Need state of Indiana immunization records for school, child care, college, a healthcare job, travel, immigration paperwork, camp, sports, senior care, a lost vaccine card, or your own medical folder? Start with MyVaxIndiana when you have a PIN, then use your provider, pharmacy, school, local health department, CHIRP Help Desk, or another state registry if the record does not match.
The fastest official route for many Indiana immunization records is MyVaxIndiana, but you usually need a PIN from a registered CHIRP provider or local health department. MyVaxIndiana can be used to check immunization history for yourself and your children when the record exists in CHIRP and the PIN works.
Official starting points: MyVaxIndiana portal, IDOH MyVaxIndiana information, and IDOH CHIRP pageIf MyVaxIndiana does not work, ask the doctor, clinic, pharmacy, school, or local health department that gave or documented the vaccine. The record may be missing because of name mismatch, old records, out-of-state doses, duplicate profiles, pharmacy-reporting issues, or vaccines never reported to CHIRP.

Official Indiana Immunization Record Resources
Use official Indiana sources before entering private health information anywhere. MyVaxIndiana is the public record access route when you have a PIN. CHIRP is Indiana’s registry. Providers, pharmacies, local health departments, schools, and CHIRP support are the most practical backup routes when a record cannot be found online.
Best first route when you have a valid PIN and need to view, download, fax, or print proof.

Open CDC IIS contactsWhat State of Indiana Immunization Records Usually Include
A state of Indiana immunization record usually means vaccine history recorded in CHIRP, accessed through MyVaxIndiana, printed by a provider, requested from a local health department, held by a school, or kept in a pharmacy or health-system record. MyVaxIndiana can provide official proof for school, travel or other purposes when the record and PIN are available.
Official source: IDOH MyVaxIndianaDo not treat one portal result as a perfect lifetime archive. Older childhood vaccines, out-of-state vaccines, military or VA records, international doses, pharmacy vaccines, employer clinics and old paper records may require backup proof from the original source.
Out-of-state help: CDC IIS immunization record contacts| User intent | What it means | Best action |
|---|---|---|

How to Get State of Indiana Immunization Records Online
Use this workflow when you need Indiana immunization records for school, child care, college, work, healthcare training, travel, immigration, camp, sports or personal files.
- Open the official MyVaxIndiana portal. Use the official portal directly or from IDOH’s MyVaxIndiana page. Check the URL before entering a PIN or private information. Official portal: myvaxindiana.in.gov
- Get a PIN from a registered CHIRP provider or local health department. IDOH says local health departments and healthcare providers are the primary access point for PINs, and only registered CHIRP providers can generate PINs. PIN guidance: IDOH CHIRP page
- Use the PIN to check available records. MyVaxIndiana can show immunization history for yourself or your children as recorded in CHIRP.
- Review the record before sending it. Check name spelling, date of birth, vaccine names, dose dates and whether the record is complete enough for school, child care, college, work or travel.
- Download, fax or print official proof if available. IDOH says MyVaxIndiana can download, fax or print official proof of immunization for school, travel or other purposes.
- Use provider, pharmacy, school or local health department backup. If the portal fails, call the original source that gave or documented the vaccine.
- Contact CHIRP support if normal routes fail. CHIRP support can help when the record is missing, duplicated, mismatched or blocked by access issues. Support page: CHIRP support

MyVaxIndiana PIN: How It Works and What to Do If It Fails
MyVaxIndiana is helpful only when the record can be matched and you have a working PIN. The PIN is not a public “find anyone” lookup code. It must come from a registered CHIRP provider or local health department, and it is used to access the record securely.
Official source: IDOH MyVaxIndiana page| MyVaxIndiana issue | Likely cause | Best fix |
|---|---|---|
| No PIN | User has not requested one from a registered CHIRP provider or local health department. | Call your provider, pediatrician, clinic, pharmacy or local health department. |
| PIN does not work | Wrong PIN, expired/incorrect access, or record mismatch. | Ask the PIN issuer to verify the record and issue correct access. |
| Child record missing | Parent/child details do not match, duplicate profile, or pediatric record gap. | Contact pediatrician, school nurse, local health department or CHIRP support. |
| Dose missing | Provider or pharmacy did not report it, report is delayed, or dose is under another profile. | Call the provider or pharmacy that gave the dose and ask if it was reported to CHIRP. |
| Need school proof today | Deadline is close and online access is not enough. | Ask provider, local health department or school what proof format they can accept immediately. |
What Is CHIRP and Why It Matters for Indiana Immunization Records?
CHIRP means Children and Hoosier Immunization Registry Program. IDOH describes CHIRP as a secure web-based application administered by the Indiana Department of Health and designed to store a person’s immunization records electronically. Healthcare providers can review vaccination records and record newly administered vaccinations in the registry.
Registry source: IDOH CHIRP informationCHIRP is the registry, but most residents do not use CHIRP like a provider portal. Residents usually use MyVaxIndiana, a provider, pharmacy, school, local health department or CHIRP support process to get records.
| CHIRP situation | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Record found | MyVaxIndiana or a provider matched available CHIRP data. | Save/print the record and confirm the receiver accepts it. |
| No portal access | You may need a PIN or provider/local health department assistance. | Ask a registered CHIRP provider or local health department for help. |
| Missing dose | Dose may not have been reported or may be under another profile. | Ask the original provider or pharmacy to verify and correct/report it. |
| School proof needed | The school may need a specific record format or current requirement review. | Ask school nurse/registrar what format is accepted. |
Download, Fax or Print Official Proof Through MyVaxIndiana
IDOH says Hoosiers can use MyVaxIndiana to download, fax or print official proof of immunization, which can be used for school, travel or other purposes. That means the portal can be more useful than a basic screenshot when a receiving office wants a readable official record.
Official source: IDOH MyVaxIndiana| Proof method | Best for | Smart caution |
|---|---|---|
| Download / PDF | College portals, healthcare jobs, travel folders and personal records. | Save privately and use a clear file name. |
| Printout | School office, child care, camps, senior care folders and medical appointments. | Print all pages and make sure dates are readable. |
| Fax | Some medical offices, schools or programs that still accept faxed proof. | Confirm the fax number and recipient before sending health information. |
| Provider printout | When MyVaxIndiana fails or a dose is missing. | Ask whether the receiver accepts a provider record. |
Indiana School, Child Care and College Immunization Records
Parents often need Indiana immunization records for child care, preschool, kindergarten, 6th grade, 12th grade, transfer enrollment, sports, camps or college. IDOH’s child and teen immunization page links current school-year immunization requirements and tells users to visit MyVaxIndiana for vaccine records.
Official school source: IDOH Child and Teen ImmunizationsThe practical question is not only “Do I have a record?” It is “Will the school accept this format?” Ask the school nurse, registrar, child care office or college health portal whether they accept MyVaxIndiana proof, provider printout, school record, CHIRP printout, pharmacy record or another document.
| School situation | Likely proof needed | Best action |
|---|---|---|
| Child care or preschool | Age-appropriate vaccine proof reviewed by the program. | Use pediatrician, MyVaxIndiana, local health department or school record early. |
| K-12 entry | Required vaccine dates and school-accepted documentation. | Ask the school nurse whether MyVaxIndiana or provider printout is preferred. |
| Middle or high school updates | Grade-level immunization review. | Check current IDOH school-year requirements and submit proof before registration week. |
| College or university | Student health portal vaccine list, dates or titers. | Read the college health portal before ordering labs or repeating shots. |
| Transfer from another state | Previous state record plus Indiana school review. | Bring old state records and ask the Indiana school/provider what is missing. |
Adult Indiana Immunization Records for Work, College, Healthcare Jobs and Travel
Adults often need vaccine records suddenly: a nursing program asks for MMR and hepatitis B, an employer asks for flu or COVID proof, a college portal asks for Tdap or meningococcal dates, or a travel clinic needs old vaccine history. Start with MyVaxIndiana if possible, then check providers, pharmacies, old school files, military records and previous state registries.
Adult record note: IDOH adult immunizations| Adult use | Likely proof requested | Do this first |
|---|---|---|
| College or university | Campus vaccine form, dates, upload or titers. | Read the student health portal before paying for labs. |
| Healthcare job | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, Tdap, flu, COVID, TB or titers. | Ask occupational health for exact accepted proof. |
| Travel or immigration | Routine vaccine dates, travel vaccines or civil-surgeon-reviewed proof. | Ask the travel clinic or civil surgeon what records they accept. |
| Lost childhood records | Old provider records, school files, parent files or titers. | Check MyVaxIndiana, then old doctors, schools and previous state registries. |
| Senior personal file | Readable record for flu, COVID, RSV, shingles, pneumonia, Tdap and other vaccines. | Use MyVaxIndiana, primary care portal, pharmacy profile and printed backups. |
What to Do If Indiana Immunization Records Are Missing or Wrong
A missing Indiana immunization record does not automatically mean the vaccine never happened. It often means the record is under different demographics, has not been reported, is in another state, or is stored with the original provider, pharmacy, school, employer, military/federal clinic or old paper file.
| Problem | Likely reason | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| No MyVaxIndiana PIN | PIN must come from a registered CHIRP provider or local health department. | Call the provider, pediatrician, clinic or local health department. |
| Record not found | Name, birth date, previous name, contact details or duplicate profile mismatch. | Ask provider/local health department to search CHIRP and verify demographics. |
| Missing dose | Provider or pharmacy did not report it, report is delayed or dose is in another profile. | Contact the provider or pharmacy that gave the vaccine. |
| Child record missing | Parent/child mismatch, pediatrician record gap or school record issue. | Call pediatrician, school nurse, local health department or CHIRP support. |
| Out-of-state vaccine | Dose belongs to another state registry. | Use CDC IIS directory or contact the state where the vaccine was given. |
| Old doctor retired | Paper records may be archived, transferred or stored by a records custodian. | Search successor practice, health system, school files and old medical folders. |
- Check identity details. Try legal name, previous last name, maiden name, hyphenated name, old phone, old email and exact date of birth.
- Contact the original provider or pharmacy. Ask for a vaccine administration record and whether the dose was reported to CHIRP.
- Ask for a MyVaxIndiana PIN or a printed record. A provider or local health department may solve the problem faster than portal guessing.
- Check school, college and employer files. They may have copies of records you submitted years ago.
- Use previous state registries. Indiana may not show every vaccine from Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Florida, Texas, California or another state.
- Ask a clinician before guessing. If records cannot be found, a clinician can advise about titers, catch-up doses or repeat vaccination.
CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Kroger, Meijer, Costco and Pharmacy Vaccine Records in Indiana

Check the CVS account and ask for a vaccine history from the exact pharmacy or clinic location.
Use the phone, email and profile used at the appointment; ask if the dose was reported to CHIRP.
Ask the pharmacy where the vaccine was given for a printed immunization record.
Check pharmacy profiles, old appointment emails and request a vaccine administration history.
Check MyChart or the clinic/hospital portal if the vaccine was given by a provider network.
Ask for MyVaxIndiana PIN help, CHIRP lookup or school record support.
Indiana Immunization Record Help Near Me: Local Health Department Route
People search “Indiana immunization records near me” when they do not have a MyVaxIndiana PIN, a school deadline is close, or an older vaccine record is missing. Start with the original provider or pharmacy. If that fails, contact a local health department for PIN, CHIRP lookup or school-record help.
Local route: Indiana local health departments| Indiana area | Common search intent | Practical next step |
|---|---|---|
| Indianapolis / Marion County | School proof, missing PIN, pharmacy dose or provider record. | Use provider/pharmacy, MyVaxIndiana PIN route, then local health department help. |
| Fort Wayne / Allen County | Child records, school enrollment, clinic or pharmacy records. | Ask the pediatrician or vaccine provider to print CHIRP history or generate PIN. |
| Evansville / Vanderburgh County | School, college, healthcare job or travel record help. | Ask the receiver what format is accepted before submitting screenshots. |
| South Bend / St. Joseph County | College, provider, pharmacy, old school files or Michigan-border records. | Check Indiana records and Michigan registry/provider if the vaccine was given there. |

| Rural Indiana | Old clinic, paper records, local health department or pharmacy records. | Call before visiting and ask what ID or documents are needed. |
Out-of-State, Military, Federal and International Vaccine Records
Indiana’s state system may not show every vaccine you received outside Indiana. If a dose was given in another state, that state’s registry or original provider is usually the correct source. If the vaccine was given through the military, VA, federal clinic, immigration medical process or outside the United States, it may live in a separate system.
Find another state registry: CDC IIS immunization record contacts| Vaccine source | Where to look | Indiana action |
|---|---|---|
| Another state | That state’s IIS, health department, provider or pharmacy. | Bring the official record to the Indiana school, employer, provider or program. |
| Military or VA | Military medical records, VA records, TRICARE or base clinic. | Ask if the receiving office accepts federal records or needs provider review. |
| International record | Foreign vaccine card, clinic record, translation or civil surgeon instructions. | Ask a clinician, school or civil surgeon how the record should be reviewed. |
| Old paper card | Home files, baby book, school forms, parent records or old medical folders. | Take a clear photo and ask a provider whether it can support record reconstruction. |
