Need New Jersey immunization records for school, child care, camp, college, work, travel, a healthcare program, immigration paperwork, or your own family folder? Start with Docket or myHealthNJ for online access, then use NJIIS, your provider, school nurse, pharmacy, local health department, or the official IMM-46 form if the record is missing or incomplete.
The fastest way to get NJ immunization records online is usually Docket or myHealthNJ. These tools pull available records from the New Jersey Immunization Information System, called NJIIS. If a match appears, you can save or print the official PDF record. If the record does not appear, check your exact identity details, then contact the provider, pharmacy, school nurse, local health department, NJIIS support, or use the IMM-46 copy request form.
Official online access: NJDOH vaccines page and myHealthNJ / Docket accessDo not assume a missing Docket record means you were never vaccinated. The vaccine may have been given outside New Jersey, stored under a different name, reported without a matching phone or email, kept in an old paper chart, or waiting for a provider correction in NJIIS.

Docket App and myHealthNJ for New Jersey Vaccine Records
New Jersey residents can view available official immunization records online through the free Docket app or myHealthNJ.com. NJDOH explains that these records are pulled from New Jersey’s statewide immunization registry, so the online record depends on what has been entered into NJIIS.
Official access page: NJDOH — Access your vaccine records onlineDocket can generate an official New Jersey immunization record PDF when your record is available. In the app, the PDF button appears next to your name on the Immunization Records screen. Save the PDF privately, review it for accuracy, then send it only through the method accepted by your school, employer, college, travel clinic, or healthcare program.

Download IMM-46How to Request and Download NJ Immunization Records Online
Use this order when you need to view, print, download, or share New Jersey immunization records safely. It starts with the fastest online option and then moves to official backup routes.
- Open Docket or myHealthNJ. Start with the official digital record tools. Do not enter your child’s name, birth date, vaccine details, or ID documents into random “instant vaccine record” websites.
- Enter identity details exactly. Use the legal first name, legal last name, date of birth, legal sex, and phone or email that may be stored in NJIIS. If your name has a hyphen or apostrophe, try the combinations suggested by the New Jersey Docket FAQ.
- Review the record before sending it. Check name, date of birth, vaccine names, dose dates, family member details, and whether the needed dose is actually listed.
- Download or print the PDF if available. In Docket, use the PDF button on the Immunization Records screen. Keep one secure digital copy and one printed copy if you need school, camp, work, or college paperwork.
- If the record is wrong or incomplete, contact the provider. Docket depends on provider-reported data in NJIIS. The provider, clinic, pharmacy, or local health department that gave the vaccine may need to enter or correct the dose.
- If online access fails, use NJIIS support or IMM-46. Contact NJIIS support for matching issues, duplicate records, or correction questions. Use IMM-46 when a formal copy request is needed.
What Is NJIIS?
NJIIS means New Jersey Immunization Information System. It is New Jersey’s statewide immunization registry. CDC identifies New Jersey’s IIS as NJIIS and says it includes immunization records for vaccine recipients of all ages when records are available.
Official registry pages: NJIIS and CDC IIS Policies: New JerseyNJIIS is not a public “search anyone by name” lookup site. Regular residents usually use Docket, myHealthNJ, their provider, their school, their local health department, or the IMM-46 form route. Providers, schools, and health departments may have different registry access depending on their role.
| Tool or office | Best use | Important limit |
|---|---|---|
| Docket / myHealthNJ | Viewing, downloading, printing, and sharing available NJ immunization records. | Must match NJIIS identity details and show only data available in NJIIS. |
| NJIIS | State registry source used by providers, schools, health departments, and Docket. | General public access usually happens through Docket, myHealthNJ, or request routes. |
| Provider or pharmacy | Correcting or entering missing vaccine doses. | They may need proof or internal review before updating records. |
| School nurse | Student records, A-45 summary records, and school compliance questions. | School acceptance rules are different from general personal record access. |
| IMM-46 | Formal copy of an NJIIS immunization record. | Requires identification documents and mailing to the address on the current form. |
IMM-46 Request for Copy of NJIIS Immunization Record
If Docket or myHealthNJ does not work, or you need a formal copy request, use the official New Jersey Department of Health IMM-46 form. The form is titled “Request for Copy of NJIIS Immunization Record.”
Official form: Download IMM-46 from NJDOHIMM-46 asks for the person’s record details, requester details, recipient information, authorization, and supporting identification. The form lists examples of acceptable ID such as a state-issued photo driver license with address, state-issued non-driver ID with address, similar government identification, or a photo identification card issued by a New Jersey County Clerk.
Registry start page: NJIIS official website| IMM-46 item | What it asks for | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Registrant information | Name as it appears in NJIIS, date of birth, address, daytime phone, NJIIS ID if known. | This helps NJDOH search the correct record. |
| Parent or guardian details | Parent/guardian name and relationship where relevant. | Child records require proper authority to request. |
| Current provider | Primary healthcare provider name and phone number. | Provider information may help verify or correct records. |
| Recipient | The person or entity that should receive the copy. | The release must clearly state where the record should go. |
| Supporting ID | Official identification documents. | Private health records should not be released without identity verification. |
NJ School Immunization Records, Child Care, Preschool and K-12 Proof
New Jersey immunization record searches often come from parents trying to enroll a child in school, child care, preschool, camp, sports, or transfer registration. NJDOH establishes minimum vaccine requirements for child care centers, preschool, and school entry and attendance. Schools are required to enforce requirements, maintain immunization records, and submit annual reports.
Official school requirements: NJDOH New Jersey immunization requirementsFor K-12 school records, ask the school nurse what format the school accepts before uploading anything. Some schools may accept a Docket PDF or provider printout; others may need review by the nurse, provider documentation, translated foreign records, or additional proof for missing dates.
School health reference: NJDOE communicable disease prevention and reporting| School situation | Likely record needed | Best action |
|---|---|---|
| Child care or preschool | Age-appropriate immunization proof, including annual flu requirement when applicable. | Use Docket/myHealthNJ, pediatrician, local health department, or school/center instructions. |
| Kindergarten or grade 1 | Proof of required childhood vaccine series and dose timing. | Ask the pediatrician and school nurse to review the current NJDOH requirements. |
| Grades 2–6 | Primary series documentation and any catch-up proof. | Check Docket and provider records early, especially after moving from another state. |
| Grades 7–12 | Tdap and MenACWY proof in addition to other required documentation. | Confirm exact grade and age rules with the school nurse and NJDOH chart. |
| Foreign or translated records | English translation sufficient to determine compliance. | Follow NJDOE guidance for translated immunization records. |
Adult NJ Immunization Records and Older Vaccine History
Adult vaccine records can be incomplete because older shots may exist only in paper charts, pharmacy accounts, employer files, school records, military systems, travel clinic files, or another state’s registry. Start with Docket or myHealthNJ, then search the backup source most likely to hold the dose.
Federal registry contact help: CDC — locate immunization records by state| Adult need | Where to look first | What to ask for |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare job | Docket, provider, pharmacy, employee health office. | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, Tdap, flu, COVID-19, TB-related paperwork, or titers if accepted. |
| College or nursing program | College health portal, Docket, provider, old school records. | Program vaccine form, exact dose dates, lab titers, and deadline instructions. |
| Travel or immigration | Travel clinic, civil surgeon instructions, provider, pharmacy, Docket. | Official vaccine history and accepted lab proof before repeating vaccines. |
| Lost childhood records | Parents, old pediatrician, school district, college files, previous state registry. | Old immunization card, school health record, or provider printout. |
| Personal archive | Docket, myHealthNJ, provider portal, pharmacy app. | Full immunization history PDF and printed backup copy. |
What to Do If NJ Immunization Records Are Missing or Incomplete
A missing record in Docket or myHealthNJ does not automatically mean the vaccine was never given. It usually means the digital tool cannot match the record, the dose was not entered into NJIIS, the dose was entered under different information, or the vaccine was given outside New Jersey.
Troubleshooting source: New Jersey Docket FAQ| Problem | Why it happens | What to try next |
|---|---|---|
| No record match | Name, date of birth, legal sex, phone, or email does not match NJIIS. | Try exact legal details and punctuation variations, then contact NJIIS support. |
| Child appears but a dose is missing | Provider may not have reported the vaccine or entered it correctly. | Ask the provider or pharmacy that gave the dose to review and update NJIIS. |
| Duplicate record | The same person may have two NJIIS profiles. | Ask NJIIS support or the provider about duplicate record review. |
| Out-of-state vaccine | State immunization systems are separate. | Contact the other state registry or the provider that gave the vaccine. |
| Old adult record missing | Older records may never have been entered into NJIIS. | Search doctor, school, college, employer, pharmacy, military, and family files. |
| Wrong record details | Data entry or matching issue. | Contact the provider, pharmacy, or NJIIS support before sharing the PDF. |
- Check identity details first. Try full legal name, prior last name, hyphenated name, apostrophe/no-apostrophe version, date of birth, legal sex, and old phone or email.
- Contact the provider that gave the vaccine. Ask whether the dose was reported to NJIIS and whether it can be corrected or added.
- Check pharmacy accounts. CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Costco, Rite Aid, ShopRite, hospital clinics, and travel clinics may have their own records.
- Use NJIIS support for matching or duplicate problems. The New Jersey Docket FAQ lists 855-568-0545 for NJIIS support.
- Use IMM-46 for a formal copy. Attach the required ID and mail the completed form to the address shown on the current official form.
Pharmacy, COVID Vaccine Records and SMART Health Card Questions in New Jersey
Many New Jersey adults received COVID-19, flu, RSV, shingles, pneumonia, Tdap, hepatitis, or travel vaccines at a pharmacy. These records may appear in Docket if they were reported and matched in NJIIS, but the pharmacy account is often the fastest backup place to check.
COVID-specific help: COVID vaccine record guideCheck the same CVS account, phone number, and email used when the vaccine was given.
Review the Walgreens pharmacy record or ask the store pharmacy for a vaccine history.
Ask the pharmacy location where the vaccine was administered for a printout or portal record.
Look in MyChart or the hospital patient portal, then call medical records if needed.
Ask for vaccine names, exact dates, provider documentation, and lot numbers if available.
Docket FAQ says SMART Health Card QR codes are supported for people with at least one COVID-19 dose on file with NJIIS.
NJ Immunization Records Near Me: Local Health Department, School Nurse and County Help
When people search “NJ immunization records near me,” they usually need a local person to help with a missing child record, school deadline, provider closure, or record correction. Start online, but use your provider, school nurse, local health department, or NJIIS support when Docket cannot solve the problem.
State public health program: NJDOH Vaccine Preventable Disease Program| Local need | Who to contact | Ask this exact question |
|---|---|---|
| School enrollment deadline | School nurse and pediatrician. | “Will you accept a Docket PDF, or do you need provider documentation?” |
| Provider closed | Current provider, local health department, or health system records office. | “Can you check NJIIS and tell me if the vaccine record is available?” |
| Child record incomplete | Provider or pharmacy that gave the vaccine. | “Can you review whether this dose was reported correctly to NJIIS?” |
| No Docket match | NJIIS support. | “Could this be a matching issue, duplicate record, old phone, or old email?” |
| Formal mailed copy | NJDOH IMM-46 route. | “Which ID documents should I attach to the current IMM-46 form?” |
Out-of-State, Foreign, Military and Translated Immunization Records
New Jersey’s registry may not show every vaccine given in New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Florida, military care, a college clinic, another country, or a travel clinic. If you received vaccines outside New Jersey, contact the place where the dose was given and the registry for that state when available.
Other state help: CDC IIS contact directoryNJDOE explains that immunization records submitted in a language other than English must include a translation sufficient to determine compliance with immunization requirements. If your child has foreign vaccine records, bring the original and translation to the school nurse or healthcare provider for review.

Delaware guideTiter Tests When NJ Vaccine Records Are Lost
A titer is a blood test that may show immunity to certain diseases. It can help when adult childhood records are lost, especially for healthcare jobs, nursing school, medical school, college programs, or some immigration-related reviews. 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 exactly which lab result format is accepted. |
| 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 or repeating vaccines. |
| K-12 school | Limited cases only. | Ask the school nurse and healthcare provider how NJ requirements are reviewed. |
