Find, Download or Fix Your New Jersey Vaccine Record
New Jersey residents can access available official immunization records through Docket and myHealthNJ, both of which depend on information stored in the New Jersey Immunization Information System (NJIIS).
If the record does not appear, is missing doses, uses an old phone number, belongs to a child, or is needed for school or a formal paper request, use the matching recovery route below instead of repeatedly searching the same portal.

Privacy warning:
Do not enter your NJIIS professional username, driver-license number, full child identification, immunization PIN, photo ID or complete vaccine history into this page. Open the official New Jersey, Docket, provider, pharmacy or school system first.
Registry
NJIIS — New Jersey Immunization Information System.
Public access
Docket app/web and myHealthNJ.
Official PDF
Docket can generate an official NJ immunization report.
Which New Jersey vaccine-record route should you use?
Fastest public route View or download a record
Start with Docket or myHealthNJ when you need your own or an available family member’s NJIIS record.
Exact registry identity details matter.
A valid phone number or email must be associated with the record.
An official PDF can be generated when a record is found.
Search cannot find you Update demographic/contact information
Use the NJIIS update route when the record has an old phone/email, incorrect demographics or another matching problem.
Check exact first and last name.
Check DOB and legal sex.
Check old phone/email.
Check for a duplicate NJIIS profile.
Wrong or missing information Correct an NJIIS record
Start with the administering provider. For a formal change request, New Jersey also maintains IMM-45, Request for Change to NJIIS Immunization Record.
Need a formal copy Use IMM-46
IMM-46 requests a copy of the NJIIS record. It is not the same thing as IMM-45, which requests a change to the registry record.
One question prevents most wasted work:
Ask the receiving office exactly what it accepts—official Docket/NJIIS PDF, provider record, school record, out-of-state IIS report or its own institutional form.
Go directly to the problem you need to solve
This version removes generic record tools and focuses only on New Jersey tasks.
Public online access
Docket and myHealthNJ are the main online New Jersey record routes
NJDOH currently directs residents to Docket and myHealthNJ to access available official immunization records stored in NJIIS.
Docket mobile app
Useful for personal/family record access, official PDF reports, record refresh and supported SMART Health Card QR codes.
Docket web access
NJDOH’s current Docket FAQ says Docket is also available through a web browser.
myHealthNJ
NJDOH also promotes myHealthNJ as a browser-based way to access available vaccine records.
Do not confuse resident access with the NJIIS professional login.
The main NJIIS sign-in page is restricted to authorized users. A resident who simply needs a personal record should use Docket/myHealthNJ or the record-request/support routes.
Verification code, immunization PIN and international phone problems
6-digit verification code
Docket uses a verification code to verify the phone number within the app.
8-digit immunization PIN
Docket may separately ask for an immunization PIN to verify identity against a state registry.
International phone number
Docket’s current general FAQ says international phone numbers are not supported. Use the provider or health-department route for help.
Do not repeatedly guess PINs or codes.
If the authentication contact is wrong, fix the underlying NJIIS contact information instead of repeatedly restarting the same search.
Exact-match troubleshooting
What must match for Docket to find the NJIIS record?
New Jersey Docket matching checklist
Field
Why it matters
Useful troubleshooting step
First name
Must match NJIIS.
Use the name recorded by the provider rather than a nickname.
Last name
Former surnames can block a match.
Check maiden, former and current versions.
Hyphen or apostrophe
Punctuation can affect matching.
Docket says to try combinations with and without punctuation.
Date of birth
Must match the NJIIS record.
Ask the provider to verify what it submitted.
Legal sex
Part of Docket’s exact-match search.
If NJIIS contains incorrect information, use the correction/update route.
Phone number
Can be used for authentication.
Check whether an old mobile or parent number remains on file.
Email address
Can also be used for authentication.
Check old personal, parent, school or work email addresses.
Duplicate record
Vaccines may be split between two NJIIS profiles.
Ask NJIIS/provider support to review possible duplication.
Match-help script
“Docket cannot match my NJIIS record. Please verify the first name, last name, date of birth, legal sex, phone number and email currently stored in NJIIS, and check whether a duplicate registry profile exists.”
Parent and guardian workflow
How to access a child or family member’s New Jersey record
NJDOH promotes Docket and myHealthNJ for both personal and family immunization records. Pediatric records are also more likely to be complete because NJDOH says doses administered to children under seven are required to be reported to NJIIS.
Add the family member
Docket allows family-member searches from Immunization Search History.
Use the child’s exact NJIIS identity
Enter legal first/last name, DOB and legal sex exactly.
Use the likely parent contact information
A pediatric NJIIS profile may contain the phone/email originally supplied by the parent or guardian.
Download the complete official report
Use the PDF rather than a cropped screenshot when a school, camp or childcare office wants proof.
If no child record appears, call the pediatrician
Ask it to verify NJIIS identity and contact information.
Use formal NJIIS routes when needed
IMM-46 contains parent/guardian and relationship fields for formal copy requests.
Downloadable proof
Official NJIIS PDF, print copies and SMART Health Card
Official PDF
Docket’s New Jersey FAQ says the PDF option generates an official New Jersey immunization report from data entered in NJIIS.
Printed copy
Useful for school, childcare, camp, sports, work or a personal permanent file when the receiving organization accepts it.
SMART Health Card
Docket supports a SMART Health Card QR code for qualifying users with at least one COVID-19 dose on file in NJIIS.
A QR code is not a universal replacement for a full immunization report.
Ask the receiving organization whether it wants the official PDF, printout, QR code, provider record or its own form.
No match or incomplete record
Docket says “Review and Try Again”? Follow this order
Former surname
Try the name used when the vaccines were originally reported.
Old phone
The registry may still contain a previous mobile number.
Old email
The authentication contact may be a previous personal, work or parent email.
Date-of-birth mismatch
Ask the provider to verify its source record and NJIIS submission.
Duplicate NJIIS profile
Vaccinations may be split across multiple records.
Provider reporting gap
The dose may exist in the clinic or pharmacy record but be absent or incorrect in NJIIS.
Older adult history
Historical adolescent/adult doses may never have been entered electronically.
Another state
The vaccine may belong to another state’s IIS or provider record.
Recheck exact identity information
Start with legal name, DOB and legal sex.
Check old phone and email information
Think about the details supplied to the provider at the vaccination visit.
Contact the provider
Ask it to verify the NJIIS demographic record and recent vaccine reporting.
Use the NJIIS update route
New Jersey’s current public guidance points people with incomplete records toward provider help or an NJIIS record update request.
Call Docket/NJIIS record support
Use 855-568-0545 for the matching/update issues described in the official NJ Docket FAQ.
Retry from the beginning after the correction
Docket says to use the plus (+) icon after NJIIS data has been updated.
Use the NJIIS record-update route when the registry data itself is wrong
NJDOH’s current Docket messaging distinguishes an incomplete or inaccurate registry record from simply needing another copy. When demographic details or vaccinations need to be changed, use the update/correction process rather than repeatedly generating the same PDF.
Update-type problems
Wrong phone number.
Wrong or old email.
Name or demographic error.
Missing vaccine.
Incorrect vaccine date.
Possible duplicate record.
Copy-request problems
You simply need another official copy.
You need NJDOH to mail the record to an individual/entity.
Online consumer access is not practical.
Simple rule:
Wrong underlying data = update/correction route. Correct data but need another copy = Docket PDF or IMM-46.
Official correction form
IMM-45: Request for Change to NJIIS Immunization Record
New Jersey maintains IMM-45 for formal changes to an NJIIS record. The form is different from IMM-46 because it requests a change rather than a copy.
What IMM-45 asks you to prepare
Section
What it covers
What to prepare
Current NJIIS information
Name, DOB, address, registry ID if known, parent/guardian and provider information.
Copy the information as it currently appears.
Demographic changes
Corrected name, DOB, address and parent/guardian information.
Official supporting documents where applicable.
Medical-information changes
Specified non-vaccine NJIIS data categories.
Supporting medical documentation.
Immunization changes
Vaccine type, date/dose, administering provider and other correction information.
Provider/pharmacy immunization evidence.
Explanation
Reason for the requested change.
The form instructs users to attach a written statement explaining the change.
Requestor authorization
Requestor name, relationship, signature and date.
Complete the authorization accurately.
IMM-45 requires evidence.
The current form asks for identity documentation and immunization and/or medical documentation supporting the requested change.
Provider correction script
“My Docket/NJIIS record is missing or incorrectly lists the [vaccine] administered by your office around [date]. Please verify the original administration record and what was reported to NJIIS. I can provide the documentation needed for an IMM-45 correction if required.”
What if NJIIS has two records for the same person?
The January 2026 NJDOH school/NJIIS FAQ specifically identifies duplicate NJIIS records as a real issue. It says the duplicate-record process uses the NJIIS Duplicate Patient form, IMM-40.
One record has childhood vaccines
Another profile may contain newer pharmacy or adult doses.
Former surname created a second profile
Marriage, adoption or other name changes can contribute to matching problems.
Wrong date of birth
A demographic error can cause a second registry profile.
Different provider demographics
Providers may have submitted slightly different identity details.
Do not decide which doses to delete yourself.
NJDOH says only the practice that administered and entered an erroneous vaccine can delete that data-entry error. Use provider/NJIIS support for the correction.
IMM-46: Request for Copy of NJIIS Immunization Record
Use IMM-46 when a formal copy of an NJIIS record is needed. The form asks you to identify the registrant, recipient and requestor and to attach supporting identification.
Examples of acceptable identification printed on IMM-46
State-issued photo driver license with address
State-issued photo non-driver ID with address
Similar ID issued by another state
Similar federal identification

Official NJDOH record examples
Record
Official guidance
Practical action
NJIIS official immunization history
NJDOH says NJIIS produces an official child immunization history for childcare, preschool, school, camp and college enrollment/auditing.
Use Docket PDF or another official NJIIS route when available.
IMM-8 / yellow card
NJDOH identifies the Standard School/Childcare Immunization Record as another acceptable record example.
Ask the school whether the existing copy is sufficient.
A-45 Health History and Appraisal
Also identified in NJDOH school guidance.
Follow the school’s current submission process.
Out-of-state IIS record
NJ school guidance recognizes official records from other state registries.
Retrieve the official report from the state where the vaccination occurred.
Provider documentation
Useful for correcting/confirming registry history.
Ask the school whether a provider printout is accepted for the specific task.
Complete dates matter
NJDOH’s January 2026 school FAQ says vaccine administration dates should generally be documented by month, day and year. A record showing only month/year can create problems when the school cannot determine whether minimum age or timing requirements were satisfied.
School nurse script
“Please tell me exactly what record or dose is missing. Do you accept the official NJIIS/Docket PDF, an IMM-8, an official out-of-state IIS record or a provider record?”
The 30-day record grace period does not apply to every transfer
NJDOH’s January 2026 guidance says the record-documentation grace period applies to students entering a New Jersey school from another state or another country.
Out-of-state or out-of-country transfer
May receive up to 30 days to produce prior immunization history under the applicable rule.
In-state New Jersey transfer
NJDOH specifically says the 30-day grace period does not apply to ordinary in-state transfer students.
When the 30 days actually begin
The current NJDOH FAQ explains that timing depends on registration and attendance. If registration and first attendance occur the same day, documentation may be due within 30 days. If the student registers more than 30 days before the first attendance date, the required documentation is expected by the first day of attendance.
Do not wait until day 30 to start searching.
Previous schools, providers and state registries can take time to locate records.
Provisional admission is different from the 30-day record search
NJDOH describes provisional admission as a school status for a child who has received at least one dose of each applicable required vaccine and is actively completing the series as rapidly as medically feasible.
Initial documentation
At least one dose of applicable required vaccines must be documented for provisional admission.
Ongoing review
The school nurse/administrator reviews provisional students every 30 days.
One-time status
NJDOH says provisional status can be granted only once for entry/transfer into NJ schools, preschools or childcare centers.
This guide does not calculate dose timing.
The school and healthcare provider should determine whether the student meets current medical timing requirements.
Documentation, not eligibility advice
Medical and religious exemption records in New Jersey
Medical exemption
Current NJDOH guidance says a physician licensed in medicine/osteopathic medicine or a nurse practitioner can write an acceptable medical exemption.
NJDOH now also lists IMM-53, Request for Medical Exemption From Mandatory Immunization. The form is a tool and is not described as mandatory for every exemption.
Religious exemption
NJDOH says it does not provide a template religious-exemption form. The statement must identify the child, be dated and signed; a typed statement needs the parent/guardian’s handwritten signature.
NJDOH says notarization or a religious-leader signature is not required.
An unsigned email is not sufficient religious-exemption documentation under the current NJDOH guidance.
The Department says a signed statement may be printed or scanned and sent electronically.
Outbreak note:
NJDOH says children with medical/religious exemptions or provisional status may be excluded during certain vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks.

Question to ask first
College enrollment
Docket/NJIIS PDF, previous school, provider and college-health portal.
Which file/form does student health accept?
Healthcare employment
NJIIS, provider, pharmacy and occupational-health history.
Which vaccines and evidence formats does employee health require?
Clinical training

Travel
Docket/NJIIS, provider and travel-clinic records.
Does the destination/process need a specific certificate?
Personal lifelong file
Combine registry, provider, pharmacy, school and other-state history.
No external acceptance issue—focus on completeness and safe storage.
Do not order antibody testing simply because a record is missing.
NJDOH recognizes laboratory evidence in specific circumstances, but whether testing is useful or accepted depends on the requirement and clinical situation. Ask the receiving organization and healthcare professional first.
Recent adult vaccines
How to recover New Jersey pharmacy vaccine records
Use the account tied to the appointment
Try the name, phone and email used when the pharmacy vaccination was booked.
Check the pharmacy’s immunization history
Do not stop at prescription or purchase history.
Call the exact administering location
Ask for the vaccine name and exact administration date.
Ask whether the dose was reported to NJIIS
This helps determine whether the problem is the pharmacy record or registry matching.
Use pharmacy documentation for an NJIIS correction
If a reported dose is missing or wrong, keep the pharmacy record as supporting evidence.
Pharmacy script
“I need documentation for the vaccine administered at this pharmacy around [date]. Please provide the vaccine name and administration date and confirm whether the dose was reported to NJIIS under my current or former name.”
Adult and historical records
Why an older New Jersey record may be incomplete
NJDOH says pediatric records are more likely to be complete because doses administered to children under seven must be reported to NJIIS. Historical adolescent/adult immunizations may exist only in paper or provider records and may never have been entered in NJIIS.

Frequently asked questions
New Jersey vaccine records FAQs
How do I get New Jersey vaccine records online?
Start with Docket or myHealthNJ. Both can provide available personal and family immunization records from NJIIS when identity and authentication information matches the registry.
What information must match for Docket to find my record?
New Jersey’s official Docket FAQ says first name, last name, date of birth and legal sex must match NJIIS exactly. The record must also contain a valid phone number or email address for authentication.
Can I download an official New Jersey vaccine record PDF?
Yes. Docket’s official New Jersey guidance says the PDF option on the Immunization Records screen generates an official New Jersey immunization report from available NJIIS data.
Why does Docket say “Review and Try Again”?
The most common reasons are an exact-match problem, old/missing phone or email, incorrect NJIIS demographic information or a duplicate NJIIS record. Check the provider record or contact NJIIS support at 855-568-0545.
How do I correct a wrong vaccine or demographic detail in NJIIS?
Start with the provider that administered the vaccine. New Jersey also maintains IMM-45, Request for Change to NJIIS Immunization Record, which requires supporting identification and documentation for the requested change.
What is the difference between IMM-45 and IMM-46?
IMM-45 requests a change to an NJIIS record. IMM-46 requests a copy of an NJIIS record. Use the form that matches the task rather than using IMM-46 to try to fix incorrect data.
Can parents get a child’s record through Docket?
NJDOH supports personal and family record access through Docket/myHealthNJ. If a child cannot be matched, ask the pediatrician to verify the child’s NJIIS identity and parent contact information or use the formal support/request route.
Can an NJIIS record be used for school?
NJDOH says NJIIS produces an official child immunization history that can be used for childcare, preschool, school, camp and college enrollment and immunization-record auditing.
Does every New Jersey transfer student get 30 days to provide vaccine records?
No. Current NJDOH guidance says the 30-day record grace period applies to students entering from another state or another country and does not apply to ordinary in-state New Jersey transfers.
Why might an older adult New Jersey vaccine history be incomplete?
NJDOH says pediatric records are generally more complete because doses administered to children under seven must be reported. Historical adolescent and adult vaccines may still exist only with providers, pharmacies, schools, employers, military systems, family records or another state registry.
