Need WA immunization records for school, child care, college, a health care job, travel, immigration, military paperwork, or your family files? Washington State uses MyIR Mobile for public online access and the Washington State Immunization Information System, also called WA IIS or WAIIS, for official vaccine history. This guide explains how to print records, get a Certificate of Immunization Status, request records without MyIR, fix missing doses, and avoid unsafe third-party lookup sites.
To access WA immunization records, start with MyIR Mobile if you want online access. If MyIR cannot match your record, ask your health care provider, clinic, pharmacy, child’s school, or Washington Department of Health Office of Immunization. Washington DOH lists MyIR Mobile, providers/pharmacies, schools, and DOH as the main record access routes.
Official record page: Washington DOH — Access your family’s immunization informationFor school or child care, the key document is usually the Certificate of Immunization Status, called CIS. A CIS printed from WA IIS or MyIR is medically verified by the IIS, while a hand-completed CIS usually needs a provider signature or attached medical records verified by school or child care staff.

What Is the Washington State Immunization Information System?
The Washington State Immunization Information System is Washington’s statewide immunization registry. Washington DOH describes it as a lifetime registry that keeps immunization records for people of all ages and supports health care providers and schools. CDC also identifies Washington’s IIS as the Washington State Immunization Information System and says it includes vaccine records for recipients of all ages.
Official registry page: Washington State Immunization Information SystemWA IIS is not the same thing as a full medical chart. It mainly contains immunization data reported to the registry. A doctor, clinic, pharmacy, employer clinic, military clinic, school, child care program, previous state registry, or out-of-country provider may still hold records that do not appear in MyIR or WA IIS.

Open school guidanceWhat Is MyIR Mobile for WA Immunization Records?
MyIR Mobile is the main public portal Washington residents use to access immunization records online. Washington DOH says you can sign up for MyIR Mobile, follow registration steps, receive a phone verification code, and then view immunization records, Certificate of Immunization Status information, and COVID-19 vaccination certificate details when the record matches.
Official portal: MyIR Mobile| MyIR feature | What it helps with | Important note |
|---|---|---|
| View immunization history | Review reported vaccine names and dates. | Only records that can be matched in the registry will appear. |
| Print or save records | Create a copy for school, work, travel, or personal files. | Ask the receiving office what format it accepts. |
| Certificate of Immunization Status | Print a CIS for school or child care. | Washington DOH says a CIS printed from MyIR is medically verified by IIS. |
| COVID-19 certificate | Access COVID-19 vaccination documentation when available. | Check names and dates before using it for travel or employment. |
How to Get WA Immunization Records Step by Step
Use this order because it starts with the fastest online route, then moves to providers, schools, pharmacies, and Washington DOH when MyIR does not solve the problem.
- Start with MyIR Mobile. Create or sign in to a MyIR Mobile account, choose Washington if asked, complete phone verification, and check whether your vaccine history, CIS, or COVID-19 vaccination certificate appears.
- Ask the provider, clinic, or pharmacy that gave the vaccine. Washington DOH says most health care providers in Washington use the state Immunization Information System. Your provider may be able to print a record from IIS or from its own medical record system.
- Ask your child’s school if the record is for a student. Washington DOH says all public schools and some private schools have WA IIS access. Depending on staffing, the school may be able to print student records if you ask ahead.
- Use the Washington DOH release route if other options fail. Contact the Office of Immunization, complete the Authorization to Release Immunization Records form if needed, and submit it to WAIIS by the official mail, fax, or email route.
- Check other states if vaccines were not given in Washington. There is no single national vaccine record database. Use CDC’s IIS directory to contact Oregon, Idaho, California, Texas, Florida, Michigan, or another state where vaccines were administered.
- Save a clean copy. Keep one printed copy and one secure PDF copy. Use a clear file name such as “WA-Immunization-Records-2026.pdf.”
Washington DOH Release Form Route When MyIR Does Not Work
If you cannot get a complete record from MyIR, your provider, pharmacy, or school, Washington DOH says you can contact the Office of Immunization. DOH may tell you whether a record exists in the system, but it does not release detailed record information over the phone to protect privacy.
Official record access page: Washington DOH record request options| DOH item | Current public information | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Office of Immunization phone | 360-236-3595 or 1-866-397-0337. | Use for record request help, not for receiving detailed vaccine dates by phone. |
| Record request email | WAIISRecords@doh.wa.gov. | Use only with official instructions and signed release requirements. |
| Fax | 360-236-3590. | Verify the current form and fax route before sending private information. |
| Washington State Immunization Information System, PO Box 47843, Olympia, WA 98504-7843. | Mail signed forms only when the current DOH page says mail is accepted. | |
| Release form | Authorization to Release Immunization Records. | Use the official DOH form, not a copied PDF from an unknown site. |
Certificate of Immunization Status for Washington School and Child Care
The Certificate of Immunization Status, called CIS, is the key Washington school and child care document. Washington DOH says the CIS can be printed from the Washington Immunization Information System or completed as a hardcopy form. A CIS printed from IIS or MyIR is medically verified by the IIS and does not need an additional parent or health care provider verification signature.
Official school page: Washington school and child care immunization guidance| CIS type | How it works | Best action |
|---|---|---|
| CIS printed from WA IIS | Shows immunizations documented in the IIS and is medically verified by IIS. | Ask a provider, school, or child care staff with IIS access. |
| CIS printed from MyIR | Washington DOH says it is medically verified by the IIS. | Print from your MyIR account if the record matches. |
| Hardcopy CIS completed by hand | Needs provider signature or attached medical records verified by school/child care staff. | Do not submit a blank CIS with records simply stapled to it. |
| COMPLETE status | Child has the required immunizations for school or child care. | Keep a copy for future transfers or summer programs. |
| NOT COMPLETE or CONDITIONAL | Child may be missing required doses or still completing a vaccine series. | Call the provider or school nurse quickly to avoid attendance problems. |
Washington Certificate of Exemption: COE Rules
The Certificate of Exemption, called COE, is used when a parent or guardian wants to exempt a child from one or more Washington school or child care immunization requirements. Washington DOH says the COE must be turned in to the school or child care and must be printed from the Department of Health webpage because it is an official state-seal document.
Official COE and school page: Washington DOH school immunization and exemption informationWashington DOH explains that measles, mumps, and rubella may not be exempted for personal or philosophical reasons. It also says the COE cannot be printed from the IIS. For many exemptions, a Washington-licensed health care practitioner must sign the form after providing information about the benefits and risks of immunization.
| Exemption issue | What it means | Best action |
|---|---|---|
| COE form | Official Washington Certificate of Exemption. | Use the current DOH webpage, not a copied form. |
| Partial exemption | If COE exempts only some required vaccines, both CIS and COE may be needed. | Ask school or child care staff to review both documents. |
| All required immunizations exempted | A CIS may not be needed if the COE covers all required immunizations. | Confirm with the school or child care program. |
| Out-of-state exemption | Washington DOH says a certificate from another state cannot be used for WA requirements. | Use Washington’s current COE process. |
Adult WA Immunization Records for Work, College, Travel and Immigration
Adults often need WA immunization records for health care jobs, nursing school, dental programs, college enrollment, clinical rotations, immigration medical exams, travel clinics, military paperwork, long-term care work, or personal files. Start with MyIR Mobile, then check the provider or pharmacy that administered the vaccine.
| Adult need | Best first source | What to ask for |
|---|---|---|
| Health care job | MyIR, provider, pharmacy, occupational health. | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, Tdap, flu, COVID-19, TB testing, or titers if required. |
| College or nursing program | College portal plus MyIR and provider records. | School-specific upload format, vaccine dates, or titer results. |
| Travel | Travel clinic, pharmacy, MyIR, primary care office. | Routine shots, travel shots, and exact dose dates. |
| Immigration medical exam | Civil surgeon instructions plus verified records. | Official vaccine history, foreign records, or acceptable lab proof. |
| Personal copy | MyIR, provider, pharmacy, WA DOH release route. | Complete immunization history and a saved PDF. |
Washington Local Help: Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver, Bellevue and Yakima
Local help matters when MyIR does not match, a provider is closed, a school deadline is close, or the vaccine was given through a public clinic. In Washington, residents often search by city or county because the local provider, local pharmacy, school, or public health office may be the fastest source.
| If you live near | Common local search | Practical action |
|---|---|---|
| Seattle | King County immunization records. | Use MyIR first, then provider, school, pharmacy, or Public Health — Seattle & King County resources. |
| Spokane | Spokane immunization records. | Check MyIR, Spokane-area providers, pharmacies, schools, or Spokane Regional Health District records. |
| Tacoma | Pierce County vaccine records. | Ask the clinic or pharmacy that gave the vaccine, then try MyIR or DOH release form. |
| Vancouver | Clark County immunization records. | Check whether vaccines were given in Washington or Oregon, then use the correct state registry. |
| Bellevue or Everett | King or Snohomish County vaccine records. | Use provider portals, MyIR, school records, and pharmacy profiles before requesting DOH help. |
| Yakima, Tri-Cities or Bellingham | County health district immunization records. | Call ahead and ask what ID, release form, appointment, or portal access is required. |
CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Safeway, Costco and Pharmacy Vaccine Records in Washington
Many Washington adults received flu, COVID-19, RSV, shingles, pneumonia, Tdap, hepatitis, or travel vaccines at a pharmacy. These records may appear in MyIR or WA IIS if reported and matched, but the pharmacy account is often the fastest place to look first.
Check your CVS account, MinuteClinic visit history, or call the store that gave the vaccine.
Use the same profile, phone number, and email used at the vaccine appointment.
Ask the pharmacy location for vaccine dates and a copy of your administered vaccine record.
Check the pharmacy account or call the pharmacy counter for vaccine documentation.
Request vaccine name, date, provider location, and printed proof if needed.
Ask for vaccine name, date, lot number if available, clinic name, and provider signature if required.
What If Your WA Immunization Record Is Missing?
A missing WA IIS or MyIR record does not automatically mean the vaccine never happened. CDC’s Washington IIS page notes provider reporting is voluntary under operational policy, so some doses may be missing if a provider, pharmacy, clinic, employer, military system, or out-of-state source did not report or match the record.
Cross-state help: CDC state immunization registry contacts| Problem | What it may mean | What to try next |
|---|---|---|
| MyIR cannot match your account | Name, date of birth, phone, or address may not match the registry. | Try provider, pharmacy, school, or DOH release route. |
| Vaccine from Oregon, Idaho or another state | The dose may be in the other state’s registry. | Use CDC’s IIS directory and contact the state where the shot was given. |
| Old childhood record | Paper records may predate complete electronic reporting. | Check old doctors, schools, family files, baby books, and county clinics. |
| Pharmacy dose missing | The pharmacy profile may not have matched WA IIS. | Ask the pharmacy for proof and whether it reported the dose. |
| Military, VA or federal vaccine | Records may be stored in federal systems, not only Washington IIS. | Check VA, TRICARE, base clinic, service medical records, or federal health portal. |
| Foreign vaccine record | Washington offices may need translated vaccine names and dates. | Bring original records to a provider, school, civil surgeon, or local health department. |
Titer Tests When Washington Vaccine Records Are Lost
A titer is a blood test that may show immunity to some diseases. It can help adults whose childhood records are gone, especially for health care jobs, nursing school, dental programs, medical school, college requirements, and immigration medical exams. But the office asking for proof decides whether titers are accepted.
| Situation | Titers may help with | Ask before paying |
|---|---|---|
| Health care job | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B. | Ask occupational health which lab result format they accept. |
| Nursing, medical, or dental program | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, sometimes other proof. | Ask the school compliance portal for exact requirements. |
| Immigration medical exam | Civil surgeon-reviewed proof. | Ask the civil surgeon before ordering labs. |
| K-12 school or child care | Limited school situations only. | Follow Washington DOH and school instructions before using titers. |
