Colorado Vaccination Record 2026: State Registry Login Steps

Colorado · CIIS Public Portal · 2026 record access

Open, Match and Download the Correct Colorado Vaccine Record

Colorado’s statewide immunization registry is the Colorado Immunization Information System, or CIIS. Individuals and eligible parents or guardians can use its Public Portal to view and print an available official immunization record when identity and contact information match the existing registry profile.

If the portal does not match you, do not keep guessing indefinitely. Colorado also provides a CIIS access-help form, a separate manual Request to Release Immunization Record route, provider and pharmacy correction paths, and special documentation workflows for children and schools.

Current myColorado status: The direct COVID-19 Vaccination Record feature in myColorado is currently unavailable while a new experience is being developed. For now, download the record from CIIS and manually upload the PDF into myCards and Documents if you want to store it in myColorado.

Choose the Colorado record task you need

The CIIS login/search problem, an actual missing vaccine, and a manual record release are different tasks. Choose the route that matches the problem.

First decision

Use the right CIIS route before entering private information

Route 1 · self-service CIIS Public Portal

Use this first for your own record or an eligible legal dependent when your name, birth date, gender and phone/email should match the CIIS profile.

Expected result: view and print/download an available official record.

Route 2 · access failure Immunization Record Information Request Form

Use this when you are having trouble accessing your own or your minor child’s record through the Public Portal or myColorado workflow.

It specifically includes “no exact match” and “more than one record” problems.

Route 3 · manual release Request to Release Immunization Record

Use CDPHE’s separate formal release route when public self-service does not provide a usable record and identification/supporting documentation is required.

Approved records are transmitted by fax or secure email.

Route 4 · clinical correction Provider or pharmacy

Use the organization that actually administered a missing or incorrect vaccine when the problem is the clinical vaccine history rather than portal identity access.

Open CIIS Public Portal View CDPHE record options

What CIIS actually contains

A Colorado CIIS record can be official and still be incomplete

CIIS combines immunization information reported to the Colorado registry by healthcare providers, pharmacies and some schools. The Public Portal itself warns that printed records may not contain every vaccination.

CIIS is not your complete medical chart

It is an immunization registry. Diagnoses, medications, visit notes and most other clinical information remain in provider medical records.

Reporting matters

A vaccination can exist in a doctor or pharmacy record without appearing in your current CIIS output if it was not correctly reported or matched.

Outside records may remain separate

Another state’s IIS, military care, federal healthcare or international records may still need a separate search.

Best practice: Compare CIIS with provider, pharmacy and previous-state records before treating the portal output as a complete lifetime history.

Online workflow

How to get a Colorado vaccination record from CIIS

Open Colorado’s official CIIS Public Portal Use the official public portal rather than a healthcare-provider CIIS login or a third-party vaccine-record lookup website.

Select “Me” or “Dependent” Choose “Me” for your record. Choose “Dependent” only when you are authorized to request that dependent’s record.

Enter the exact first name Use the name documented by the healthcare provider rather than a nickname unless the provider actually recorded the nickname.

Enter the exact last name Consider a maiden name, previous surname, hyphenated surname or other legitimate variation used at vaccination visits if your current name does not match.

Enter date of birth and gender Both must match the existing provider-submitted CIIS information.

Choose mobile phone or email verification The contact information used for verification must match what the healthcare provider has on file.

Request the access code Check SMS, inbox, spam and junk folders.

Enter the code on the verification screen Do not give a verification code to an unsolicited caller, email sender or website.

Choose the correct record output Current Colorado instructions list Full Record, School Certificate, COVID-19 Record and COVID-19 QR Code.

Review and save every page Check the record owner’s name, vaccine names, complete dates and whether the latest vaccinations appear before sharing it.

Browser preparation: The Public Portal tells users to allow pop-ups because the official record may open separately. The portal also recommends having a PDF reader available.

What should you download from CIIS?

Current CIIS record choices
Portal choice	Useful for	Before submitting
Full Record	Personal archive, healthcare review, many college or employment requests.	Ask whether the recipient also requires its own health form or provider signature.
School Certificate	School-related immunization documentation when accepted.	A catching-up student or exempt student may need additional documentation.
COVID-19 Record	COVID-specific proof.	It does not replace a complete routine immunization history.
COVID-19 QR Code	QR-based COVID proof when the recipient accepts it.	Treat the QR image as private health information.

When unsure: Download the Full Record first and ask the receiving organization whether it prefers a School Certificate, institution-specific form or another document.

Portal troubleshooting

Why CIIS says “no exact match” or finds multiple records

Former surname The registry may use a previous last name or spelling recorded at an older visit.

Old phone number The verification contact may still be the number used at vaccination.

Old email The provider may have submitted an earlier email address.

Birth date or gender mismatch Ask the provider to compare its patient profile with CIIS.

Duplicate CIIS profiles Vaccines can be divided between records when identity details were entered differently.

Provider never reported the vaccine The dose may remain only in the provider or pharmacy system.

Vaccination happened outside Colorado Another state’s registry may still be the primary source.

Prior CIIS opt-out An exclusion decision may affect what is available through CIIS.

Provider identity-check script “The CIIS Public Portal cannot find an exact match for me. Could you verify the exact name, date of birth, gender, phone number and email associated with my patient profile and confirm whether my immunizations were reported to CIIS?”

Access-help route

Use the CIIS Immunization Record Information Request Form correctly

Colorado provides a separate access-support form for people who are having difficulty accessing their own or their child’s record through myColorado or the CIIS Public Portal.

Verify the identity information once more Compare it with the provider, pharmacy or other source before submitting a support request.

Open the official Immunization Record Information Request Form The form is submitted to the CIIS Help Desk.

Select who is having the problem Current choices include your own record, a minor child’s record and other access situations.

Select the actual access problem The form currently includes “We didn’t find an exact match,” “More than one immunization record was found,” and “Other.”

Submit only one request The official form warns that submitting multiple forms increases response delay.

Watch for secure-email follow-up The CIIS Help Desk says it follows up using a secure email message sent to the address supplied in the form.

Do not submit duplicate support forms. One complete request is better than repeatedly submitting the same problem.

Formal record release

When to use CDPHE’s Request to Release Immunization Record Form

This is different from the access-help form. It is the formal manual route for individuals and parents or guardians of minors who need CIIS records released outside the self-service portal process.

Prepare before completing the current form

Correct record-owner identity details

Current requester contact information

Proper identification required by the form

Parent/guardian supporting documents if applicable

Readable scan or copy

All required fields completed

Current secure submission instructions

Reliable secure-email or fax access

Common rejection reasons: CDPHE says incomplete forms, requests without proper ID, or requests without required supporting documentation will not be accepted.

How approved records are delivered: CDPHE currently says immunization records requested through this route are securely transmitted to the requester by fax or secure email.

Do not rely on an old copied form. Open the live CDPHE record-copy page immediately before submitting because supporting-document and form instructions can change.

Missing clinical record

What to do when a vaccination is missing from CIIS

Evidence to collect before asking for a correction
Detail	Where to find it	Why it helps
Vaccine name	Provider portal, pharmacy history, paper card or visit summary.	Identifies the clinical dose that should be reviewed.
Administration date	Receipt, visit record, claim or appointment history.	Helps the organization find the exact encounter.
Administering location	Clinic, pharmacy, employer clinic or public-health record.	Shows which organization can verify the dose.
Manufacturer or lot	Detailed administration documentation when available.	Can make clinical verification more precise.
Identity used at visit	Insurance profile, receipt, portal or appointment email.	May expose a duplicate or mismatched CIIS profile.

Recent vaccine missing

Confirm the vaccine in the provider or pharmacy system Ask for the original administration record.

Verify name and birth date Check whether the vaccination was recorded under the correct identity.

Ask whether it was submitted to CIIS Do not assume that seeing the vaccine in a pharmacy app means CIIS received the same record.

Allow reasonable reporting time Current myColorado guidance recommends allowing approximately 24–72 hours for a newly reported vaccination to appear.

Escalate unresolved problems Use the provider, CIIS Help Desk or Information Request Form with the original source evidence.

“Missing in CIIS” is not the same as “never vaccinated.” Do not alter a PDF or invent a vaccine date. A correction should come from an organization able to verify the original administration.

Correction routing

Start a Colorado record correction with the right source

Choose who should investigate the problem
Error	Best first contact	Useful evidence
Missing vaccine dose	Provider or pharmacy that administered it.	Original administration record.
Wrong vaccine date	Administering organization.	Clinical record showing correct date.
Wrong phone/email	Healthcare provider / CIIS access help.	Current contact information.
Wrong or former name	Provider / CIIS Help Desk.	Current and former legal-name information.
Duplicate CIIS records	CIIS Help Desk / Information Request Form.	Explanation that doses appear split or multiple matches were found.

Correction script “My CIIS record is missing or incorrectly showing the [vaccine/date]. The vaccination was given by [provider/pharmacy] around [date]. I have the original administration documentation. Please verify the clinical record and determine whether CIIS needs a correction or duplicate-record review.”

2026–2027 K–12

Colorado school vaccination records and the new seventh-grade Tdap timing

Before the first day of school, Colorado requires families to provide each school the student attends with an acceptable immunization document, a healthcare-provider-signed in-process plan, an exemption certificate, or a combination covering different requirements.

Current Colorado K–12 school record summary
Requirement	Standard listed dose count	Important note
Hepatitis B	3 doses	Valid dose and catch-up rules can change the practical number needed.
DTaP	5 doses	Age and prior valid doses affect catch-up requirements.
Polio / IPV	4 doses	Have the provider/school review timing and valid-dose rules.
MMR	2 doses	Colorado school rules apply unless an applicable exemption is documented.
Varicella	2 doses	Use current Colorado school documentation rules.
Tdap	1 adolescent dose	Starting in 2026–27, required before first day of seventh grade.

2026–2027 change: Colorado now requires the adolescent Tdap dose before the student’s first day of seventh grade rather than sixth-grade entry.

A seventh grader may already satisfy the new documentation requirement when the school has:

Tdap dose administered on or after the student’s 10th birthday

Provider-signed in-process plan for the applicable series

Complete medical exemption covering Tdap

Complete nonmedical exemption covering Tdap

Attendance consequence: Colorado states that a student without required immunization, in-process or exemption documentation on file must be denied attendance in accordance with the law.

FERPA and CIIS

Look up vs. add data: CDPHE says a participating school does not need written consent simply to look up a student’s immunization record in CIIS. Written consent is required if the school wants to add student immunization records to CIIS.

School nurse script “Please identify the exact vaccine, dose or document missing from the student’s file. Do you accept the CIIS School Certificate, and does the student also need an in-process plan or Colorado exemption certificate?”

Open current K–12 requirements Read FERPA / CIIS guidance

Child care, camp, college and work

The CIIS record may be only one part of the required documentation

Child care / preschool

Colorado maintains separate child-care immunization requirements and forms. Ask the program whether it wants the CIIS record, Colorado certificate, in-process plan or exemption documentation.

Day or overnight camp

Camps may collect immunization or exemption documentation even when they are not included in annual state aggregate-reporting requirements.

College / university

Higher-education requirements vary by institution and housing situation. Ask student health which exact vaccines, laboratory evidence or institution-specific forms it accepts.

For employment or healthcare training

Ask before paying for testing: Some employers, healthcare programs or colleges may have their own forms or evidence rules. Ask exactly which record, dose or laboratory proof is required before paying for titers or repeating vaccinations.

Receiving-office script “Which vaccines and exact dates do you need, and which proof formats do you accept? Can I submit my CIIS Full Record, a provider record, pharmacy documentation or another state’s official registry record?”

Colorado child-care resources

Different processes

CIIS opt-out is not a Colorado school vaccine exemption

CIIS opt-out

Colorado allows individuals or parents/guardians to request exclusion of immunization information from the registry.

This concerns registry participation and privacy.

School exemption

Colorado uses standardized medical and nonmedical exemption processes for school-required vaccines.

This concerns school documentation and attendance requirements.

Do not use an opt-out form when you actually need a school exemption. They serve different purposes.

Annual nonmedical exemption: Current K–12 guidance says parents or guardians using a nonmedical exemption must provide each school attended with a new Certificate of Nonmedical Exemption annually.

School exemption method: Colorado’s current process uses state forms. Nonmedical exemption involves either an immunizing-provider signature or completion of the state’s online education route, according to the applicable current instructions.

Search the parent health system A closed independent office may have transferred records to a hospital or larger medical group.

Ask former schools or colleges A health office may still have a previously accepted immunization record.

Check pharmacy histories Recent adult vaccinations may be easiest to recover from the administering pharmacy.

Check every previous state separately Use the IIS or original provider where each vaccine was administered.

Medical decisions belong with a healthcare professional. CDPHE notes that when records truly cannot be located, a healthcare provider can help determine the appropriate next step. This guide does not determine whether additional vaccination or laboratory testing is appropriate.

Pharmacy recovery

Find a Colorado pharmacy vaccination that is missing from CIIS

Identify the exact pharmacy location Search appointment emails, text messages, insurance claims or receipts.

Check the account used at the time The vaccine may be associated with an older phone, email or family profile.

Request clinical vaccination documentation Ask for the immunization history rather than only a purchase receipt.

Verify the patient’s identity details Confirm legal name and date of birth.

Ask whether the dose was submitted to CIIS CIIS records can include pharmacy-reported vaccinations.

Keep the original pharmacy record Preserve it even if the state record is later corrected.

Pharmacy script “I received the [vaccine] at your location around [date], but it is not appearing on my Colorado CIIS record. Please provide the administration record and tell me whether the dose was reported to CIIS.”

Moved across state lines

How to handle vaccinations administered outside Colorado

Colorado has data exchange with some other jurisdictions, but this does not guarantee every outside vaccination will automatically appear in CIIS.

States currently named by CDPHE as CIIS exchange partners include: Arizona, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Wyoming.

If the outside-state vaccination is missing

Request the source-state record Contact the IIS or provider in the state where the vaccination occurred.

Save the official outside record Keep it even if you later ask for it to be incorporated into your Colorado history.

Ask a Colorado provider to review it A healthcare provider may be able to help with verified historical records.

Use Colorado’s special outside-state guidance when applicable Current myColorado guidance says a Colorado resident with a Colorado driver license or state-issued ID can ask the provider in the other state to report the vaccination record to CIIS by email.

Frequently asked questions

Colorado vaccination record FAQs

How do I get my Colorado vaccination record online?

Use the official CIIS Public Portal. Choose whether the record is for you or an eligible dependent, enter the identity information exactly as documented by the healthcare provider, receive a verification code, verify your identity and open the available record.

What information has to match in the CIIS Public Portal?

The portal currently requires first name, last name, date of birth and gender. The mobile phone number or email used to receive the access code must also match information held in the CIIS/provider profile.

What should I do if CIIS says no exact match?

Verify legitimate former names and previous contact information, ask the healthcare provider to check the CIIS profile, and then use Colorado’s official Immunization Record Information Request Form if the problem continues.

What is the difference between the CIIS help form and the record-release form?

The Immunization Record Information Request Form is for access problems such as no exact match or multiple records. The Request to Release Immunization Record Form is the separate formal manual process for releasing an available CIIS record using the identification and supporting documents required by CDPHE.

Can I get my child’s Colorado vaccination record online?

Yes. Eligible parents or guardians can choose the dependent route in the CIIS Public Portal. If matching fails, use the child’s healthcare provider, the CIIS access-help form or CDPHE’s manual release route as appropriate.

What can I download from the CIIS Public Portal?

Current Colorado instructions list Full Record, School Certificate, COVID-19 Record and COVID-19 QR Code options.

How soon should a recently reported vaccination appear?

Current myColorado guidance says to allow approximately 24 to 72 hours for a newly reported vaccination to appear. Contact the administering provider if it remains missing.

Can I still store my vaccination record in myColorado?

Yes, but the direct COVID-19 Vaccination Record feature is currently unavailable. Download the current PDF from CIIS and manually upload it into myCards and Documents. Uploaded documents do not refresh automatically.

What changed for Colorado seventh graders in 2026–2027?

Starting with the 2026–2027 school year, Colorado requires one adolescent Tdap dose before the student’s first day of seventh grade. A qualifying dose on or after the tenth birthday, a provider-signed in-process plan or a complete exemption certificate may provide the applicable documentation route.

What if my vaccinations were given outside Colorado?

Request the record from the provider or immunization information system where each vaccination occurred. Colorado exchanges data with some states, but not every outside dose is guaranteed to appear automatically in CIIS.
