Need a Connecticut vaccine record for school, child care, camp, college, a healthcare job, travel, immigration paperwork, a lost COVID card, or your own medical file? Connecticut uses CT WiZ, the state immunization information system. This guide explains how to use the CT WiZ Public Portal, what details must match, how to download a full record or COVID-19 SMART Health Card record, and what to do when old or missing vaccines do not appear.
To get Connecticut immunization records online, use the official CT WiZ Public Portal. Enter the person’s name, date of birth, gender, relationship, and the phone or email used when registering for vaccination. If CT WiZ finds an exact match, you can download a full immunization record or a COVID-19 record with a SMART Health Card option.
Official start: CT WiZ Public PortalIf the portal cannot find the record, it may be an exact-match issue, an old record issue, an out-of-state dose, a pharmacy record gap, or a dose that was never reported to CT WiZ. Connecticut DPH says CT WiZ began collecting young children’s records statewide in 1998 and expanded to all residents of all ages starting in 2022, so older historical doses may not be in CT WiZ.

What Is CT WiZ for Connecticut Immunization Records?
CT WiZ is Connecticut’s secure statewide immunization information system. It helps patients, parents, legal guardians, healthcare providers, school nurses, public health staff, and authorized users locate vaccine records when access is allowed. The public-facing route is the CT WiZ Public Portal.
Official CT WiZ page: Connecticut DPH CT WiZThe CT WiZ Public Portal allows individuals vaccinated in Connecticut to access their own immunization records, and it allows parents or guardians to access a minor child’s record. The portal does not require a regular login account, but it does require matching details and an access code sent by phone or email.
Official portal: CT WiZ Public PortalUse the official CT WiZ Public Portal before trying random vaccine lookup sites.
Open portalThe portal may provide a full immunization record or a COVID-19 record with SMART Health Card option.
Read access instructionsHistorical doses may be missing, especially older doses before CT WiZ expanded to all ages.
Read DPH guidanceHow to Get Connecticut Immunization Records Online Step by Step
Use this order if you need a record quickly and safely. It starts with the official portal, then gives backup routes for missing doses, old records, and deadline problems.
- Open the official CT WiZ Public Portal. Go directly to the Connecticut DPH public portal. Avoid search ads, paid replacement-card sites, and unofficial pages that ask for private health details before sending you to the state portal.
- Choose who the record is for. Select whether the record is for yourself or for a dependent/minor child. Parents and guardians can access minor child records; adult children generally need to access their own record.
- Enter identity details carefully. Enter the person’s name, date of birth, gender, and relationship exactly as the vaccination record may show them. A typo, old last name, or different gender field can block the match.
- Use the phone or email tied to vaccination. CT WiZ uses the mobile phone number or email address associated with the record to send an access code. Try the contact details used at the provider, pharmacy, school clinic, mass clinic, or appointment registration.
- Enter the access code. If the portal finds an exact match, request the code and check text messages, email inbox, spam folder, and junk folder.
- Download the correct record. Use “Download Full Record” for a broader immunization history. Use “Download COVID-19 Record” when you need the COVID-19 record or SMART Health Card QR code.
- If no record appears, use official support and backup sources. Contact the provider, pharmacy, school, college, employer health office, military system, prior state registry, or Connecticut DPH support form if the portal cannot locate the record.
CT WiZ Exact-Match Problems: Name, Gender, Phone, Email and Access Code
The most common Connecticut portal problem is not that the vaccine disappeared. It is that the information you entered does not exactly match what CT WiZ has on file. The portal lookup depends on details such as name, date of birth, gender, relationship, mobile phone, and email address.
Official help article: How to access an immunization record on CT WiZ| Portal problem | What it usually means | What to try next |
|---|---|---|
| No matching record | Name, date of birth, gender, phone or email may not match CT WiZ. | Try legal name, former last name, old phone, old email, or provider spelling. |
| No code arrives | Code may be sent to a different phone or email, or email may be in spam. | Try the contact used at vaccination and check spam or junk folders. |
| Child record not found | Parent contact, child spelling, relationship selection, or minor status may not match. | Use the child’s exact details and the contact used at the appointment. |
| Adult child record blocked | Parents generally cannot access an adult child’s record through their own request. | The adult should request their own CT WiZ record or use support if needed. |
| PDF does not display | Browser, device or download-folder issue. | Check downloads, allow popups, or try Chrome/Firefox on a desktop. |
Download, Print, PDF and SMART Health Card QR Code Options
If CT WiZ finds a matching record, the portal can let you download, save, or print your full immunization record. Connecticut DPH’s help article says users can click “Download Full Record” for the full immunization record or “Download COVID-19 Record” for the COVID-19 record and QR code.
Official download instructions: CT WiZ download record articleOn a desktop, the COVID-19 record may appear as a PDF. On a mobile phone, the COVID-19 record with QR code may open in a new browser tab. If nothing opens, check your downloads folder, popup settings, and browser choice before assuming the record failed.

Adult and Minor Child Access Rules in CT WiZ
Adults can access their own Connecticut immunization records through CT WiZ when the portal can match their information. Parents and legal guardians can access a minor child’s records. Adult children should generally request their own records instead of having a parent try to access them.
Official DPH page: Access your immunization record| Who needs the record? | Portal route | Important warning |
|---|---|---|
| You are 18 or older | Request your own record. | Use the phone or email tied to your vaccination record. |
| Minor child | Parent or guardian request. | Use child details plus the parent/guardian contact connected to vaccination. |
| Adult child | The adult should request their own record. | Parent access usually does not apply after the person is an adult. |
| Someone under power of attorney or release | Use official support route if portal does not fit. | DPH support may require identification, guardianship, release or power of attorney documents. |
Connecticut School, Child Care, Camp, College and Work Immunization Proof
Connecticut immunization records are often needed for child care, preschool, K-12 school, camp, college, clinical training, healthcare jobs, travel paperwork, and personal medical files. The CT WiZ full record can help, but the organization requesting proof decides what format it accepts.
Official school rules page: Connecticut immunization laws and regulationsBefore submitting a screenshot or COVID-only record, ask the school nurse, camp office, college health portal, employer, travel clinic, or civil surgeon whether they need the full CT WiZ record, a provider form, specific vaccine dates, a signed record, titers, or a program-specific form.
School and child care help: Get Vaccinated CT schools and childcare page| Use case | Likely proof needed | Best action |
|---|---|---|
| Child care or preschool | Current immunization record matching state and program requirements. | Use CT WiZ full record and ask the provider or school if anything is missing. |
| K-12 school | Full vaccine history, not just COVID proof. | Ask the school nurse which record format it accepts. |
| Summer camp | Camp-specific vaccine dates or health form. | Download full record early and compare against camp checklist. |
| College or clinical training | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, Tdap, meningococcal, COVID or titers. | Follow the college health portal before ordering labs. |
| Healthcare job | Vaccine dates, flu/COVID policy proof, TB screening or titers. | Ask occupational health for exact accepted documentation. |
| Travel or immigration | Provider-reviewed vaccine dates and accepted lab proof. | Ask the travel clinic or civil surgeon before relying on a screenshot. |
Why Connecticut Immunization Records May Be Missing or Old
A missing CT WiZ result does not automatically mean the person was never vaccinated. Connecticut DPH says CT WiZ began collecting records for young children statewide in 1998 and expanded to collect records for all residents of all ages starting in 2022. Older historical doses may not be in CT WiZ.
Official note: CT WiZ record limitsChildhood doses before modern registry reporting may only exist with a doctor, school or paper card.
Old phone numbers, old emails, maiden names and spelling differences can block portal matching.
Vaccines from New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey or another state may be in that state’s registry.
COVID-19, flu, RSV, shingles and travel vaccines may be easiest to find in pharmacy accounts first.
A school, camp, college or employer may have a record you submitted years ago.
VA, TRICARE, base clinic or federal records may be outside the state registry.
What to do when CT WiZ cannot find your record
- Try different matching details. Use old phone, old email, legal name, maiden name, hyphenated name, provider spelling and correct gender field.
- Contact the provider or pharmacy that gave the vaccine. Ask for an immunization history and whether the dose was reported to CT WiZ.
- Check school, camp, college or employer files. They may have a copy of what you submitted before.
- Use Connecticut DPH support. Complete the official support form if the record is missing immunizations or not found in the portal.
- Search other state registries. Use CDC’s IIS directory if the vaccine was given outside Connecticut.
- Ask about titers or revaccination only after checking requirements. Do not pay for labs or repeat shots until the requesting office confirms what it accepts.
Connecticut Immunization Records Near Me: Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Stamford, Waterbury, Norwalk and Eastern CT
Many Connecticut residents search by city because they want a local office, school nurse, clinic, or health district. Start with CT WiZ, then contact the provider, pharmacy, local health department, school, college, or employer health office most likely to have the vaccine record.
Statewide official start: CT WiZ Public Portal| If you live near | Likely local intent | Best practical action |
|---|---|---|
| Hartford / Central Connecticut | CT WiZ record, school form, hospital or clinic vaccine proof. | Use CT WiZ, then provider portal, pharmacy, school nurse or local health department. |
| New Haven | College, healthcare job, Yale-area provider or school requirement. | Check CT WiZ plus college health portal or provider records. |
| Bridgeport / Fairfield County | School, camp, pharmacy or health district record. | Use CT WiZ first, then contact the vaccine location or school nurse. |
| Stamford / Norwalk | Connecticut and New York mixed vaccine history. | Check CT WiZ and New York/NYC registry if shots were given across state lines. |
| Waterbury / Danbury | Provider, pharmacy, employer or school proof. | Use CT WiZ, then contact original provider, pharmacy or employer health office. |
| Eastern Connecticut | Records mixed with Rhode Island, Massachusetts or military care. | Check CT WiZ, then previous state registry, military records or local health district. |
CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Rite Aid and Pharmacy Vaccine Records in Connecticut
Many Connecticut adults received COVID-19, flu, RSV, shingles, pneumonia, hepatitis, Tdap or travel vaccines at a pharmacy. Those doses may appear in CT WiZ if reported and matched, but your pharmacy account is often the fastest backup source.
Check the same pharmacy chain where the shot was given. Use the exact name, phone number, email and date of birth used at the appointment. If you booked through an employer clinic, school clinic, mass vaccination site or old email address, the dose may be harder to match.
General old-record help: Tips for locating old immunization recordsCheck your CVS or MinuteClinic account, then ask the pharmacy for an immunization history if needed.
Use the Walgreens account tied to the appointment or call the store pharmacy where the vaccine was given.
Ask the pharmacy location for vaccine documentation if your CT WiZ record is incomplete.
Check your account or call the pharmacy where the dose was administered.
Check your patient portal if a health system or clinic administered the vaccine.
Ask for vaccine names, dates, lot numbers if available, and provider signature if your program requires it.
Connecticut COVID-19 Vaccine Record, Lost CDC Card and SMART Health Card
If you lost your white CDC COVID-19 vaccine card, start with CT WiZ Public Portal, the pharmacy or provider where you were vaccinated, and any patient portal connected to the vaccination site. A registry or pharmacy record is usually more useful than trying to recreate the paper card.

A workplace, school, travel office, healthcare program, or event may ask for a printed record, QR code, provider proof, or its own upload form.

|---|---|---|

| Provider portal | Hospital, clinic, MyChart or health system records. | Immunizations, visit summary, medical record section or downloadable PDF. |
| SMART Health Card | QR-coded proof where accepted. | Whether the organization requesting proof accepts that QR format. |
Out-of-State, Military, College, Immigration and Old Childhood Vaccine Records
Connecticut residents often have vaccine records from more than one place. This is common if you moved from New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Florida, Puerto Rico, another state, or another country, or if you received care through VA, TRICARE, military clinics, college health offices, or employer clinics.
Find another state registry: CDC IIS contacts by stateIf you moved into Connecticut, bring your prior vaccine records to your provider, school, college health office, local health department, employer health office, or civil surgeon. The receiving office may need exact vaccine names, dose dates, translations, titers, provider signatures, or a program-specific form.
| Situation | Where to look first | Backup route |
|---|---|---|
| Vaccinated in New York or NYC | NYSIIS for New York State or CIR/My Vaccine Record for NYC. | Provider, pharmacy, school, college or local health department. |
| Vaccinated in Massachusetts or Rhode Island | That state’s immunization registry or provider. | Bring records to a Connecticut provider or school for review. |
| Military, VA or TRICARE vaccine | Military, VA, base clinic or federal health record. | Ask current provider whether it can be documented in your file. |
| College or nursing school | Campus health portal requirements. | CT WiZ, provider, pharmacy, old school records and titers if accepted. |
| Immigration medical exam | Civil surgeon’s written instructions. | CT WiZ, foreign records, translations, pharmacy records and accepted titers. |
Titer Tests When Connecticut Vaccine Records Are Lost
A titer is a blood test that may show immunity to some diseases. It can help when adult childhood vaccine records are lost, especially for healthcare jobs, nursing school, medical school, college programs, immigration medical exams, or clinical training. But the organization asking for proof decides whether titers are accepted.
| Situation | Titers may help with | Ask before paying |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare job | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B. | Ask occupational health which lab result format they accept. |
| Nursing or medical school | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B. | Ask whether positive IgG titers replace vaccine dates. |
| Immigration medical exam | Civil surgeon-reviewed proof. | Ask the civil surgeon before ordering labs. |
| School or child care | Limited situations depending on requirement. | Ask the school nurse, provider or DPH guidance before using lab proof. |
