Find, Request or Fix Your Michigan Vaccine Record
Michigan’s statewide immunization registry is the Michigan Care Improvement Registry, commonly called MCIR. The public-access process changed in August 2026, so older instructions telling adults to simply use the MiImms portal can now send users to an unsupported route.
Use this guide to request your own or a child’s record, prepare the required ID, correct a wrong name or duplicate record, recover old or pharmacy vaccines, and obtain documentation for school, childcare, college or employment.

Which Michigan immunization record route should you use?
Ask the healthcare provider for a complete immunization history first. An authorized Michigan provider may be able to review MCIR in addition to its own medical record.
This can be faster than waiting for a formal state request when a school, employer or program deadline is close.
MCIR directs parents and guardians to the child’s pediatrician or county local health department. A formal State of Michigan request is also available when necessary.
Complete the Request for Official State of Michigan Immunization Record, include the required current picture ID and submit it through the current MCIR Public Forms route.
MCIR currently says to allow up to 14 business days for processing.
Use the Request to Change Information process for legal-name changes, duplicate records, address changes, incorrect date of birth, sex or spelling.
A record-copy request alone does not fix the underlying MCIR demographic problem.
What is MCIR and what does the record contain?
MCIR stands for Michigan Care Improvement Registry. It is Michigan’s immunization information system and can combine reported vaccination information from participating healthcare and public-health sources.
CDC describes MCIR as Michigan’s IIS for vaccine recipients of all ages.
An MCIR record is focused on immunization history. Hospital notes, diagnoses, imaging and most other medical information remain with the healthcare provider.
Older doses, vaccines administered in another jurisdiction and adult vaccinations not reported into MCIR may require separate recovery.
Why adult records can be less complete
Michigan’s registry began in 1998 as a childhood immunization system and expanded to adults in 2006. CDC’s current Michigan IIS policy summary says Michigan’s provider reporting mandate applies to children under age 20 rather than every adult vaccination.

Record request, correction, MCIR opt-out and school waiver are not the same
| You need to… | Use… | Do not confuse it with… |
|---|---|---|
| Get a copy of an immunization record | Official record request, provider or local health department. | MCIR demographic correction form. |
| Fix name, DOB, address or duplicate profile | Request to Change Information. | School waiver. |
| Object to participation in MCIR reporting | MCIR opt-out process. | School immunization waiver. |
| Request a nonmedical school/childcare waiver | Local health department education and certification process. | MCIR opt-out. |
Will MCIR contain vaccinations from decades ago?
| Situation | What official guidance indicates | Best backup sources |
|---|---|---|
| Born before 1994 | MCIR says childhood vaccines are highly unlikely to be complete because only children born after December 31, 1993 were initially subject to required entry. | Old providers, family files, schools and colleges. |
| Childhood vaccines in the late 1990s or later | More likely to be represented as Michigan’s registry reporting developed. | Pediatrician, school and local health department. |
| Adult vaccines | MCIR became a lifespan registry in 2006, but not every adult dose is subject to the same reporting mandate as childhood vaccines. | Provider and pharmacy histories. |
| Vaccines outside Michigan | No national registry automatically guarantees transfer into MCIR. | Other state’s IIS, foreign provider or original healthcare source. |
Historical record recovery order
Michigan immunization records for school and childcare
Michigan school immunization documentation is particularly important for childcare, kindergarten, seventh grade and students newly enrolling in a school district.
| Situation | What the family may need | Best action |
|---|---|---|
| Licensed childcare or preschool | Current immunization documentation, dose-waiting documentation or applicable waiver. | Ask the pediatrician or local health department before enrollment. |
| Kindergarten | Documentation meeting Michigan school-entry rules. | Have the provider review the child’s current history before registration week. |
| Seventh grade | Updated record meeting applicable seventh-grade requirements. | Ask the provider for the current immunization record after review. |
| New school district | Michigan, out-of-state or foreign immunization documentation for review. | Bring every available record to the school/provider rather than sending only a partial screenshot. |
| Series started but not complete | Documentation showing the child has begun required immunizations and is waiting the appropriate interval when applicable. | Ask the school and healthcare provider exactly what date/document must be submitted next. |
Diseases covered on the current Michigan school-entry chart
Michigan nonmedical and medical exemption records
- Contact the county local health department.
- Complete the required immunization education process.
- Obtain the certified State of Michigan nonmedical waiver.
- Follow the school’s or childcare program’s submission instructions.
- Do not alter a certified paper waiver.
Michigan currently provides a 2026 Medical Exemption Form through its official school/childcare resources. Medical eligibility and clinical justification must be handled through the appropriate healthcare process rather than this informational guide.
Ask what proof the receiving organization accepts before ordering anything
Ask whether the institution accepts an MCIR/provider history or requires its own health form.
Occupational health may require a specific form or supporting documentation rather than a generic vaccine screenshot.
Ask for the exact vaccine, date and record format needed before requesting multiple unnecessary documents.
How to recover a Michigan pharmacy vaccination record
Pharmacy records can be especially useful for recent adult vaccinations and for locating a dose that does not appear in the available MCIR history.
Vaccines from another state usually need a separate record search
There is no single national registry that automatically guarantees every state’s vaccination records will appear in MCIR. Retrieve documentation from the state where the vaccination occurred and provide it to the appropriate Michigan healthcare or public-health source when needed.
Ohio uses ImpactSIIS-related public record request routes.
Illinois uses I-CARE and Vax Verify-related record routes.
Wisconsin uses the Wisconsin Immunization Registry, or WIR.
Minnesota uses MIIC and offers separate public record-access options.
