the record page when immunization history is available. The COVID-19 SMART Health Card QR code can also be saved to a mobile device or used with compatible phone wallet/health apps when supported.

Before submitting, ask the school, employer, health program, travel clinic, or agency whether it accepts a printout, screenshot, PDF, QR code, provider record, or official school form.

05 — School & College

Massachusetts Vaccine Record for School, College, Child Care and Health Programs

A mass vaccine record may be needed for public school, private school, child care, college, summer camp, health care training, clinical placement, or employment onboarding.

Start with My Vax Records if you need a copy quickly. Then ask the school, college, or program what format it accepts. Some organizations accept a state registry printout. Others may require a provider-signed form, student health portal upload, official lab titer result, or a specific school immunization document.

If your record is incomplete, contact the provider, pharmacy, clinic, or student health office that gave the vaccine. If the school already has a past copy, the school nurse, registrar, or college health office may be able to provide a copy or tell you exactly what is missing.

🏫
School deadline tip: Do not wait until move-in week, school registration, clinical placement onboarding, or the first day of child care. Missing vaccine records can take time to correct, especially if provider updates or amendment documents are needed.

K–12 and child care

Ask whether the school accepts a My Vax Records printout or requires provider documentation.

College

Check the student health portal and upload instructions before sending a screenshot or paper copy.

Clinical programs

Health care training programs may require specific vaccines, dates, titers, or provider verification.

06 — Adult Records

Adult Mass Vaccine Record for Work, Travel, Medical Visits and Personal Files

Adults may need vaccine records for jobs, travel, health care employment, immigration-related appointments, long-term care, military paperwork, college re-entry, or personal medical history.

My Vax Records is the best online starting point, but adult records can be incomplete. Older vaccines may predate electronic reporting or may be held by a provider, pharmacy, school, employer, military health system, federal agency, or another state registry.

If you cannot find older childhood or adult doses, do not guess vaccine dates. Ask a licensed health care provider whether a titer test, repeat dose, catch-up schedule, or provider review is appropriate. Medical decisions should be based on proper clinical guidance, not only on what appears online.

Adult SituationWhere to CheckImportant Note

07 — Missing or Incorrect Records

What to Do If Your Mass Vaccine Record Is Not Found or Looks Wrong

A missing My Vax Records result usually means the portal could not match your details, or the record needs provider correction. It does not automatically mean no record exists.

1
Try a different email or mobile number
The contact detail must match the submitted record.

The user guide explains that a record may not be found when the email or mobile phone number was not included or does not match. Try other phone numbers or emails that may have been used when you were vaccinated.

2
Check name spelling and date of birth
Small differences can block a match.

Try legal name, previous last name, hyphenated name, middle initial differences, and exact date of birth. For children, use the same spelling the provider, school, or parent account used.

3
Contact the vaccine provider to update the record
Provider correction may be faster than broad searching.

If a vaccine dose is missing, contact the provider, pharmacy, clinic, hospital system, or local health office that administered the vaccine. Ask them to confirm whether the dose was reported to MIIS with the correct demographic details.

4
Use the official record request or amendment process
Use this when provider correction does not solve the issue.

Massachusetts guidance says users can request a review when a record is not found and can use amendment routes when record information is incorrect. Documentation may be required, especially for clinical updates.

For missing or incorrect data, follow the latest official instructions shown through My Vax Records or Mass.gov. Do not send sensitive personal documents by ordinary email unless the official instructions specifically provide a secure method.

5
Check federal or out-of-state sources
MIIS may not contain every dose from every source.

If you received vaccines from a federal agency, such as Department of Defense, Indian Health Services, or Veterans Affairs, Massachusetts guidance says you may need to contact that agency for record assistance. For vaccines given in another state, contact that provider or state immunization registry.

⚠️
Do not submit guessed vaccine dates: Schools, employers, health care programs, and travel authorities may reject unverifiable information. Use official records, provider documents, or medical guidance.
08 — Privacy & Security

Privacy Tips Before You Download, Email or Upload a Massachusetts Vaccine Record

A mass vaccine record contains private medical and identity information. Treat it like a medical record, not a casual screenshot.

Use official Massachusetts pages, providers, pharmacies, school portals, employer health portals, or secure upload systems. Avoid uploading vaccine records to websites that do not clearly belong to a government agency, health care provider, school, pharmacy, employer, or trusted service.

Before you email a record, ask the recipient whether a secure portal is available. If you must send a copy, confirm the email address directly with the school, employer, college, clinic, or agency. Do not post QR codes, vaccine screenshots, or full immunization histories publicly.

Check the domain

Official Massachusetts pages use Mass.gov or the official My Vax Records portal. Avoid lookalike domains.

Protect your QR code

A SMART Health Card QR code can verify vaccine details. Do not share it publicly or with unknown websites.

Use secure storage

Save records in a private folder and keep access limited to the person or organization that needs proof.

12 — Mistakes to Avoid

Common Mistakes When Requesting a Mass Vaccine Record

Most delays happen because users search the wrong website, enter mismatched contact details, forget the PIN, or assume the portal contains every lifetime vaccine dose.

Using a private lookup site

Use My Vax Records or official Mass.gov pages. Do not enter private health details into unknown vaccine record websites.

Trying only one email

If the record is not found, try another email or mobile number that may match the provider-submitted record.

Forgetting the PIN

You need the PIN to open the secure link. Save it carefully when submitting the request.

Assuming every dose appears

MIIS can show reported records, but out-of-state, federal, military, old, or unreported vaccine doses may need separate proof.

Submitting the wrong format

Ask the school, employer, or agency whether it accepts a printout, QR code, screenshot, provider form, or official upload.

Ignoring provider correction

If the record is wrong, contact the provider first when possible. Provider updates may solve missing or incorrect MIIS data.
