How to Get Vaccine Records WA State Step by Step
Use this order because it starts with the fastest official online option and then moves to backup sources that often hold missing or older records.
- Start on the Washington DOH family immunization information page. This page explains MyIR Mobile, provider records, pharmacy records, school records, and the DOH release form route.
- Register or sign in to MyIR Mobile. Use the person’s legal name, date of birth, phone number, and other details likely connected to the vaccine record.
- Choose Washington and complete verification. MyIR may send a verification code to a phone number that matches the registry record. A phone mismatch can stop automatic access.
- View, print, or save the record if it appears. For school or child care, look for the Certificate of Immunization Status. For personal use, save a PDF and print one copy.
- Ask the provider, clinic, or pharmacy if MyIR does not match. The provider or pharmacy that gave the vaccine may have the record even when MyIR cannot connect to it.
- Ask your child’s school early if this is for a student. Washington DOH says public schools and some private schools have WAIIS access and may be able to print student records depending on staffing.
- Use the Washington DOH release form if needed. Fill out the Authorization to Release Immunization Records form and send it to WAIIS by the current official mail, fax, or email route.
- Check another state if the vaccine was not given in Washington. Use CDC’s IIS directory for Oregon, Idaho, California, Alaska, military, tribal, or other out-of-state records.
MyIR Mobile Login, Registration and Matching Tips
Most MyIR problems are matching problems. MyIR is trying to connect your account with an existing Washington registry record. If your name, birth date, phone, or other details do not match, you may not see a record even when the vaccine was actually given.
Official access: MyIR Mobile, register online, or sign in online| Matching issue | Why it happens | What to try |
|---|---|---|
| Phone number mismatch | MyIR may need a phone number connected with the registry record. | Try the number used at the provider, pharmacy, or school when the vaccine was given. |
| Name mismatch | Record may use maiden name, old last name, hyphenated name, or different spelling. | Use the name used at the time of vaccination and tell the provider about previous names. |
| Duplicate record | Vaccine history may be split across more than one registry profile. | Ask the provider, school, or DOH record office to check for duplicate profiles. |
| Out-of-state dose | Dose may be in Oregon, Idaho, California, another state, military, or tribal records. | Contact the place where the vaccine was actually given. |
| Old record | Older vaccines may be paper-only or held by a closed clinic. | Check schools, colleges, old providers, pharmacy accounts, employer files, and titer options. |
When to Use the Washington DOH Authorization to Release Immunization Records Form
Use the Washington DOH release form when MyIR does not work, when you do not want to sign up for MyIR, or when you need DOH to mail, fax, or securely email a record. The form asks for patient information, requester information, where the record should be sent, and a signature.
Official PDF: Authorization to Release Immunization Records| Form detail | What it means | Practical note |
|---|---|---|
| Patient or child information | Name, date of birth, previous names, and identifying details. | Use exact spelling and include previous names if records may be old. |
| Parent or guardian details | Needed when requesting a minor child’s record. | Have proof of authority ready if asked. |
| Delivery method | You can request email, fax, or mail delivery. | Email may not be encrypted once it leaves the IIS, so choose carefully. |
| Signature | The form requires a signed authorization. | Do not leave signature and date blank or processing may be delayed. |
| Processing time | The form states records are usually sent within 3–5 business days and no later than 15 business days after receipt. | Start earlier for school, job, travel, or program deadlines. |
Certificate of Immunization Status (CIS) for Washington School and Child Care
For school and child care, Washington families often need a Certificate of Immunization Status, called CIS. Washington DOH says a parent or guardian must provide proof of required immunizations or immunity using a department-approved CIS form before a child may attend school or child care.
School guidance: Washington DOH School and Child Care ImmunizationA CIS may be printed from the Washington IIS, printed from MyIR, or completed as a hardcopy from the DOH webpage. A CIS printed from WAIIS or MyIR is medically verified by the IIS and does not need an additional healthcare provider signature for the information printed from the IIS.
CIS details: Acceptable versions of a CIS PDF| CIS route | Best for | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| MyIR CIS | Parents who can access a child’s record online. | Ask the school or child care office what CIS format it accepts. |
| Validated CIS from WAIIS | Provider, school, or child care staff with IIS access. | This is medically verified by the IIS when printed from WAIIS. |
| Hardcopy CIS | Cases where records are not fully in IIS. | It must be completed and medically verified with allowed records/signature. |
| School printed record | Existing students or students with records in school systems. | Ask early because staffing and access vary. |
| Provider printed record | Students whose vaccine history is in a clinic or hospital chart. | Ask whether they can print a CIS or medically verified vaccine record. |

Adult Vaccine Records in Washington State
Adults often need Washington vaccine records for college, healthcare employment, nursing school, clinical rotations, caregiver jobs, travel, immigration medical exams, military files, foster or adoption paperwork, or personal health history. MyIR Mobile is still the best first online route, but adult records are often split across providers, pharmacies, previous employers, schools, and other states.
Adult record access route: Washington DOH family immunization information| 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 screening, or titers. |
| Nursing or medical school | School health portal plus MyIR and provider records. | Program-specific vaccine form, dates, lab titers, and provider signature if required. |
| Travel | Travel clinic, pharmacy, provider portal, MyIR. | Routine vaccines, travel vaccines, and exact dose dates. |
| Immigration exam | Civil surgeon instructions plus official records. | Civil-surgeon accepted vaccine proof and any allowed titers. |
| Personal archive | MyIR, DOH form, provider, pharmacy, previous states. | Complete immunization history and any missing-dose explanation. |
Washington COVID-19 Vaccine Record and WA Verify
For COVID-19 vaccination proof, Washington also provides WA Verify, a free tool for a digital COVID-19 verification record. WA Verify can provide a QR code and a digital copy of a COVID-19 vaccination record when the system finds a match.

Why Your Washington Vaccine Record May Be Missing
A missing Washington vaccine record usually has a practical cause: unmatched phone number, former name, old provider, duplicate registry profile, pharmacy account mismatch, out-of-state dose, delayed reporting, or a record that was never reported to WAIIS.
| Problem | What it means | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| MyIR no match | Account details do not match the WAIIS record. | Try legal/previous names and old phone numbers, then use official support. |
| Incomplete WAIIS record | Washington DOH may not have every lifetime vaccine for every person. | Check the provider, pharmacy, school, employer, or previous state. |
| Out-of-state vaccine | Dose may be in Oregon, Idaho, California, Alaska, or another IIS. | Use CDC’s IIS contact directory for the state where the vaccine was given. |
| Old clinic closed | Records may be with a successor clinic or medical records custodian. | Search the clinic name, hospital group, and provider portal history. |
| School has a copy | Student records may be in a school nurse or registrar file. | Ask the school office early; do not wait until the deadline. |
| Employer has a copy | Healthcare or childcare employers may have occupational health vaccine files. | Ask HR, occupational health, or employee health. |
Local Help by Area: Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Vancouver, Bellevue, Olympia and Yakima
Washington vaccine records are statewide, but the practical search often starts locally. The place that gave the vaccine is still one of the best sources, especially when MyIR does not match or the WAIIS record is incomplete.
Statewide record help: Washington DOH record options| If you live near | Likely local path | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Seattle / King County | Provider, pharmacy, school, employer, public health route. | Try MyIR, then check provider systems, pharmacy accounts, and school/employee files. |
| Tacoma / Pierce County | Clinic, pharmacy, military, school, or health system records. | Check pharmacy and military/federal routes if the vaccine was not from a private clinic. |
| Spokane | Hospital portal, clinic, pharmacy, school or college health office. | Ask the source that gave the vaccine and use DOH release form if MyIR fails. |
| Vancouver | Washington or Oregon provider/pharmacy records. | Check both Washington and Oregon sources if vaccines were received across the border. |
| Bellevue / Redmond / Everett | Provider portals, pharmacy chains, school files, employer records. | Use exact phone/email details tied to old appointments. |
| Olympia / Yakima / Tri-Cities | Local clinic, pharmacy, school, tribal health, or county health route. | Ask for a WAIIS search and keep old paper records as backup proof. |
Titer Tests When Washington Vaccine Records Are Lost
A titer is a blood test that can show immunity to certain diseases. Washington school guidance recognizes antibody titer documentation for some diseases, but not every vaccine has an acceptable titer and not every school, employer, college, or civil surgeon accepts titers the same way.
School requirement guidance: Washington school and child care immunization page| Situation | Titers may help with | Ask first |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare job | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, and certain program requirements. | Ask occupational health exactly which lab results they accept. |
| Nursing or medical school | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, and clinical placement proof. | Ask whether positive IgG titers replace vaccine dates. |
| School or child care | Some immunity documentation under Washington rules. | Use school, DOH, and provider instructions before paying for labs. |
| Immigration medical exam | Civil surgeon-reviewed vaccine proof. | Ask the civil surgeon before ordering labs. |
