Need Connecticut immunization records for school, child care, camp, college, work, healthcare training, travel, immigration paperwork, COVID-19 proof, or your own family file? Connecticut’s official public route is CT WiZ, where eligible users can access available records, download a PDF, or get a COVID-19 vaccine record with a SMART Health Card when available.
The fastest way to get CT immunization records online is to start with the official CT WiZ Public Portal. Connecticut DPH says the portal allows people vaccinated in Connecticut to access their own immunization records, and parents or guardians can access a minor child’s records when the portal can match the information.
Official portal: CT WiZ Public PortalIf CT WiZ does not find your record, do not assume you were never vaccinated. Connecticut DPH notes that historical doses may not be in CT WiZ. Older vaccines, out-of-state shots, pharmacy records, school records, military records, and provider-only records may need extra follow-up.

What Is CT WiZ for Connecticut Immunization Records?
CT WiZ is Connecticut’s immunization information system. For regular residents, the public-facing doorway is the CT WiZ Public Portal. It is used to access available Connecticut immunization records for people vaccinated in Connecticut, including a parent or guardian’s access to a minor child’s record when the information matches.
Official information: CT DPH CT WiZ record pageCT WiZ is not a public “search anyone by name” website. It is a protected health-record access system. You need accurate personal details, identity verification, and a matching record. Small differences in name, date of birth, phone number, email, dependent information, or vaccination location can stop a match.
Best starting point for available Connecticut vaccine records and official downloads.
Open CT WiZHistorical doses may be missing, especially older adult records or shots given outside Connecticut.
Provider, pharmacy, school nurse, local health department, military records, or previous state registry may still matter.
CDC state IIS directoryHow to Request, Download and Print CT Immunization Records Online
Use this workflow when you need CT immunization records for school, daycare, camp, college, work, healthcare training, travel, immigration, COVID-19 proof, or personal backup.
- Open the official CT WiZ Public Portal. Use the official Connecticut portal before entering private health details. Avoid third-party “instant vaccine record” websites that are not connected to CT DPH.
- Choose whether the record is for you or a legal dependent. Adults should request their own record. Parents or guardians should use the child’s legal name, date of birth, and details most likely used by the child’s provider.
- Enter identity details carefully. Use the legal name, former last name, hyphenated name, date of birth, phone number, and email most likely connected to the vaccine record.
- Complete verification. The portal may require a verification code. If you cannot receive the code or the portal cannot match your details, move to CT DPH help routes instead of repeatedly guessing.
- Download or print the available record. When the portal finds a match, save the PDF in a private folder and print a copy if your school, employer, camp, or provider wants paper proof.
- Use the secure CT DPH form if the record is missing or incomplete. CT DPH points users to an online form when a record was not found in CT WiZ or is missing immunizations.
- Check provider, pharmacy, school or previous state records. If the shot was not entered into CT WiZ, the source provider or another state registry may be the only place with the exact dose dates.
CT WiZ PDF Record, Download Option and COVID-19 SMART Health Card
Connecticut DPH says CT WiZ users may have the option to get a PDF copy of the full immunization record or a COVID-19 vaccine record that contains a SMART Health Card. Those are not always the same thing. A full immunization record is broader. A COVID-19 SMART Health Card is mainly for COVID-19 proof in a QR-coded format when available.
Official record page: Access Your Immunization Record| Record type | Best for | Practical warning |
|---|---|---|
| Full immunization record PDF | School, child care, camp, college, healthcare job, travel clinic, personal medical file. | It depends on what is available in CT WiZ and what was reported or matched. |
| COVID-19 vaccine record | COVID dose dates, booster history, work or travel backup. | If a dose is missing, check the pharmacy or provider that administered it. |
| SMART Health Card | QR-coded COVID-19 proof when accepted by the receiving organization. | Ask the school, employer, airline, clinic, or program whether they accept this format. |
| Provider printout | When a portal record is missing, incomplete, or not accepted. | Call the provider, pharmacy, or health system that gave the vaccine. |
CT School, Child Care, Camp and Student Immunization Records
Many families search for CT immunization records because a child care center, preschool, K-12 school, camp, sports program, college, or transfer enrollment office asks for proof. The CT WiZ record can help, but the accepted proof format depends on the program. Ask the school nurse, registrar, camp office, or student health portal what document format they accept before uploading anything.
Official school resource: Connecticut required vaccines for schoolConnecticut DPH’s school vaccine page links to school requirements, child care and youth camp rules, and immunization laws. It also says that, as of 2021, Public Act 21-6 removes non-medical exemptions in Connecticut. Medical exemptions require the proper Medical Exemption Certificate process.
| School situation | Likely record source | Best action |
|---|---|---|
| Child care or preschool | CT WiZ, pediatrician, local health department, child care health file. | Ask the program what proof format is accepted before the deadline. |
| K-12 school entry | CT WiZ record, school nurse, provider record. | Check current Connecticut school immunization requirements and local school instructions. |
| Camp or sports | CT WiZ PDF, provider record, school health file. | Ask whether a printed portal record, provider-signed form, or school copy is needed. |
| College or health program | CT WiZ, student health portal, provider, old school records. | Ask whether exact dates, titers, or provider documentation are required. |
| Medical exemption | Healthcare provider and official CT medical exemption process. | Use the official Connecticut Medical Exemption Certificate route. |
Adult CT Immunization Records for Work, College, Travel and Immigration
Adults may need Connecticut vaccine records for healthcare employment, nursing school, clinical rotations, college enrollment, travel, immigration medical exams, military paperwork, caregiver jobs, public safety roles, or personal medical files. Start with CT WiZ, but do not stop there if older doses are missing.
Because CT WiZ expanded to collect records for residents of all ages starting in 2022, older adult records may be incomplete. For childhood vaccines, adult users often need backup from old doctors, schools, colleges, parent files, pharmacy accounts, employer health records, military records, or another state’s IIS.
| Adult need | Best first route | Ask before you pay |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare job | CT WiZ, provider, pharmacy, employer health office. | Ask if they need MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, Tdap, flu, COVID-19, TB screening, or titers. |
| College or nursing school | Student health portal, CT WiZ, provider, old school records. | Ask whether positive IgG titers can replace vaccine dates. |
| Travel vaccine proof | Travel clinic, pharmacy, provider, CT WiZ. | Confirm destination and travel clinic requirements early. |
| Immigration medical exam | Civil surgeon instructions plus CT WiZ, provider, and pharmacy records. | Ask the civil surgeon what records or titers they accept. |
| Lost childhood record | Old pediatrician, school records, family files, previous state registry. | Ask a clinician if titers, repeat vaccination, or catch-up vaccination is appropriate. |
What to Do If CT WiZ Cannot Find Your Immunization Record
A “record not found” result does not prove that no vaccine was given. It often means the portal could not match the details, the dose was not reported, the dose was historical, or the record is stored somewhere else.
- Try accurate identity details first. Use legal name, former last name, hyphenated name, exact date of birth, old phone, old email, and details most likely used when the vaccine was given.
- Use CT DPH’s secure record help route. CT DPH tells users to complete an online form if an immunization record is missing immunizations or was not found in the CT WiZ Public Portal.
- Contact the provider or pharmacy that gave the vaccine. Ask for a vaccine administration record, immunization history, or confirmation that the dose was reported correctly.
- Check school, college, employer or old paper files. A school nurse, college health office, camp, employer health office, military record file, or family folder may still have a copy.
- Check another state if vaccines were given outside Connecticut. State immunization registries are separate. Use the CDC directory to contact the IIS where the vaccine was actually administered.
| Problem | What it usually means | What to try next |
|---|---|---|
| Name mismatch | Record may be under old last name, maiden name, hyphenated name, or provider spelling. | Retry with old details and ask the provider to review the record. |
| Phone or email mismatch | The portal may rely on old contact information submitted by the provider. | Try the phone or email used at the vaccine appointment. |
| Historical dose missing | Older doses may not be in CT WiZ. | Check old providers, schools, parents’ files, and previous state records. |
| Out-of-state vaccine | Dose may be in another state registry, not Connecticut. | Use the CDC IIS contact directory for that state. |
| Pharmacy dose missing | Pharmacy record may not have matched correctly. | Call CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Rite Aid, Stop & Shop, Costco, or the pharmacy that gave the shot. |
| Doctor retired | Records may be with a successor practice or medical records custodian. | Search the clinic name, hospital group, local health department, and family records. |
CT Immunization Records Near Me: Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Stamford and Local Help
“CT immunization records near me” usually means the portal did not work, a school deadline is close, or someone needs a provider-signed record. In Connecticut, the right local route is not a random walk-in office. Start with CT WiZ, then contact the vaccine provider, pharmacy, school nurse, local health department, or CT DPH Immunization Program for the correct next step.
| If you are near | Common search intent | Best practical route |
|---|---|---|
| Hartford | CT DPH office, state record help, official phone support. | Use CT WiZ first; call CT DPH before mailing or visiting any office. |
| New Haven | Yale-area provider, student, hospital or pharmacy vaccine record. | Check CT WiZ, patient portal, school health office, or pharmacy account. |
| Bridgeport | School enrollment, child record, provider record. | Ask the school nurse what proof is accepted, then use CT WiZ or provider records. |
| Stamford | Adult work proof, travel proof, out-of-state vaccine history. | Use CT WiZ and check New York or other state registries if doses were given elsewhere. |
| Waterbury | Provider closed, older childhood records, school forms. | Ask the current provider, school health file, local health department, or CT DPH support. |
CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Rite Aid, Stop & Shop and Pharmacy Vaccine Records in Connecticut
Many Connecticut adults received COVID-19, flu, RSV, shingles, pneumonia, hepatitis, Tdap, or travel vaccines at a pharmacy. Those doses may appear in CT WiZ when reported and matched, but the pharmacy account is often the fastest backup source when CT WiZ is missing a dose.
Check your CVS or MinuteClinic account and ask the pharmacy for a vaccine administration record.
Use the same Walgreens profile, phone number, and email used when the vaccine was given.
Ask the specific pharmacy location where the vaccine was administered.
Check the pharmacy profile and call the store if the portal does not show the shot.
Call the store pharmacy directly if the online account does not show the vaccine.
Request vaccine names, exact dates, and provider documentation before a travel or immigration deadline.
CT Immunization Records vs Medical Records
A Connecticut immunization record is not the same thing as your complete medical record. An immunization record usually lists vaccine names, dose dates, and available vaccine history. A full medical record can include provider notes, diagnoses, lab results, medications, hospital visits, imaging, and other treatment documents.
| Need | Ask for | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| School vaccine proof | CT immunization record or school-accepted provider proof. | CT WiZ, pediatrician, school nurse, local health department. |
| Adult vaccine history | Immunization history or vaccine administration record. | CT WiZ, provider, pharmacy, previous state registry. |
| Full hospital chart | Complete medical record or visit record. | Hospital or clinic medical records department. |
| Lab proof of immunity | Titer lab results. | Doctor, lab, employer instructions, or school instructions. |
Titer Tests When Connecticut Vaccine Records Are Lost
A titer is a blood test that can show immunity to some diseases. It can be useful when adult childhood records are missing, but the organization asking for proof decides whether titers are accepted. Do not pay for labs until the school, employer, college, civil surgeon, or healthcare program confirms exactly what it accepts.
| Situation | Titers may help with | Ask first |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare job | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B. | Ask occupational health what lab format and threshold it accepts. |
| Nursing or medical school | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B. | Ask whether positive IgG titers replace vaccine dates. |
| Immigration exam | Civil surgeon-reviewed proof. | Ask the civil surgeon before paying for labs. |
| Child care or K-12 school | Only if accepted under the specific requirement. | Follow Connecticut school, provider, and DPH instructions. |
