Need vaccine records Virginia for school, child care, college, healthcare work, travel, immigration paperwork, a lost COVID card, MMR proof, or your own family file? Virginia residents can use VDH-managed electronic portals, MyIR Mobile, the COVID/MMR search portal, providers, pharmacies, schools, and local health departments depending on the record type.
To get Virginia vaccine records, start with the official VDH Request Immunization Record page. Use MyIR Mobile for broader official immunization record access. Use the VDH COVID and MMR portal only when you specifically need COVID-19 or Measles, Mumps and Rubella records from VIIS.

VIIS, MyIR Mobile and the Virginia Record Portals Explained
VIIS means Virginia Immunization Information System. VDH describes VIIS as a free statewide registry that combines immunization histories for people of all ages from public and private sources. CDC also identifies Virginia’s IIS as VIIS and says it includes records for vaccine recipients of all ages.
Official references: VDH VIIS page and CDC Virginia IIS pageVDH’s record request page lists MyIR Mobile as the route to register and access an official immunization record. The same page also lists a newer COVID and MMR Immunization Portal for specific official COVID-19 and MMR records. VDH says the previously available Legacy Portal is retired and points residents to MyIR Mobile instead.

Open VIIS help pageHow to Get Virginia Vaccine Records Step by Step
Use this order when you need Virginia vaccine records for school, day care, college, employment, healthcare training, travel, immigration paperwork, military records, or personal files.
- Open the official VDH record request page first. Start from VDH before entering private health details. This helps you avoid unofficial record-lookup websites and old portal links.
- Use MyIR Mobile for broad official immunization history. Register or sign in, enter your information, complete verification, and check whether MyIR can match your Virginia record.
- Use the VDH COVID/MMR portal only for those vaccines. If you specifically need COVID-19 or MMR proof, the VASE portal can search VIIS for those two vaccine types.
- Enter details that match the original vaccine record. Try the legal name, previous name, date of birth, ZIP code, old phone number, old email, pharmacy profile, or provider details used when the shot was given.
- Download, print, or save a clean copy. If a record appears, save a PDF and print a readable copy before uploading it to a school, employer, college, travel office, or immigration medical file.
- If no match appears, call the original source. Contact the doctor, clinic, pharmacy, health department, school nurse, college health office, employer clinic, military clinic, or provider portal most likely to hold the record.
- Check another state if the vaccine was not given in Virginia. Vaccines from Maryland, DC, North Carolina, West Virginia, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, another state, military care, or another country may not appear in VIIS.
MyIR Mobile Virginia: Registration, Verification and No-Match Fixes
MyIR Mobile says it works with partner state health departments, including Virginia, to let users review immunization history and print official records when an exact registry match is found. MyIR also explains that a verification code is sent to the matching phone number when a record is found.
Official route: MyIR Mobile| MyIR issue | What it usually means | Practical Virginia fix |
|---|---|---|
| No match found | Your name, birth date, phone, email, or ZIP may not match VIIS. | Try details used by the vaccine provider, pharmacy, clinic, or school file. |
| Verification code does not arrive | The matching phone number may be old or missing. | Check old numbers and then use provider, pharmacy, or VIIS Help Desk support. |
| Child record missing | Family matching, guardian details, or dependent record data may not line up. | Ask the pediatrician, school nurse, or local health department to help verify the record. |
| Old adult record incomplete | Older vaccines may have been paper-only or not reported to VIIS. | Check old providers, schools, colleges, military records, employers, or titers if accepted. |
| Pharmacy dose missing | COVID, flu, RSV, shingles, or travel vaccine may be stored in pharmacy systems first. | Check CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Costco, Rite Aid, Kroger, or the exact pharmacy location. |
Virginia COVID and MMR Immunization Portal: What It Can and Cannot Show
The VDH COVID and MMR portal is helpful, but it is limited. The portal says it can search VIIS for COVID-19 and Measles, Mumps and Rubella records. It also says records for other vaccines are not yet available through that portal.
Official portal: Search for your Virginia COVID or MMR recordThe portal also warns that vaccines administered outside Virginia are unlikely to be in VIIS, vaccines administered before 2017 are less likely to be in VIIS, and a phone number associated with the vaccine record needs to be in VIIS to pull down the record.
| Portal detail | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| COVID-19 option | Useful for lost COVID card, booster dates, or COVID proof. | Try the VDH portal, MyIR, pharmacy app, provider portal, and vaccine site. |
| MMR option | Useful for school, college, healthcare work, or immigration proof. | Try VDH portal, MyIR, provider records, school files, or titer if accepted. |
| Other vaccines not shown | The COVID/MMR portal is not a full vaccine-history portal. | Use MyIR Mobile or provider/pharmacy records for full immunization history. |
| Before 2017 less likely | Older records may be incomplete online. | Check paper records, schools, old providers, military files, or titers if accepted. |
| Phone number needed | A missing or old phone number can block retrieval. | Try old numbers and contact the provider or VIIS Help Desk if needed. |
Child, Family and Dependent Vaccine Records in Virginia
Parents often need Virginia vaccine records for child care, school registration, kindergarten, 7th grade, 12th grade, camp, sports, foster care, military family moves, or out-of-state transfers. VDH’s record request page says residents can access records for themselves or their family through VDH-managed portals.
| Family situation | Best route | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Child school record | MyIR, pediatrician, school nurse, or local health department. | Ask the school whether it accepts MyIR printout or needs a specific school health form. |
| MMR proof | VDH COVID/MMR portal, MyIR, provider record, or school file. | Use MMR portal only for MMR, not all vaccines. |
| Moved to Virginia | Previous state registry plus Virginia provider or school review. | Out-of-state vaccines may not appear automatically in VIIS. |
| Military family | Military health record, TRICARE, base clinic, provider, and school nurse. | Federal records may be separate from VIIS. |
Virginia School, Child Care and College Vaccine Proof
VDH’s School Requirements page says documentary proof must be provided for adequate age-appropriate immunization for attendance at public or private elementary, middle, or secondary school, child care center, nursery school, family day care home, or developmental center. For schools, a full record may matter more than a partial COVID or MMR portal result.
Official requirements: VDH School RequirementsVirginia’s school page also lists 2026-2027 letters for rising kindergarteners, 7th graders, and 12th graders, and it links school health forms and religious exemption materials. For college students, Virginia Code § 23.1-800 covers immunization requirements for first-time enrollment at public baccalaureate institutions.
College law reference: Virginia Code § 23.1-800| Who is asking? | Likely proof needed | Best action |
|---|---|---|
| Virginia child care | Age-appropriate immunization documentation or valid exemption. | Ask child care office what form or printout is accepted. |
| K-12 school | Documentary proof of required immunizations. | Use MyIR plus pediatrician, local health department, or school nurse backup. |
| 7th grade | Tdap, MenACWY, HPV information/requirement pathway. | Check VDH school requirements and school nurse instructions. |
| 12th grade | MenACWY final dose timing and related school guidance. | Ask school nurse before the deadline, especially if records are split. |
| College | College-specific form, vaccine dates, waivers, or portal upload. | Ask student health whether MyIR, provider signature, or titer is accepted. |
| Healthcare employer | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, Tdap, flu, COVID, TB screening, or titers. | Ask occupational health for exact proof before paying for labs. |
Virginia Vaccine Records Near Me: Northern Virginia, Richmond, Hampton Roads and Local Help

CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Rite Aid, Costco and Pharmacy Vaccine Records in Virginia
Many Virginia adults received COVID-19, flu, RSV, shingles, pneumonia, Tdap, hepatitis, or travel vaccines at a pharmacy. These doses may appear in VIIS if reported and matched, but the pharmacy profile is often the fastest backup source.
Check your CVS account or call the exact CVS location that administered the vaccine.
Use the same Walgreens phone, email, and profile that were used when the vaccine was given.
Ask the pharmacy for a vaccine administration record if online records are incomplete.
Call the pharmacy location directly, especially for COVID, flu, RSV, shingles, and travel vaccine proof.
Check MyChart, health-system apps, urgent care portals, employer clinic files, and travel clinic records.
Check TRICARE, VA, base clinic records, or military medical files if the vaccine was given through federal care.
Why Virginia Vaccine Records May Be Missing, Wrong or Incomplete
A missing Virginia vaccine record is common. The portal may not match the phone number. The vaccine may have been given before the data was consistently available. The dose may have happened outside Virginia. The provider may not have submitted it. Or the dose may be stored in a pharmacy, school, military, college, employer, or paper file.
| Problem | What it means | What to try next |
|---|---|---|
| Old phone number | The COVID/MMR portal says a phone number must be associated with the VIIS record. | Try the number used during the vaccine appointment and contact provider/pharmacy backup. |
| Name mismatch | Record may be under maiden name, old name, hyphenated name, nickname, or misspelling. | Ask provider or pharmacy to search previous legal names and exact birth date. |
| Vaccine before 2017 | The VDH COVID/MMR portal says records before 2017 are less likely to be in VIIS. | Check old providers, school files, college records, military records, or paper cards. |
| Out-of-state vaccine | Doses from Maryland, DC, North Carolina, West Virginia, Tennessee, or another state may be elsewhere. | Use the registry or provider in the state where the vaccine was given. |
| Pharmacy dose missing | COVID, flu, RSV, shingles, or travel vaccine may be in pharmacy records first. | Use the pharmacy app or call the exact location that gave the dose. |
| Military, VA or federal vaccine | Federal records may be separate from VIIS. | Check VA, TRICARE, base clinic, military medical file, or service records. |
What to do if a Virginia vaccine record is wrong
- Do not edit or recreate the record yourself. Use a provider, pharmacy, school, or official health record source.
- Collect proof of the correct dose. Look for pharmacy printouts, provider notes, old cards, school files, military records, or patient portal entries.
- Ask the original source to review reporting. The provider or pharmacy that gave the vaccine may be able to confirm whether it was reported correctly.
- Use VIIS Help Desk or local health department support if needed. Keep your request factual and avoid sending private information through unsafe channels.
- Ask the receiving office what proof is enough. A school, employer, college, or civil surgeon may accept a provider record, titer, repeated dose, or another official format.
Virginia Vaccine Records vs Full Medical Records
A vaccine record is a focused immunization history. It may show vaccine names, dose dates, and administration details. A full medical record may include doctor notes, diagnoses, labs, imaging, medications, hospital visits, and other treatment history. If you only need vaccine proof, start with VDH portals, MyIR, provider, pharmacy, school, or local health department. If you need the full chart, contact the provider’s medical records department.
| Need | Ask for | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| Personal vaccine history | Official immunization record or MyIR printout. | VDH record page and MyIR Mobile. |
| COVID or MMR proof | COVID-19 or MMR record from VIIS if available. | VDH COVID/MMR portal. |
| School or child care proof | School-accepted immunization documentation. | School nurse, pediatrician, MyIR, or local health department. |
| Full hospital chart | Complete medical record or visit records. | Hospital medical records or health information management office. |
Titer Tests When Virginia Vaccine Records Are Lost
A titer is a blood test that can show immunity to some diseases. Titers may help adults who lost childhood records, especially for healthcare jobs, nursing school, medical programs, college clinical placements, and immigration medical exams. But the organization requesting 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 format and result threshold it accepts. |
| Nursing, medical, dental or allied health school | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B. | Ask whether positive IgG titers replace vaccine dates. |
| Immigration exam | Civil surgeon-reviewed proof. | Ask the civil surgeon before ordering labs. |
| K-12 school or child care | Only in certain accepted situations. | Follow VDH, school, and provider instructions first. |
