Get, Download or Fix Your Indiana Vaccine Record
Indiana stores reported immunization history in CHIRP, the Children and Hoosiers Immunization Registry Program. MyVaxIndiana is the public-facing route for eligible Hoosiers who want to access an available record for themselves or a minor.
The current process includes more than the older PIN-only workflow. Depending on your record, you may be able to verify access with a six-digit authorization code, use an existing PIN, register missing contact information, or request help from a provider, local health department or CHIRP.

Which MyVaxIndiana access route should you use?
Indiana Department of Health says the enhanced MyVaxIndiana workflow can verify eligible users by sending a six-digit authorization code to the cellphone number or email already connected with the record.
Use the instructions displayed on the current official portal rather than assuming the older PIN-only process is the only option.
MyVaxIndiana continues to document PIN access. Registered CHIRP providers can generate PINs, and older MyVax portal screens may still ask for one.
A medical provider, local health department, school or other authorized CHIRP provider may be able to help when PIN access is appropriate.
Ask your healthcare provider or local health department to verify your identity information, review the CHIRP record and help with the current MyVaxIndiana access process.
This is also a useful route when a child’s record cannot be matched correctly.
IDOH says MyVaxIndiana can provide an identity-registration path involving a valid driver’s license or Authorization Form when a usable cellphone number or email is not already registered.
Submit identity information only through the official Indiana workflow that specifically requests it.
What CHIRP contains — and what it may not contain
CHIRP stands for the Children and Hoosiers Immunization Registry Program. Indiana Department of Health describes it as a secure statewide system used to store and manage reported immunization information.
Authorized healthcare providers can review patient vaccine histories and record newly administered vaccinations.
Indiana requires pharmacies administering vaccinations to patients of any age to record those administrations in CHIRP within seven business days.
Accredited schools use CHIRP for applicable student immunization review and reporting under state and privacy requirements.
How to request Indiana immunization records step by step
Six-digit code, PIN and identity problems
| Problem | What may be happening | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Authorization code never arrives | The email address or cellphone attached to the record may be old, missing or different. | Check junk/spam, verify contact details with the provider, and use the official identity-registration fallback if offered. |
| Portal still asks for a PIN | You may be on the legacy PIN-based MyVax interface or the record may still require PIN access. | Ask a registered CHIRP provider or local health department for help and compare the page with current IDOH guidance. |
| PIN is missing | A PIN may never have been generated. | Try the enhanced MyVax flow first, or request PIN assistance from an authorized CHIRP provider. |
| Former name is not matching | The CHIRP record may use a maiden name, previous legal name or different spelling. | Give the provider/CHIRP support both current and former names. |
| Child record cannot be found | The dependent’s demographic or guardian information may not match. | Ask the child’s pediatrician or local health department to verify the CHIRP record. |
| Portal is unavailable | Maintenance, browser, network or session issue. | Try the official portal again, then use provider/local-health/CHIRP routes if the deadline cannot wait. |
Which MyVaxIndiana file should you download?
MyVaxIndiana’s own help documentation distinguishes readable official immunization records from technical personal-health-record data files.
| Output | Status/use | Practical recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Printed MyVax record | Described by MyVaxIndiana as an official State of Indiana immunization record. | Useful for paper submission and permanent personal files. |
| Downloaded readable copy | MyVaxIndiana describes the downloadable copy as official. | Use for secure school, college or employer upload when accepted. |
| Faxed record | The MyVax help page describes the faxed output as official. | Useful when the receiving office requests fax transmission. |
| HL7 VXU | Technical/personal-use data file. | Do not substitute it for ordinary official proof unless the recipient specifically requests that format. |
| CCD / PHR data | Personal-health-record format. | Useful for data interoperability, not ordinary school/employer proof. |
Use the CHIRP release form when a formal release is needed
Indiana’s Authorization to Release Immunization Records allows CHIRP to release available registry information to a specifically named person or agency.

How to retrieve a child’s Indiana immunization record
Current IDOH guidance says the enhanced workflow can be used to access available records for yourself or your minor when identity/contact matching succeeds.
The child’s provider can review its own record, review CHIRP when authorized and help identify missing or mismatched information.
Useful when the family cannot obtain a complete record from the pediatrician or needs local CHIRP assistance.

How to fix a wrong or incomplete Indiana record
MyVaxIndiana’s own portal tells users to contact a medical provider, local health department or the Indiana immunization program for address changes and missing or incorrect vaccination dates.
| Error | Start with | What to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Missing vaccine dose | Provider or pharmacy that administered it. | Administration record, visit summary or pharmacy history. |
| Wrong dose date | Original administering source. | Clinical record showing the correct date. |
| Wrong or former name | Provider, local health department or CHIRP support. | Current and previous legal names. |
| Wrong address | Provider, local health department or immunization program. | Current identifying/contact information. |
| Child cannot be matched | Pediatrician or local health department. | Child and parent/guardian identity/contact details. |
CHIRP data exclusion is different from retrieving a record
Indiana allows an individual, parent or guardian to request that immunization information be excluded from the registry. That privacy choice is different from simply correcting an error or requesting a copy.
Used when the vaccine history or demographic information is wrong or incomplete.
A separate choice to request exclusion or opt-out of immunization information from Indiana’s registry process.
Which Indiana immunization records count for school?
Indiana administrative rules define adequate immunization-history documentation more clearly than the current article explains.
| Record type | Official rule | Practical action |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare-provider record | An immunization record signed by a physician or healthcare professional can qualify as adequate documentation. | Ask for the complete vaccine history with readable dates. |
| State immunization registry record | A record from a state immunization registry is recognized. | Use the official readable MyVaxIndiana/registry record. |
| School-corporation record | A record from a school corporation can also constitute adequate documentation. | Ask a previous school to transfer the immunization record when appropriate. |
2026–2027 school-year check
IDOH currently provides a dedicated 2026–2027 school immunization requirements resource. Requirements are organized by grade level, so families should use the current school-year chart rather than an old screenshot or previous-year checklist.
Use the current IDOH preschool requirements and provide the record requested by the program.
Check the current grade-specific requirement before assuming last year’s school record is complete.
Bring previous-school, provider, state-registry and out-of-state documentation rather than only the most recent vaccine receipt.
FERPA and CHIRP
Medical exemption and religious objection records
Current IDOH school resources provide a Vaccine Medical Exemption Form and say the student’s healthcare provider should complete the form when the student qualifies.
A missing vaccination record by itself is not a medical exemption.
Indiana law provides for religious objection to school immunization requirements. This is separate from retrieving a missing CHIRP record.
Follow the current school’s and Indiana requirements for written documentation.
Why an adult Indiana immunization history can be incomplete
CHIRP includes immunization information for people of all ages, but reporting history matters. Indiana’s current provider rule requires medical providers to report covered vaccinations administered to people under 19 within seven business days, while pharmacy reporting applies to vaccine administrations for patients of any age.
The modern provider reporting mandate is not retroactive, so older childhood doses may remain only in provider, school or family files.
Do not assume every historical adult vaccination was automatically captured. Check the original healthcare source.
Pharmacies administering vaccines to patients of any age have a CHIRP reporting requirement, making pharmacy history particularly useful for recent adult doses.

Indiana CHIRP may not contain every out-of-state vaccination
Retrieve records from the jurisdiction where each vaccine was administered rather than assuming CHIRP automatically combines every state, federal and foreign record.
Ohio has a different ImpactSIIS-related record process.
Michigan uses MCIR and a separate public record-recovery workflow.
Illinois uses I-CARE/Vax Verify-related routes.
Start with the vaccinating provider, pharmacy and correct state registry instead of recreating a vaccine card.

Indiana immunization records FAQs
How do I get Indiana immunization records online?
Start with the official MyVaxIndiana portal. Current Indiana Department of Health guidance describes an enhanced six-digit authorization-code workflow while the portal also continues to document PIN access. If online access fails, contact your provider, local health department or CHIRP Help Desk.
Do I still need a PIN for MyVaxIndiana?
Not in every situation. IDOH says the enhanced MyVaxIndiana workflow can send a six-digit authorization code to a registered phone number or email. PIN access is still documented and registered CHIRP providers can generate PINs.
What if MyVaxIndiana does not have my current phone number or email?
IDOH says MyVaxIndiana provides an identity-registration route when a usable phone number or email is not already registered, including a process involving a valid driver’s license or Authorization Form. Follow the live official portal instructions.
Can I download an official Indiana immunization record?
Yes. MyVaxIndiana’s help page says printable, downloadable and faxed record copies are official State of Indiana immunization records. HL7 and personal-health-record files are described as personal-use formats rather than ordinary official proof.
How long does State Form 52665 take?
The official Authorization to Release Immunization Records says CHIRP will send the requested information as soon as possible but no later than 10 working days after receipt of the signed authorization.
Do I have to put my Social Security number on State Form 52665?
No. The form says disclosure of the requested Social Security number is voluntary and that you will not be penalized for refusing to provide it.
How do I get my child’s Indiana vaccine record?
Use MyVaxIndiana when the minor’s record and your access information can be matched. The child’s pediatrician, local health department or another registered CHIRP provider can also help retrieve or verify the record.
Why is a recent vaccine missing from CHIRP?
The vaccination may still be within the applicable reporting window, may have been submitted with incorrect patient information or may not have been successfully reported. Contact the provider or pharmacy that administered the vaccine and ask it to verify both the clinical record and CHIRP reporting.
What records can Indiana schools use as immunization documentation?
Indiana administrative rules recognize an immunization record signed by a physician or healthcare professional, a record from a state immunization registry, or a record from a school corporation as adequate immunization-history documentation.
What if my vaccinations were given outside Indiana?
Contact the healthcare provider, pharmacy or immunization registry in the state or jurisdiction where each vaccination was administered. CHIRP may not automatically contain every out-of-state, foreign, military or federal vaccination.
