Need a Virginia vaccine record for school, child care, college, work, healthcare training, travel, immigration, military paperwork, or your own family file? Virginia uses VIIS, the Virginia Immunization Information System. This guide explains MyIR Mobile, the VDH COVID/MMR portal, school proof, local health department help, missing records, pharmacy records, and which related pages to use when your shots cross state lines.
To get Virginia immunization records online, start with the official Virginia Department of Health Request Immunization Record page. VDH lists secure electronic portals that let Virginia residents view, download, and print available immunization records from a computer or mobile device.
Official route: VDH Request Immunization RecordUse MyIR Mobile for broader official immunization record access. Use the separate VDH COVID-19 and MMR portal only when you specifically need COVID-19 or Measles, Mumps, and Rubella records. VDH says the old legacy request portal has been retired, so outdated bookmark links can waste your time.

What Is VIIS for Virginia Immunization Records?
VIIS stands for Virginia Immunization Information System. VDH describes VIIS as a free statewide registry system that combines immunization histories for people of all ages from both public and private sector sources. In plain language, VIIS is the state record system that may hold vaccine dates entered by providers, health departments, pharmacies, and other authorized reporting sources.
Official source: VDH Virginia Immunization Information SystemVIIS is not a public search-anyone database. You need the correct official route, matching identity details, and sometimes a phone number or provider assistance. A record may also be incomplete if the shot was given before broad electronic reporting, outside Virginia, by a provider that did not report correctly, or under different personal details.
VDH record access: Request Immunization RecordGeneral intent: you need your complete vaccine history or a record for family, school, work, travel, or personal files.
Start with VDHSame user need, different wording. Use MyIR Mobile first, then provider, pharmacy, school, or local health department if a match fails.
Related guideThis search usually means the user wants the Virginia Department of Health official route, not a third-party record lookup.
VDH vaccine record guideHow to Get Virginia Immunization Records Online in 2026
Use this order when you need the fastest safe route. It starts with VDH’s official public page and then moves to backup sources that actually help when the online match fails.
- Open the official VDH Request Immunization Record page. This is the safest starting point because it lists Virginia’s current resident-facing access options.
- Choose the right record portal. Use MyIR Mobile for available official immunization records. Use the VDH COVID-19 and MMR portal only for those vaccine types.
- Enter details exactly as the record may appear. Use the person’s legal name, date of birth, ZIP code, and contact details carefully. If you moved, try the ZIP or phone number connected to the vaccine record.
- Verify identity and open the matched record. If the portal finds a match, review the name, date of birth, vaccine names, and dose dates before sharing the record.
- Download, print or save the available record. Save a PDF for your files and print a copy if a school, employer, college, camp, travel office, or civil surgeon wants paper proof.
- If no record appears, do not assume you were never vaccinated. Check the provider, pharmacy, local health department, school records, college portal, military records, previous state registry, or old paper card.
- Ask the receiving office what format it accepts. A school, daycare, employer, college, healthcare program, or immigration medical office may require a specific format, not just any screenshot.
MyIR Mobile Virginia vs VDH COVID-19 and MMR Portal
Virginia has more than one public-facing route, so the “right” portal depends on what record you need. VDH’s Request Immunization Record page points residents to MyIR Mobile for official immunization record access and to a separate COVID-19 and MMR portal for those specific records.
Official VDH page: Virginia Request Immunization Record| Search intent | Best route | What to know before using it |
|---|---|---|
| Virginia immunization records online | Start with VDH page, then MyIR Mobile. | Best general route when you need a broader immunization history. |
| MyIR Virginia immunization records | MyIR Mobile. | Register, verify identity, and try to match your official record. |
| Virginia COVID vaccine record | VDH COVID/MMR portal or MyIR, depending on what works. | The VDH COVID/MMR portal is specific to COVID-19 and MMR searches. |
| Virginia MMR record | VDH COVID/MMR portal. | Useful for Measles, Mumps, and Rubella proof when the record matches. |
| Complete old vaccine history | MyIR plus provider, pharmacy, local health department, and old records. | Older doses can be missing, especially if administered before 2017 or outside Virginia. |
How to Download, Print or Save a Virginia Immunization Record PDF
When a matching Virginia record appears, review the patient name, date of birth, vaccine names, dose dates, and record source. Then use the portal’s print or download option if available. If there is no download button, use your browser’s print-to-PDF option only after confirming the full record is visible and readable.
Public record portal start: MyIR MobileDo not upload private vaccine details to random PDF-filler websites. Immunization records are health records. Use VDH, MyIR Mobile, your provider, your pharmacy, your local health department, school records, or another official route first.
For COVID-specific help: COVID Vaccine Record guide| Need | Best save format | Practical warning |
|---|---|---|
| School or daycare | Official printout, school health form, or provider/local health department proof. | Ask the school what exact record format it accepts. |
| College or nursing school | PDF plus any school-specific upload form. | Some programs require titers or provider signatures. |
| Healthcare job | PDF with vaccine dates plus occupational health paperwork. | Do not pay for titers until the employer tells you exactly what is needed. |
| Travel or immigration | Official record, pharmacy record, travel clinic record, or civil surgeon-reviewed proof. | Civil surgeons and travel clinics may require specific documentation. |
| Personal archive | PDF and printed copy stored safely. | Save records before changing phones, schools, providers, or insurance. |
Virginia School Immunization Records, Daycare Proof and MCH 213G
VDH says documentary proof of adequate age-appropriate immunization is required for attendance at public or private elementary, middle, or secondary school, childcare center, nursery school, family day care home, or developmental center. For families, the practical question is simple: ask the school what document it accepts, then get that proof from the provider, portal, local health department, or school health form process.
Official requirement page: VDH School RequirementsVirginia school searches often mention “MCH 213G.” That is the Commonwealth of Virginia School Entrance Health Form. The immunization section may need to be completed with proper vaccine dates or proof. Do not guess dates. Use VIIS, MyIR, provider records, local health department records, pharmacy records, or prior school records to support the form.
School forms start: VDH school health forms and requirements| Virginia school situation | What the family usually needs | Best action |
|---|---|---|
| Child care or daycare | Documentary proof of age-appropriate immunization. | Ask pediatrician or local health department for an accepted record. |
| Kindergarten | School entry health/immunization documentation. | Start before registration week because missing records can take time. |
| 7th grade | Updated immunization proof, including grade-level requirements. | Ask school about Tdap, MenACWY, HPV information, and current VDH requirements. |
| 12th grade | Updated proof for senior-year vaccine requirements. | Check MenACWY requirements and any school letter for the current year. |
| Out-of-state transfer | Old state record reviewed for Virginia school use. | Bring the prior state record to a Virginia provider, school nurse, or local health department. |
| Religious exemption | Virginia religious exemption form process. | Use the current VDH school requirements page and local school instructions. |
Virginia Immunization Records Near Me: Local Health Department Help
People searching “Virginia immunization records near me” usually need a local office, not a statewide explanation. In Virginia, local health departments can help when online access fails, when a provider closed, when a child needs school proof, or when old records need review.
Official locator: VDH Health Department Locator| Area search | Likely user intent | Practical answer |
|---|---|---|
| Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake | Hampton Roads vaccine or school record help. | Use MyIR first, then contact the local health district or provider that gave the shot. |
| Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield | Central Virginia school, adult, or provider record lookup. | Ask your provider or local health department to help locate VIIS or school records. |
| Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria | Northern Virginia record, DC/Maryland cross-border doses, college or work proof. | Check Virginia VIIS, then DC or Maryland records if doses were given across the border. |
| Loudoun, Prince William, Manassas | School registration, daycare proof, or old provider records. | Use VDH portal, pediatrician, school nurse, and local health department support. |
| Roanoke, Lynchburg, Charlottesville | College, healthcare job, or regional provider record. | Check university health portal, provider portal, pharmacy, and VIIS route. |
| Harrisonburg, Winchester, Southwest Virginia | Cross-border West Virginia, Tennessee, or Maryland vaccine history. | Use Virginia first, then the state where the vaccine was actually given. |
Why Your Virginia Vaccine Record May Be Missing
A missing portal result does not prove the person was never vaccinated. The dose may have been given outside Virginia, before stronger electronic reporting, at a pharmacy under a different phone number, by a retired doctor, through a military or federal clinic, or under an old name.
Official cross-state help: CDC IIS contacts for immunization records| Problem | What it may mean | What to try next |
|---|---|---|
| No MyIR match | Your name, date of birth, ZIP code, or contact details may not match the registry. | Try old ZIP code, old phone number, maiden name, or provider/local health department help. |
| COVID/MMR portal fails | The portal may need a phone number associated with the record or may not find older/out-of-state doses. | Use MyIR, provider records, pharmacy account, or VDH support. |
| Vaccine given before 2017 | Older vaccines are less likely to appear in the special COVID/MMR portal and may be paper or provider-only records. | Check pediatrician, school, college, old provider, local health department, or family records. |
| Out-of-state vaccine | The record may be in Maryland, DC, West Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, or another registry. | Contact the state where the shot was administered. |
| Pharmacy vaccine missing | The pharmacy may have the record in its own system or under a different profile. | Check CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Kroger, Giant, Safeway, Costco, or the vaccine location directly. |
| Military or VA vaccine | The shot may be in federal, VA, TRICARE, base clinic, or service medical records. | Check VA.gov, military medical records, or the clinic where the vaccine was given. |
CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Kroger, Giant and Pharmacy Vaccine Records in Virginia
Many Virginia adults received COVID-19, flu, RSV, shingles, Tdap, hepatitis, pneumonia, or travel vaccines at a pharmacy. Those records may appear in VIIS if reported and matched, but the fastest route is often the pharmacy account used at the time of vaccination.
General old-record help: Tips for locating old immunization recordsCheck CVS or MinuteClinic using the same phone, email, and date of birth used for the appointment.
Sign in to the Walgreens profile or call the pharmacy location where the shot was given.
Ask the pharmacy for a vaccine history if the online account does not show the dose.
Use the pharmacy account or call the store pharmacy directly for immunization documentation.
Check MyChart, Sentara, Inova, VCU Health, UVA Health, Carilion, HCA Virginia, or another provider portal.
Ask for vaccine names, dates, provider details, and any official travel vaccine documentation available.
Adult Virginia Immunization Records for Work, College, Travel and Immigration
Adults often search for Virginia immunization records only when a deadline is close. A nursing school, healthcare employer, college health portal, travel clinic, immigration civil surgeon, caregiver job, military process, or public safety employer may ask for proof quickly.
VDH adult starting point: Request Immunization Record| Adult use case | Common proof needed | Smart next step |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare job | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, Tdap, flu, COVID-19, TB screening, or titers. | Ask occupational health for exact requirements before paying for labs. |
| College or nursing school | Vaccine dates, school upload form, or titers. | Check the college health portal and submit the format it accepts. |
| Travel | Routine vaccine history plus travel vaccine records. | Ask the travel clinic which records or boosters are needed. |
| Immigration medical exam | Civil surgeon-reviewed vaccine proof. | Ask the civil surgeon before ordering titers or repeating shots. |
| Personal medical file | Readable immunization history with dates. | Save MyIR, provider, pharmacy, and old paper records together. |
Virginia Records When Shots Were Given in Maryland, DC, West Virginia, North Carolina or Tennessee
Virginia may not hold the full record if the vaccine was given outside Virginia. This matters for Northern Virginia, the DC metro area, military families, college students, travel workers, and people who moved between states.
