What Maryland Immunization Records Mean
Maryland immunization records are vaccine history documents that may be stored in ImmuNet, MyIR Mobile, a healthcare provider system, pharmacy account, school file, daycare office, camp office, college health portal, employer file, local health department record, or an older paper record. The record may show vaccine names, dose dates, and official documents needed for school, child care, employment, travel, or personal medical history.
Official record access page: Maryland ImmuNet formsThe correct document depends on who is asking. A Maryland school may need the Maryland Certificate of Immunization, also called MDH Form 896. A healthcare employer may need vaccine dates or titers. A travel clinic may ask for specific vaccine proof. A parent may simply need a printable record before daycare, camp, or sports registration.

Open MyIR guideWhat Is ImmuNet?
ImmuNet is Maryland’s Immunization Information System. Maryland Department of Health describes ImmuNet as a secure, web-based registry managed by the Center for Immunization. Access is restricted to authorized users, and the information is confidential.
Official ImmuNet source: Maryland DOH ImmuNet formsFor residents, MyIR Mobile is the public-facing route that can securely pull vaccination records from ImmuNet when the account details match. ImmuNet can be very helpful, but it may not contain every older, out-of-state, military, pharmacy-only, provider-only, or paper-only vaccine record.
Public access source: MyIR MobileHow To Get Maryland Immunization Records Online Step by Step
Use this order. It starts with the official public portal, then moves to practical backup routes if the record does not match.
- Open MyIR Mobile. Use the official MyIR Mobile site or Maryland DOH ImmuNet forms page before entering private information anywhere else.
- Create an account or sign in. MyIR registration asks for name, email, password, phone verification, and multi-factor authentication. Maryland’s guide says all users must be 18 years or older.
- Choose Maryland as the registry connection. In MyIR, select Maryland and use the record search option so the system can attempt to match your information with ImmuNet.
- Enter accurate demographic details. Date of birth, gender, phone number, and middle name can affect matching. A previous phone number may help if your vaccines were given years ago.
- Open the Documents section. If the record links successfully, check Documents for immunization history, Maryland Certificate of Immunization Form 896, or COVID-19 vaccination certification when available.
- Add children or dependents if needed. Maryland’s MyIR guide says adults can use the Add a Child option to request records for children under 18.
- Use help options if no match is found. Try another legitimate phone number, use MyIR match help, submit the Maryland records request option, or contact the provider, pharmacy, school, or local health department.
- Save and print the record. MyIR documents may be available as PDFs. Save one PDF and print one copy for school, daycare, camp, work, travel, or personal files.
MyIR Mobile Login and Maryland Record Matching
MyIR Mobile is Maryland’s main public record portal for online access.

Maryland Form 896, School, Daycare and Camp Immunization Records
Maryland families often need immunization records for daycare, school, camps, sports, and transfer paperwork. The Maryland Certificate of Immunization is MDH Form 896. Maryland’s back-to-school page links current school requirements, child care requirements, COMAR rules, allowable exemptions, and the MDH-896 form.
Official school page: Back-to-School Immunization RequirementsIf MyIR does not show Form 896 or the school says the record is incomplete, ask the child’s doctor, clinic, school nurse, daycare office, local health department, or previous provider. The receiving office controls what it accepts, so ask before submitting the wrong document.
Official form: Maryland Immunization Certificate MDH Form 896 PDF| Student situation | Likely record needed | Best action |
|---|---|---|
| Licensed child care | Age-appropriate immunization proof or valid exemption. | Ask the child care office what record format it accepts. |
| Preschool or K-12 school | MDH Form 896 or school-accepted immunization record. | Check MyIR Documents, provider records, or school health office instructions. |
| Summer camp or sports | Recent immunization record or camp-specific form. | Ask the camp what vaccine proof and dates are required. |
| New Maryland transfer | Previous state vaccine history reviewed for Maryland requirements. | Bring old records to a Maryland provider, school, or local health department. |
| College or healthcare training | Campus vaccine upload, dates, titers, or provider-signed form. | Check the college health portal before ordering labs. |
Adult Maryland Immunization Records
Adults usually need Maryland immunization records for college, nursing school, healthcare employment, military paperwork, immigration medical exams, travel, caregiver jobs, occupational health, or personal medical history. MyIR Mobile is the best first online route if the vaccines were administered in Maryland and reported to ImmuNet.
Start online: MyIR MobileIf an adult record is incomplete, use the office that gave the vaccine. Adult vaccines are often held by pharmacies, employer clinics, hospital portals, college health centers, urgent care clinics, travel clinics, military systems, or previous state registries.
| Adult need | Best first step | What to ask for |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare job | MyIR, provider, pharmacy, occupational health. | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, Tdap, flu, COVID-19, TB, or titers if required. |
| College or nursing school | Student health portal plus MyIR. | Campus-specific vaccine form, vaccine dates, or accepted titer labs. |
| Travel | Travel clinic, provider, pharmacy, MyIR. | Routine vaccines, travel vaccines, and exact dates. |
| Immigration medical exam | Civil surgeon instructions plus MyIR/provider records. | Official vaccine history and any accepted lab proof. |
| Personal copy | MyIR, provider portal, pharmacy account. | Complete immunization history and PDF copy. |
What If Your Maryland Immunization Record Is Missing?
A missing Maryland immunization record is common. It can happen because the name or phone number does not match, the dose was not reported to ImmuNet, the vaccine was given outside Maryland, the provider has old paper records, the pharmacy account uses an old email, or the record is split across systems.
MyIR matching help: Maryland MyIR guide| Problem | What it means | What to try next |
|---|---|---|
| Phone mismatch | MyIR matching may fail if the phone number does not match the record. | Try legitimate old phone numbers or use MyIR match help. |
| Name mismatch | Record may be under maiden name, old name, hyphenated name, or provider spelling. | Try the name used when vaccines were given. |
| Out-of-state vaccines | Maryland ImmuNet may not have vaccines given elsewhere. | Contact the state or territory where the shot was administered. |
| Pharmacy doses | Adult vaccines may be in CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Rite Aid, Giant, Safeway, or another pharmacy profile. | Call the exact pharmacy location and ask for vaccine history. |
| Old paper record | Older childhood records may never have been fully entered in ImmuNet. | Check old schools, pediatrician archives, family folders, and local health department records. |
| Military or federal record | VA, TRICARE, base clinic, or federal health records may be separate. | Check military, VA, TRICARE, or service medical records. |
- Try MyIR matching help. If no match appears after legitimate attempts, use MyIR’s help or Maryland records request route.
- Call the provider or pharmacy. Ask the office that gave the shot for vaccine administration history.
- Check school and college records. A previous school may still have a submitted immunization certificate.
- Check previous state registries. Use the state where the vaccine was actually given.
- Ask a clinician before repeating shots or ordering titers. A provider can help decide whether titers or catch-up vaccination make sense.
Maryland Pharmacy Immunization Records: CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Rite Aid, Giant and Safeway
Many Maryland adults received COVID-19, flu, RSV, shingles, pneumonia, hepatitis, Tdap, or travel vaccines at a pharmacy. Those doses may appear in MyIR when reported and matched, but the pharmacy account is often the fastest place to check first.
Old-record help: Tips for locating old immunization recordsCheck the same CVS account, phone number, or email used for the appointment.
Use the Walgreens pharmacy account or call the store where the vaccine was administered.
Ask the exact Walmart pharmacy location for a vaccine administration record.
Check the pharmacy profile or ask the local Rite Aid pharmacy for vaccine dates.
Call the pharmacy if adult vaccines do not show in your online profile.
Ask for vaccine names, dates, and official documentation before a travel deadline.
Maryland COVID-19 Vaccination Records and QR Codes
Maryland’s MyIR guide says MyIR Mobile can provide COVID-19 vaccination certification and COVID-19 proof with a SMART Health Card QR code when available. If you recently received a COVID booster or another dose, use the update/check option in MyIR before relying on an older copy.
COVID record guide: Maryland MyIR Mobile guide| Record route | Best for | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| MyIR Documents | COVID-19 vaccination certification PDF. | Only appears when records are linked and available. |
| SMART Health Card QR Code | Digital COVID proof where QR verification is accepted. | Not every school, employer, or travel setting accepts the same format. |
| Pharmacy record | COVID vaccines given at CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Rite Aid, Giant, Safeway, or another pharmacy. | May show only that pharmacy’s record. |
| Provider portal | Hospital, clinic, urgent care, or primary care vaccines. | May not include pharmacy or out-of-state doses. |
Maryland School Immunization Exemptions
Maryland’s back-to-school immunization page links allowable exemptions, including medical contraindications and religious exemptions under COMAR. Families should use current Maryland Department of Health and school instructions, not random third-party exemption templates.
Official school and exemption references: Maryland back-to-school immunization requirements| Exemption item | What it means | Where to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Medical contraindication | Used when a medical reason affects vaccination. | Healthcare provider, school, and Maryland DOH instructions. |
| Religious exemption | Maryland has a school-related religious exemption route under official rules. | School office and Maryland DOH/COMAR references. |
| College or employer policy | Rules can differ from K-12 school rules. | College health office or occupational health office. |
Maryland Local Health Department Help: Baltimore, Montgomery, Prince George’s, Anne Arundel and More
If MyIR cannot match your record, a provider closed, a child needs school paperwork, or a vaccine is missing, a Maryland local health department can be a practical next step. Call before visiting because ID, appointment rules, school paperwork, and clinic availability can vary.
Maryland public clinic hub: MarylandVax.org| If you live near | Common need | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| Baltimore City or Baltimore County | School records, adult vaccine proof, provider record gaps. | Try MyIR, provider, pharmacy, then local health department help. |
| Montgomery County | School enrollment, Form 896, college records. | Check MyIR Documents and school instructions before visiting an office. |
| Prince George’s County | Child records, back-to-school shots, adult vaccine history. | Ask the provider or local health department what record format is accepted. |
| Anne Arundel or Howard County | School, camp, sports, daycare, and healthcare job records. | Use MyIR first, then provider or local health department support. |
| Frederick, Carroll, Harford or Cecil County | Old provider records or transfer records. | Gather old provider, pharmacy, and school names before calling. |
| Eastern Shore or Western Maryland | Local clinic records, pharmacy vaccines, rural provider history. | Call first to ask about ID, appointments, and record request process. |
Out-of-State and Multi-State Immunization Records
If vaccines were given outside Maryland, MyIR and ImmuNet may not have the complete history. Use the state or territory where the vaccine was administered. Maryland’s MyIR guide also describes multi-state functionality for certain MyIR-connected states, but if no match appears, use the other state’s official immunization registry.
Find another state registry: CDC IIS immunization record contactsIf records came from another country, bring the original record, translation if needed, and any clinic paperwork to the school, employer, civil surgeon, provider, or local health department. They may need vaccine names, exact dates, and spacing review.
Titer Tests When Maryland Immunization Records Are Lost
A titer is a blood test that may show immunity to certain diseases. It can help when childhood records are truly lost, especially for healthcare jobs, college clinical programs, nursing school, military paperwork, or immigration medical exams. But the organization asking for proof decides whether titers are accepted.
| Situation | Titers may help with | Ask first |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare job | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B. | Ask occupational health what lab 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 paying for labs. |
| K-12 school or daycare | Limited cases only. | Follow school, provider, and Maryland DOH instructions before ordering tests. |
