Need WA State immunization records for school, child care, college, healthcare work, travel, immigration, military paperwork, COVID-19 proof, or your own family file? Washington’s main public online route is MyIR Mobile, while the state registry behind many records is the Washington State Immunization Information System, often called WAIIS. This guide explains how to print records, how to get the Certificate of Immunization Status, what to do when MyIR does not match, and which official backup route to use.
To get WA State immunization records online, start with MyIR Mobile. Washington DOH says MyIR Mobile can let you view immunization records, print the Certificate of Immunization Status, and access a COVID-19 vaccination certificate when your registration information matches the state immunization registry.
Official starting point: Washington DOH — Access your family’s immunization informationIf MyIR Mobile does not work, use backup routes: your healthcare provider, clinic, pharmacy, child’s school, or the Washington DOH Office of Immunization authorization process. A missing online match does not always mean the vaccine was never given.

What Is WAIIS for WA State Immunization Records?
WAIIS means the Washington State Immunization Information System. Washington DOH describes it as a lifetime registry that keeps track of immunization records for people of all ages. It is a secure, web-based tool used by healthcare providers and schools, not a normal public lookup page for everyone.
Official source: Washington State Immunization Information SystemFor residents and families, the easier public route is MyIR Mobile. After registration and matching, MyIR may show available vaccine history, the Washington Certificate of Immunization Status, and COVID-19 vaccination certificate access.
Official public route: MyIR MobileUse MyIR Mobile, the child’s provider, school, or DOH route to locate family records and a CIS.
WA DOH family record optionsUse MyIR Mobile first, then provider, pharmacy, college, employer, old state registry, or DOH record support.

Washington school immunization pageHow to Get WA State Immunization Records Step by Step
Use this order because it starts with the fastest online route and then moves to the official backup routes Washington DOH lists.
- Start with MyIR Mobile. Register with your legal name, date of birth, phone number, email, and details that may match the Washington registry. After account matching, look for immunization history, CIS, and COVID certificate options.
- Use exact identity details. Matching problems can happen if the record is tied to a previous last name, old phone number, old address, nickname, hyphenated name, or a parent’s older contact information.
- Ask the provider, clinic, or local pharmacy. Washington DOH says most healthcare providers in Washington use the state immunization system and may be able to print a complete record or provide records from their medical record system.
- For a child, ask the school if it can help. Washington DOH says all public schools and some private schools have access to WAIIS. Depending on staffing, the school may be able to print student immunization records if requested ahead of time.
- For school or child care, ask for the CIS. A school may need the Certificate of Immunization Status, not a casual screenshot or pharmacy receipt.
- Use the Washington DOH record release route if needed. If MyIR, the provider, the pharmacy, and the school cannot help, contact the Office of Immunization and use the Authorization to Release Immunization Records process.
- Use WA Verify only for COVID-19 proof. WA Verify is useful for a digital COVID-19 vaccination record, but it is not the same as a full lifetime immunization history or every CIS need.
- Check another state if the vaccine was given outside Washington. Oregon, Idaho, California, Alaska, Texas, Florida, military care, Puerto Rico, or another country may have records that do not automatically show in WAIIS.
- Save a clean copy. After you get the record, save a PDF and print one copy. Use a clear file name such as “WA-State-Immunization-Records-2026.pdf.”
MyIR Mobile WA State: Login, Registration and Matching
MyIR Mobile is the main online tool Washington residents use for family immunization information. Washington DOH says registration information is used to match your records with the state immunization registry, and a verification code may be sent to your phone to finalize the process.
Official MyIR instructions: Washington DOH MyIR Mobile instructionsIf MyIR Mobile cannot find your record, try older details before giving up. Many failed searches happen because the record is tied to a different phone number, older address, previous last name, parent record, provider spelling, or pharmacy profile.
Direct login route: MyIR Mobile| MyIR issue | What it may mean | What to try next |
|---|---|---|
| No match found | Your details may not match the WAIIS record. | Try legal name, previous name, date of birth, old phone, old address, and provider route. |
| Verification code issue | The phone number connected to the record may be old or different. | Try the phone linked to the clinic, pharmacy, or old school record. |
| Child not showing | Family linking or guardian information may not match. | Ask the child’s provider, school, or DOH record route. |
| Missing vaccine date | Dose may not have been reported or may be stored somewhere else. | Check pharmacy, provider portal, school records, or another state registry. |
| Need school proof | A general record may not be the right school document. | Print the CIS from MyIR if available and confirm with the school. |
Washington DOH Record Request Route When MyIR Does Not Work
If you cannot get a complete record through MyIR, your provider, your pharmacy, or your child’s school, Washington DOH gives another official route. The Office of Immunization can check whether a WAIIS record exists after you provide identifying information such as name, date of birth, and address.
Official instructions: Request a complete immunization record from DOHWashington DOH says it will not release record details over the phone. If a record exists and you need a copy, you may need to complete the Authorization to Release Immunization Records form and submit it by mail, fax, or email.
| DOH route | Official detail | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Phone | 360-236-3595 | Office of Immunization record questions and help starting the route. |
| Toll-free | 1-866-397-0337 | Immunization record help and WAIIS guidance. |
| WAIISRecords@doh.wa.gov | Record release questions and signed authorization form submission. | |
| Fax | 360-236-3590 | Authorization form submission when accepted. |

| Timing | Within five business days after signed form is received | Planning school, job, travel, or college deadlines. |
Certificate of Immunization Status: WA CIS for School and Child Care
The Certificate of Immunization Status, usually called the CIS, is the Washington school and child care immunization document. Families often need it for public school, private school, preschool, child care, camp, sports, and transfer enrollment.
Official school page: Washington school and child care immunizationA CIS printed from MyIR Mobile or WAIIS can be medically verified because the vaccine dates come from the state system. A handwritten CIS can require provider verification or attached medical immunization records, depending on the situation.
| WA document | Used for | Best route |
|---|---|---|
| CIS from MyIR Mobile | Family copy and school or child care proof when accepted. | Parent or guardian through MyIR if the account matches WAIIS. |
| Validated CIS from WAIIS | Medically verified school and child care documentation. | Provider, school, or child care staff with IIS access. |
| Hardcopy CIS | Out-of-state transfers or records not fully in IIS. | Provider signature or attached medical records for school review. |
| COE | Certificate of Exemption from one or more requirements. | Follow current Washington DOH school exemption instructions. |
| Out-of-state record | Proof of vaccines given before moving to Washington. | Attach to CIS or ask school/provider how to medically verify it. |
Can You Download WA State Immunization Records as a PDF?
Yes, many residents can download or print available WA State immunization records through MyIR Mobile when their account matches the Washington registry. For school or child care, look specifically for the Certificate of Immunization Status option when available.
Print route: MyIR MobileAfter printing or downloading, save the file with a clear name and keep one paper copy. Do not crop the name, birth date, vaccine names, or dose dates. Schools, employers, colleges, and agencies may reject partial screenshots.
WA Verify for COVID-19 Vaccine Records
WA Verify is Washington’s digital COVID-19 vaccination record tool. It can help when you specifically need a COVID-19 vaccine record or QR code. It is not the same as a complete lifetime immunization record and does not replace every CIS or school requirement.
Official COVID route: WA Verify Digital COVID-19 Vaccine Record| Tool | Best for | Important limit |
|---|---|---|
| MyIR Mobile | Immunization history, CIS, family records, and COVID certificate access. | Must match the registry; older or out-of-state records may be missing. |
| WA Verify | Digital COVID-19 verification record and QR code. | Not a full lifetime vaccine history tool. |
| Provider portal | Clinic, hospital, and provider-submitted vaccines. | May only show vaccines in that health system. |
| Pharmacy app | COVID-19, flu, RSV, shingles, and pharmacy shots. | May show only vaccines given by that pharmacy chain. |
WA Local Help: Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver, Everett, Bellevue and Olympia
If MyIR Mobile does not match your record, local help may be faster. Start with the provider, pharmacy, school, college clinic, or local health jurisdiction connected to where the vaccine was given. For students, a school office or school nurse may already have a CIS or access to WAIIS.
State route: Washington DOH record help| If you live near | Common user intent | Best action |
|---|---|---|
| Seattle / King County | CIS, child record, COVID proof, provider or pharmacy vaccine history. | Try MyIR Mobile, then provider, pharmacy, school nurse, or local public health support. |
| Spokane | Adult records, school CIS, college records, missing MyIR match. | Check MyIR, provider portal, pharmacy account, then DOH record support. |
| Tacoma / Pierce County | School and child care proof, military family records, pharmacy shots. | Check pediatrician, pharmacy, military records if relevant, and MyIR/WAIIS. |
| Vancouver / Clark County | Washington vs Oregon record confusion. | If the shot was given in Oregon, check Oregon’s state record route too. |
| Everett / Snohomish County | CIS, adult records, child care, job records. | Use MyIR Mobile and provider records before using DOH authorization. |
| Bellevue / Eastside | Provider portal records and school enrollment proof. | Ask the health system, pediatrician, or school what CIS version is accepted. |
| Olympia / Thurston County | DOH support, adult records, state request questions. | Use MyIR, provider records, and Washington DOH Office of Immunization contact details. |
CVS, Walgreens, Costco, Safeway, Walmart and Pharmacy Vaccine Records in WA
Many Washington adults received COVID-19, flu, RSV, shingles, pneumonia, hepatitis, Tdap, or travel vaccines at a pharmacy. Those records may show in WAIIS if reported and matched correctly, but the pharmacy app or local pharmacy counter is often the fastest backup.
Old-record help: Immunize.org tips for locating old immunization recordsCheck your CVS or MinuteClinic account, then call the store or clinic if the record is not visible.
Use the Walgreens profile tied to the appointment and confirm old phone numbers if needed.
Contact the Costco pharmacy and verify your identity, appointment date, and vaccine details.
Check the pharmacy profile or call the local store pharmacy for vaccine documentation.
Ask the Walmart pharmacy for vaccine names, dates, and printed documentation.
Ask for vaccine names, exact dates, lot numbers if available, and provider signature if needed.
Why Your WA State Immunization Record May Be Missing
A missing WA record does not automatically mean the vaccine was never given. It may mean the dose was given outside Washington, not reported to WAIIS, entered under different identity details, stored only in a provider chart, or linked to a phone number you no longer use.
Cross-state help: CDC immunization registry contacts by state| Problem | What it means | What to try next |
|---|---|---|
| Name mismatch | Record may be under a maiden name, old last name, hyphenated name, nickname, or different spelling. | Ask provider or DOH support to search old names and exact date of birth. |
| Old phone number | MyIR verification may depend on matched phone information. | Try the phone used at the clinic or pharmacy when vaccinated. |
| Out-of-state vaccine | The vaccine may be in another state’s registry. | Contact the state where the vaccine was actually given. |
| Provider-only record | The vaccine may be in a medical record system but not matched in MyIR. | Ask the clinic or health system for an immunization history. |
| Pharmacy-only record | The pharmacy may have the vaccine even if MyIR does not show it. | Check the pharmacy app or call the exact store pharmacy. |
| Military, VA, or federal vaccine | Record may live in federal or military health systems. | Check VA, TRICARE, base clinic, or service medical records. |
WA Immunization Records vs Full Medical Records
An immunization record is not the same as a complete medical record. A vaccine record usually lists vaccine names, dose dates, and sometimes provider-submitted details. A full medical record can include doctor notes, diagnoses, lab results, prescriptions, imaging, hospital visits, and other treatment information.
For vaccine records, start with MyIR Mobile or Washington DOH record guidance. For full medical records, contact the provider or hospital medical records department.| Need | Ask for | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| School vaccine proof | Certificate of Immunization Status, or CIS. | MyIR Mobile, provider, school office, or DOH school forms. |
| Adult vaccine history | WAIIS immunization history or provider/pharmacy record. | MyIR Mobile, provider, pharmacy, or DOH support. |
| COVID QR code | Digital COVID-19 Vaccine Record. | WA Verify. |
| Full hospital chart | Complete medical record or visit records. | Hospital medical records department. |
| Lab proof of immunity | Titer lab results. | Doctor, lab, employer instructions, school instructions, or civil surgeon. |
Adult WA State Records for College, Work, Healthcare Jobs, Travel and Immigration
Adults often need WA State immunization records for nursing school, college enrollment, healthcare employment, caregiver work, travel clinics, immigration medical exams, military paperwork, volunteer roles, or personal medical history. The best route depends on who is asking and what format they accept.
General adult vaccine guidance: CDC adult vaccines| Adult need | Likely proof | Best WA route |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare job | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, Tdap, flu, COVID-19, TB screening, or titers. | MyIR Mobile, provider, pharmacy records, and occupational health instructions. |
| College or nursing school | Campus-specific vaccine upload, vaccine dates, or titers. | College health portal, MyIR Mobile, provider, and pharmacy records. |
| Travel | Routine and travel vaccine dates. | Travel clinic, pharmacy, provider, and MyIR if available. |
| Immigration medical exam | Civil surgeon-reviewed vaccine evidence. | Provider records, pharmacy records, foreign records, and civil surgeon guidance. |
| Personal archive | Complete readable vaccine history. | MyIR Mobile, provider portals, pharmacy apps, and paper backups. |
Titer tests when WA records are lost
A titer is a blood test that can show immunity to certain diseases. It may help when childhood records are gone, especially for healthcare jobs or college programs. But the school, employer, college, or civil surgeon decides whether titers are accepted.
Transfer Out-of-State Immunization Records to Washington
If you moved to Washington from another state, bring the complete vaccine record to a Washington provider, school, college, or local health office. WAIIS may not automatically contain vaccines from Oregon, Idaho, California, Alaska, Florida, Texas, another state, military care, or another country.
Find previous state records: CDC IIS contacts by stateIf the record is for school or child care, ask whether the out-of-state record can be attached to a hardcopy CIS, entered into WAIIS by an authorized user, or reviewed by the school according to Washington’s medically verified record rules.
