Need a Hawaii vaccine record for school, daycare, work, travel, college, healthcare employment, or your own files? Hawaii now has the HiSIS Immunization Record Request public portal, a free Hawaii Department of Health route for official immunization records. This guide shows exactly what to enter, why a request may fail, and what to do when pharmacy, military, neighbor island, old clinic, or out-of-state vaccines are missing.
The fastest official way to get Hawaii immunization records in 2026 is the HiSIS Immunization Record Request public portal. You can request a record for yourself or a legal dependent, enter personal details, verify identity with a code, and view the immunization record when the information matches the person’s HiSIS profile.
Hawaii DOH says the portal is free and can be used to access, print, or download official records for school, daycare, work, or travel. If your email or phone does not match the HiSIS profile, contact the healthcare provider that gave the vaccines and ask them to verify your profile information in HiSIS.

What Is the Hawaii State Immunization System HiSIS?
The Hawaii State Immunization System, known as HiSIS, is Hawaii’s current immunization information system. Hawaii DOH describes HiSIS as a secure, web-based system that helps providers share immunization records, reduce missed vaccine opportunities, identify under-immunized children, and support better vaccine decision-making.
For the public, the most important part is the HiSIS Immunization Record Request portal. The portal is designed for individuals, parents, and legal guardians to access official immunization records from the Hawaii Department of Health Immunization Branch.
Use the HiSIS public portal before calling old clinics, schools, or pharmacies.
You can request a record for yourself or for a legal dependent.
Your email or mobile phone must match what is listed on the patient’s HiSIS profile.
How to Request Hawaii Immunization Records Online in 2026
Use these steps when you need an official Hawaii immunization record quickly. This is the practical route for parents, students, adults, workers, and people who need a printable record for an organization.
- Open the official HiSIS Immunization Record Request portal. Go directly to hisis.hawaii.gov. Avoid unofficial record lookup websites because they cannot issue the Hawaii DOH official immunization record.
- Choose whether the request is for you or your dependent. The portal asks whether the record request is for “Me” or “Dependent.” Use the dependent option only when you are the parent or legal guardian.
- Enter the person’s identity information exactly. Hawaii DOH’s announcement says the request uses first and last name, birthday, gender, and email address and/or mobile phone number. Use the name and contact information most likely used by the provider who gave the vaccine.
- Verify your identity with the code. The HiSIS portal explains that you receive a verification code to confirm your identity. Keep your email or phone open while requesting the record.
- View the immunization record. When the request matches, the portal lets you access the vaccination record. Review the name, date of birth, vaccine names, dates, and dose sequence before sending it anywhere.
- Print or download the record. Hawaii DOH says the official record can be accessed, printed, or downloaded. Save a PDF copy in a secure folder so you do not have to repeat the process for every school, job, or travel request.
- If the portal does not find the record, fix the profile mismatch first. Hawaii DOH says the email address or phone number entered must match the patient’s HiSIS profile. If you have trouble accessing the record, contact the healthcare provider to review and verify your information in HiSIS.
How to Download or Print a Hawaii Immunization Record from HiSIS
Once your HiSIS request is accepted, treat the record like any official medical document. Download or print a clean copy, then check it before you upload it to a school portal, employer system, travel platform, college health system, or childcare office.
| Step | What to do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Open the record | Use the portal display or PDF viewer after identity verification. | The record may open in a pop-up or PDF viewer, so browser settings matter. |
| Check identity fields | Confirm name, date of birth, and gender match the receiving office’s requirements. | A spelling difference can cause a school or employer to reject the document. |
| Check vaccine dates | Look for exact dates, not only vaccine names. | Schools, colleges, employers, and civil surgeons usually need dose dates. |
| Save PDF | Use your device’s print or download option and store the file securely. | A saved copy helps when you need the same proof later. |
| Send only when needed | Upload through the official school, employer, or medical portal. | Immunization records contain private health information. |
What Your Hawaii Immunization Record Can Include
A HiSIS record can show vaccine information submitted by participating healthcare providers to the Hawaii immunization system. Hawaii DOH describes HiSIS as a registry where healthcare providers submit immunization information, and as a system that stores records for children and adults.
Examples may include MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, Tdap, DTaP, polio, HPV, meningococcal, flu, COVID-19, and others if reported.
Most receiving offices care about the exact date each vaccine dose was given.
Records depend on what providers, pharmacies, clinics, and systems submitted to HiSIS or earlier Hawaii registry systems.
A missing vaccine does not always mean you were not vaccinated. It can mean the dose was given outside Hawaii, given by a provider that did not report it correctly, entered under an older name, stored in a pharmacy account, documented in a military record, or held in a college or school health file.
Why Your Hawaii Immunization Record May Not Show Up in HiSIS
The most common HiSIS problem is not medical—it is matching. Hawaii DOH specifically says the email address or phone number entered must match what is listed on the patient’s HiSIS profile. If your old clinic used a parent’s phone, an old mobile number, a work email, a landline, or a school contact, your current information may not match.
The portal may not verify you if the email or phone number does not match the HiSIS profile.
Marriage, adoption, hyphenated names, nicknames, and spelling differences can make records harder to locate.
Older records from Maui, Kauai, Hawaii Island, Molokai, or Lanai may need provider verification if not visible.
Vaccines from military treatment facilities may be stored in military or federal health systems as well as local systems.
COVID-19, flu, RSV, and shingles vaccines may need checking through CVS, Walgreens, Safeway, Costco, Longs, or another pharmacy account.
Vaccines from California, Washington, Nevada, Guam, American Samoa, or another state may be in that state or territory’s IIS.
What to do when HiSIS cannot find your record
- Try again with the original contact details. Use the phone or email likely on file at the clinic when the vaccine was given.
- Contact the provider who gave the vaccine. Ask them to confirm your name, birth date, gender, email, and mobile phone in HiSIS.
- Check pharmacy portals. For adult vaccines, check pharmacy apps and request a printed vaccine record if needed.
- Check old school or college files. Hawaii students often submitted Form 14 or college health clearance records that may still be in the school system.
- Use CDC’s IIS directory for other states. If the vaccine was given elsewhere, contact the state or territory where the shot happened.
Hawaii School, Daycare and College Immunization Record Requirements
Hawaii school health rules are important because many record requests come from parents trying to enroll a child. Hawaii DOE says state law requires students to meet physical examination, immunization, and tuberculosis clearance requirements before attending childcare, preschool, or public or private school in Hawaii.
Hawaii DOE also says all children attending school in Hawaii must have a signed and completed Student’s Health Record to document TB clearance, physical exam, and immunizations. For immunizations, requirements depend on age and grade. Hawaii DOE notes that medical and religious exemptions may be allowed with proper documentation, but no other exemptions are allowed by the state.
| Student situation | Record usually needed | Practical Hawaii tip |
|---|---|---|
| Childcare or preschool | Age-appropriate immunization proof plus health requirements. | Ask the program whether a HiSIS printout, provider record, or Student’s Health Record is preferred. |
| Kindergarten to grade 12 | Required immunizations based on Hawaii DOH schedule and school entry status. | New-to-Hawaii students should check requirements even if they were compliant in another state. |
| Seventh grade | Hawaii notes additional seventh-grade required immunizations. | Plan ahead because missing Tdap, HPV, or meningococcal documentation can delay clearance. |
| Post-secondary school | College-specific vaccine and TB clearance requirements. | Upload HiSIS records through the college health portal only after checking exact vaccine lists. |
| Unstable housing or immigration-related issues | School health records still matter, but enrollment protections may apply. | Hawaii DOE says children in unstable housing and certain immigrant/refugee/asylum situations may enroll while records are being transferred or requirements are being met. |
Hawaii Digital Vaccine Records and SMART Health Card Status
Hawaii DOH announced a SMART Health Card website in 2023 as a free online service for individuals 18 or older to receive official vaccination records. The announcement described the SMART Health Card as a digital record of vaccinations successfully submitted to the Hawaii Immunization Registry by healthcare providers.
Important limitation: Hawaii DOH’s 2023 announcement said patients could generate a QR code only for COVID-19 vaccinations to save on a smartphone wallet. For broader vaccine history in 2026, the HiSIS public portal is the better starting point because Hawaii DOH’s newer HiSIS announcement says the portal lets individuals, parents, and legal guardians access, print, or download official immunization records.
| Digital option | Best use | Hawaii-specific note |
|---|---|---|
| HiSIS public portal | Official immunization record request, print, and download. | Best first route for 2026 Hawaii vaccine records. |
| SMART Health Card | Digital QR proof for supported vaccination records. | Hawaii’s DOH announcement described QR generation only for COVID-19 vaccinations. |
| Provider portal | Clinic-administered vaccines, after-visit summaries, and medical records. | Use MyChart or the provider’s portal when HiSIS is missing a dose. |
| Pharmacy app | Adult vaccines given at pharmacies. | Check Longs/CVS, Walgreens, Safeway, Costco, or the pharmacy where the vaccine was given. |
Hard Hawaii Immunization Record Cases: Retired Doctors, Out-of-State Shots and Old Records
Your Hawaii doctor retired or the clinic closed
Start with HiSIS. If your record is incomplete, search for the clinic’s successor organization or medical records custodian. In Hawaii, small clinics may merge, change ownership, or transfer patient charts to another practice. Ask your current provider to review any paper record you find and enter valid historical immunization documentation into HiSIS when appropriate.
You were vaccinated on Oahu but now live on a neighbor island
Use HiSIS first because it is statewide. If the vaccine is missing, contact the original provider or pharmacy on Oahu. If you cannot reach the provider, ask your current neighbor island provider or local public health office what documentation they can accept and whether they can help update the record.
You moved to Hawaii from the mainland
HiSIS may not automatically contain vaccines from another state. Contact the immunization registry in the state where the vaccine was given. Common examples include California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Texas, and New York. CDC’s IIS directory is the safest starting point for state contacts.
You received vaccines in Guam, American Samoa, the Philippines, Japan, Korea, or another country
Bring the original written vaccine document to a Hawaii healthcare provider. Hawaii DOH’s HiSIS information for providers says healthcare providers can enter out-of-state immunizations as historical written documentation after validating proper dosage scheduling. Foreign vaccine documents may need translation, vaccine-name review, and dose-spacing review.
You need a same-day record for school, daycare, work, or travel
Open HiSIS first. If it fails, call the provider or pharmacy that administered the vaccines and explain the deadline. Ask whether they can provide a provider-signed immunization record or verify your HiSIS profile information. If a school deadline is involved, ask the school whether provisional entry or a scheduled appointment verification is allowed under current Hawaii rules.
Disaster or emergency situation
Hawaii DOH’s HiSIS page says HiSIS is available in an emergency or disaster to provide immunization information to healthcare workers as long as power and internet access are available. Save an offline PDF copy of your record when you can, especially if you live in an area affected by hurricanes, wildfires, flooding, power outages, or inter-island travel disruption.
Titer Tests as Proof When Hawaii Vaccine Records Are Missing
A titer test is a blood test that can show immunity to certain diseases. It is most commonly discussed for MMR, varicella, and hepatitis B. Titers can be useful when adult childhood records are lost, when a doctor retired, or when a healthcare program needs proof but the vaccine dates cannot be found.
| Situation | Titer may help for | Before you pay |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare job or clinical program | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B | Ask occupational health or the school if positive IgG titers are accepted. |
| College health clearance | MMR or varicella depending on the campus | Check the exact campus form; some campuses want vaccine dates. |
| Immigration medical exam | Civil surgeon-reviewed vaccine evidence | Ask the civil surgeon first because they decide what is acceptable for the medical exam. |
| K-12 or daycare | Limited cases only | Follow Hawaii school and DOH instructions first. |
Where Hawaii Immunization Records Are Commonly Needed
| Use case | What they usually need | Best first record |
|---|---|---|
| Daycare | Age-appropriate vaccines and health clearance. | HiSIS plus provider/school form if requested. |
| K-12 school | Hawaii school-required vaccine proof. | HiSIS record and Student’s Health Record process. |
| Seventh grade | Additional grade-specific immunization evidence. | HiSIS plus current Hawaii DOH requirement chart. |
| College | Campus-specific health clearance and immunization proof. | HiSIS, provider portal, or college health form. |
| Healthcare job | Vaccine dates or titers for required vaccines. | HiSIS, employer form, and lab results if needed. |
| Travel | Routine and travel vaccine history. | HiSIS plus travel clinic documentation. |
| Immigration | Civil surgeon-reviewed vaccine proof. | HiSIS, foreign records, and any titer reports. |
| Military family | Military treatment facility and civilian records. | Military health record plus HiSIS if civilian doses were given in Hawaii. |
| Employer verification | Flu, COVID-19, hepatitis B, MMR, varicella, or Tdap proof depending on job. | HiSIS, pharmacy record, or occupational health form. |
| Personal archive | A complete readable copy. | HiSIS PDF saved with provider and pharmacy backups. |

Hawaii Immunization Records FAQs
Use the official HiSIS Immunization Record Request public portal at hisis.hawaii.gov. Choose whether the request is for you or a legal dependent, enter the required personal information, verify your identity with a code, and view the immunization record if the information matches the HiSIS profile.
HiSIS is the Hawaii State Immunization System. It is Hawaii’s immunization information system used for provider-submitted immunization records and public record requests through the Hawaii DOH Immunization Branch.
Yes. Hawaii DOH says the HiSIS public portal offers a free way to access, print, or download official immunization records when the request information matches the patient’s profile.
Yes. The HiSIS portal allows requests for yourself or for a legal dependent. Use the dependent option only if you are the parent or legal guardian.
The most common reason is a profile mismatch. Hawaii DOH says the email address or phone number entered must match what is listed on the patient’s HiSIS profile. Other causes include name changes, out-of-state vaccines, pharmacy records, military records, or old vaccines not reported to HiSIS.
Contact the healthcare provider that gave the vaccine and ask them to review and verify your information in HiSIS. Try the phone number or email that may have been used at the time of vaccination if you still have access to it.
Hawaii DOH describes HiSIS as storing immunization records for children and adults. However, older adult records may be incomplete if a provider never reported the dose or if the dose was given outside Hawaii.
Pharmacy vaccines may appear if they were reported correctly, but you should also check the pharmacy account or request a pharmacy vaccine record directly. This is especially useful for COVID-19, flu, RSV, shingles, and travel vaccines.
A HiSIS record can help document vaccine history, but you should follow the school’s current instructions. Hawaii DOE says children attending school must have a signed and completed Student’s Health Record documenting required health items, including immunizations.
Requirements depend on age and grade. Hawaii DOH lists requirements for childcare, preschool, kindergarten through grade 12, seventh grade, and post-secondary students. Check the current Hawaii DOH school health requirements before submitting records.
Hawaii DOE says children may be exempt from immunization requirements for medical or religious reasons if appropriate documentation is presented to the school, and no other exemptions are allowed by the state.
Sometimes. Titers may help for MMR, varicella, or hepatitis B in healthcare employment, college, or medical program settings, but the organization asking for proof decides whether it accepts titers. Always ask before paying for a lab test.
Contact the state, territory, country, provider, military clinic, or pharmacy where the vaccine was given. Hawaii providers may be able to enter historical written documentation into HiSIS after validating it, but you need a proper written record.
CDC’s IIS directory lists Hawaii immunization registry contact options as 800-933-4832, fax 808-586-8347, and immunization@doh.hawaii.gov. Hawaii DOH also lists HiSIS and Immunization Branch resources on its official website.
No. ImmunizationRecord.org is an independent informational guide. Always use Hawaii DOH, HiSIS, Hawaii DOE, CDC, your provider, school, employer, or civil surgeon as the final authority for official immunization record requirements.
