Find and Fix Your Minnesota Vaccine Record
Minnesota uses the Minnesota Immunization Information Connection, or MIIC, to store available vaccination information reported by participating Minnesota healthcare organizations and other authorized sources. Docket is usually the quickest public route for viewing and downloading a matching MIIC record.
If Docket cannot find the person, a dose is missing, the phone number is outdated, you need a one-time MDH PDF, or you need to change MIIC privacy settings, the MIIC Public Inquiry process provides the main state-level fallback.

What a MIIC immunization record does — and does not — contain
MIIC combines immunization information submitted by participating Minnesota organizations into one electronic immunization history.
MIIC can combine vaccines reported by multiple participating Minnesota healthcare providers and other authorized organizations.
MIIC covers all ages but MDH says records are more likely to be complete for children. Vaccinations before MIIC was established in 2002 can be missing.
MIIC stores immunization information. MIIC staff cannot retrieve an unrelated complete clinical chart, laboratory history or other general medical records.
How to get a Minnesota vaccine record step by step
How to retrieve a Minnesota MIIC record through Docket
MDH currently describes Docket as the quickest option for accessing a matching MIIC immunization record. Docket is optional; provider, local-public-health and Public Inquiry routes remain available.
What must match before Docket can find the MIIC record?
If Docket says no match, use this order
After MDH corrects the MIIC information
Use the MIIC Public Inquiry Form for these four jobs
Receive a PDF copy for yourself or a person whose record you have legal authority to access.
Request changes to name, gender, address, phone number or other demographic information.
Submit acceptable proof when a vaccination is missing from the MIIC record.
Request participation, limited access, opt-out or another available privacy-setting change.
How to add a documented vaccine to MIIC
| Required detail | What must appear | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Person | Name and date of birth. | Links the vaccine document to the correct MIIC record. |
| Date | Month, day and year. | A partial year or approximate date is not the complete vaccination date MDH asks for. |
| Vaccine | Vaccine type or product. | Identifies the exact immunization being added. |
Examples of documentation MDH accepts
What if Docket or MIIC says a vaccine is due or overdue?
Docket and MIIC can display vaccine recommendations based on the immunization information available in the registry.
Find the provider, school, pharmacy or old record that proves the dose and follow the MIIC update process.
Ask a qualified healthcare professional to review your actual medical and vaccination history rather than relying on the registry recommendation alone.
Participate, limit access, lock or opt out of MIIC
Minnesota allows people and parents/guardians to request changes to MIIC privacy settings.
Authorized participating organizations can access the MIIC record when they have an appropriate service relationship or authorized role.
MDH says a record can be locked to a current healthcare provider. When locked, other organizations—including other providers, schools and childcare organizations—cannot view it through MIIC.
A person may request to opt out. The demographic record is locked from MIIC users rather than simply erased.
How to use a MIIC or Docket record for school
Minnesota schools require applicable immunization documentation or legal exemption documentation. A Docket/MIIC PDF can be a useful record source, but the school decides what it needs in its file.
Download the complete PDF and ask the school nurse or enrollment office whether it satisfies the current documentation requirement.
Ask the child’s provider, school, pharmacy or local public health office for the available immunization history while the MIIC issue is being corrected.
Minnesota’s exemption guidance requires the appropriate healthcare provider to review and sign the medical exemption.
Minnesota requires the applicable signed non-medical exemption statement to be notarized.
Minnesota childcare records have their own enrollment workflow
Minnesota childcare and early childhood programs must keep applicable immunization or exemption documentation for enrolled children.
Use Docket or the child’s clinic to obtain the record, then give the program the documentation it requests.
Some licensed childcare centers can have direct MIIC access for children enrolled in their care.
MDH provides a separate non-MIIC-provider record-request route for certain family childcare providers rather than ordinary direct MIIC access.
College vaccine-record rules are not the same as K-12 rules
Minnesota’s College Immunization Law generally applies to people born after 1956 and requires applicable proof or a legal exemption for measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus and diphtheria.
MDH says these students are exempt from the college-law submission requirement because they already met the applicable Minnesota school requirement.
MDH identifies prior enrollment at another Minnesota college as another possible automatic exemption from repeating the college-law documentation.
Download the Docket/MIIC record and confirm the college accepts that format before requesting additional documents.
A nursing, medical or other clinical program can impose documentation requirements beyond the general Minnesota college law. Ask the program what it requires.
Special record routes after arriving in Minnesota
MDH says the immunization history may already be in MIIC. Use the Public Inquiry Form to request the available record.
Contact the immunization registry or healthcare provider in the first U.S. state because that state may hold the original U.S. vaccination record.
MDH directs people who completed the green-card medical process to contact the civil surgeon when the related history cannot be found in MIIC or Docket.
MDH allows translated documentation to be submitted with the original records when requesting that documented immunizations be added to MIIC.
Where to look when MIIC has only part of your vaccination history
| Source | What to check | What to request |
|---|---|---|
| Current / former clinic | Archived chart, MyChart, successor practice. | Complete immunization history with administration dates. |
| Pharmacy | Exact store, chain account, family account and old phone number. | Vaccination-administration history. |
| School / childcare | Enrollment and health records previously submitted. | A copy of the immunization documentation on file. |
| College | Student health, registrar or health-compliance records. | Previously accepted vaccine documentation. |
| Employer / occupational health | Healthcare, laboratory, childcare or work-clearance files. | Verified vaccination documentation. |
| Military / federal records | Service treatment or VA-related health records. | Available immunization history. |
| Another state | State IIS and original provider. | Official state-registry or provider vaccination history. |
Vaccines given outside Minnesota require the other state’s record route
Immunization registries are state or jurisdiction based. Check where the vaccine was administered rather than assuming your current Minnesota address determines where the record is stored.
Wisconsin uses WIR and has a separate public-record retrieval system.
Iowa uses IRIS and follows a different request workflow.
North Dakota uses NDIIS and has separate Docket and certificate options.
Use a local source when the state-level route is too slow
MDH lists local public health, primary healthcare providers and pharmacies as alternative ways to access an available MIIC record.
Do not send every Minnesota record problem to the same phone number
| Problem | Correct contact | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Public MIIC record question | health.immrecords@state.mn.us | Questions about personal MIIC records not answered in MDH record FAQs. |
| Language / accessibility assistance for Public Inquiry | 651-201-3980 | Assistance completing/accessing the public inquiry process in another language or format. |
| MIIC organization / professional technical help | health.miichelp@state.mn.us | MIIC participating-organization, user-account and technical assistance. |
| Docket technical issue | info@dockethealth.com | Docket login, downloading, app or web technical problems after underlying MIIC information is correct. |
| Urgent record deadline | Provider, pharmacy or local public health. | Attempting to obtain a faster available copy instead of waiting only for Public Inquiry. |

Minnesota vaccine record FAQs
How do I get my Minnesota vaccine record online?
Start with the Minnesota Department of Health Find My Immunization Record page and try Docket. If the MIIC record matches, Docket can display the history and provide a downloadable PDF. If Docket cannot find it, use MIIC Public Inquiry or ask your provider, pharmacy or local public health office.
What information must match for Docket to find my MIIC record?
First name, last name, date of birth and legal sex must match the MIIC record exactly. MIIC must also contain a valid phone number so Docket can verify identity.
How long does a Minnesota MIIC Public Inquiry request take?
MDH currently says MIIC Public Inquiry requests are processed within 14 business days in the order received.
Can I request my spouse or adult child’s MIIC record?
Not simply because you are related. MDH says the request must be for yourself or a person whose MIIC record you have legal authority to access.
Why can’t Docket find my Minnesota vaccine record?
Possible causes include an old phone number, name mismatch, incorrect date of birth or legal-sex value, multiple MIIC records or no matching MIIC record. Use MIIC Public Inquiry when the underlying registry information needs to be corrected.
How long should I wait for a recent vaccine to appear in MIIC?
MDH says many providers submit information quickly, but it recommends allowing at least one week for the healthcare provider to send a recent vaccination to MIIC before requesting MDH to add it.
Can I add a missing vaccination using a QR code?
No. MDH says it cannot accept a QR code alone as proof for updating MIIC. Use an accepted vaccination document showing the person’s name and birth date, vaccine type or product, and complete administration date.
Is a MIIC record a complete medical record?
No. MIIC contains immunization information and is not a complete medical chart. MIIC staff cannot retrieve unrelated medical records from your healthcare provider.
Can a Docket or MIIC record say I am overdue when I am not?
It can happen when MIIC does not contain older vaccination history. MDH specifically notes that many adults lack complete childhood records in MIIC. Ask a healthcare professional for medical advice rather than relying only on an automated due/overdue label.
Can Minnesota Department of Health provide a vaccine passport or travel QR code?
MDH says it does not provide vaccine passports, travel QR codes, signed or stamped travel vaccination records, attestation letters or similar travel documentation through MIIC.
Independent information guide — not a medical office or government registry
ImmunizationRecord.org is an independent informational website. It is not the Minnesota Department of Health, MIIC, Docket, a healthcare provider, pharmacy, school, childcare program, college, local or tribal public-health department, employer, civil surgeon or government registry.
We cannot search, access, certify, correct or release your MIIC or medical record. Do not send this website your date of birth, legal sex, phone number, child information, vaccine documents, Docket credentials or other sensitive health information.
This guide does not provide medical advice and does not determine whether you or your child should receive, repeat, delay or avoid a vaccine. It also does not determine school compliance, exemption eligibility, college clearance, employment clearance, immigration requirements or travel requirements. Confirm final requirements with the appropriate official agency, healthcare professional or receiving organization.
