Washington State Immunization Record 2026 Guide

Washington State immunization record — 2026
Washington State Immunization Record: MyIR, WAIIS & CIS Guide

Need a Washington State immunization record for school, child care, college, clinical training, a healthcare job, travel, immigration paperwork, COVID proof, or your personal health file? Washington residents usually start with MyIR Mobile, then use the Washington State Immunization Information System, a provider, pharmacy, school, local health jurisdiction, or Department of Health request route when the online match does not work.

Quick answer

To get a Washington State immunization record, sign up for MyIR Mobile first. Washington DOH says MyIR Mobile can let families view and print immunization information, including Certificate of Immunization Status records and COVID vaccination information, when the registration details match the state immunization registry.

Official first step: Washington DOH family immunization information

If MyIR does not match, use the backup routes: ask your healthcare provider, clinic, local pharmacy, child’s school, local health jurisdiction, or Washington DOH Office of Immunization. Washington DOH notes that it uses the state immunization system, but it does not have complete records for all people.

What Is WAIIS for Washington State Immunization Records?

WAIIS means the Washington State Immunization Information System. Washington DOH describes it as a secure, web-based lifetime registry that keeps track of immunization records for people of all ages. It is used by healthcare providers, schools, and public health programs.

Official reference: Washington State Immunization Information System

For public users, WAIIS is usually not something you log into directly. Families normally use MyIR Mobile, while providers, schools, and public health organizations use the secure IIS tools if they are authorized.

For parents

Use MyIR Mobile, your child’s provider, school, or DOH request route to locate a family record and CIS.

WA DOH family access
For adults

Use MyIR Mobile first, then provider, pharmacy, local health jurisdiction, or WAIISRecords@doh.wa.gov.

Adult immunization resources
For school

Washington uses the Certificate of Immunization Status, called CIS, for school and child care proof.

School and child care page
Privacy note WAIIS is not a public “search by name” website. Immunization records contain private health information. Use official DOH, MyIR, provider, pharmacy, school, or local health department routes only.

How MyIR Mobile Works in Washington State

MyIR Mobile is the main public-facing route Washington DOH points residents to for family immunization records. Registration information is used to match your details with the state immunization registry. After the match and verification, MyIR may show immunization history, CIS records, and COVID-19 vaccination certificate access.

Direct portal: MyIR Mobile
MyIR step What it does Practical tip
Account registration Creates a public user account for record access. Use a private device and a secure email account.
Registry matching Matches your details to Washington’s immunization system. Use the name, birth date, phone, and address your provider may have used.
Phone verification Finalizes account matching with a verification code. Try the phone number connected to your old medical record if matching fails.
Document view Lets you view or print available family records. Save a PDF and print one copy before deadlines.
Matching tip If you changed your name, moved, changed phone numbers, or used a nickname at a clinic, MyIR may not match. Try the details that were likely on file when the vaccine was given.

How to Get Washington State Immunization Records Step by Step

Use this order because it starts with the fastest public route and then moves to the backup routes Washington DOH lists.

  1. Start with MyIR Mobile. Register with your legal name, date of birth, phone, email, and other details that may match the Washington registry. After your account matches, look for immunization history, CIS, and COVID certificate options.
  2. Ask your healthcare provider, clinic, or pharmacy. Washington DOH says most healthcare providers in Washington use the Washington State Immunization System and may be able to print a complete immunization record.
  3. For a child, ask the school if it can print records. Washington DOH says all public schools and some private schools have access to WAIIS, and schools may be able to print student immunization records if requested ahead of time.
  4. Use the DOH record request route if MyIR and providers do not work. Washington DOH lists Office of Immunization record help, including WAIISRecords@doh.wa.gov, fax, mail, and authorization form options.
  5. Use WA Verify only for COVID-19 digital verification records. WA Verify is useful for digital COVID-19 vaccination proof, but it is not the same as a full lifetime immunization history.
  6. Check other states if your vaccines were given outside Washington. If your shots were given in Oregon, Idaho, California, Texas, Florida, military care, or another country, those records may not be complete in WAIIS.
  7. Save a clean copy once you find it. Keep one printed copy and one digital PDF copy. Use a simple filename like “Washington-Immunization-Record-2026.pdf.”
Do not wait until school registration week CIS review, provider records, missing dates, old paper records, and out-of-state transfers can take time. If school, child care, camp, college, or a job needs proof, start early.

Washington Adult Immunization Records Online

Adults often need Washington immunization records for healthcare employment, nursing school, college, caregiver work, military paperwork, travel, immigration medical exams, volunteer programs, or personal health history. The fastest route is usually MyIR Mobile if your details match WAIIS.

Adult vaccine resources: Washington DOH adult immunization information

If MyIR does not match your record, ask the provider or pharmacy that gave the vaccine. For older adult records, also check paper files, old schools, college health records, military or VA records, previous employers, and previous state registries.

Old record help: Tips for locating old immunization records
Adult need Best first step What to ask for
Healthcare job MyIR, provider, pharmacy, occupational health. MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, Tdap, flu, COVID-19, and any required titers.
College or training program School health portal plus MyIR and provider records. Program vaccine form, dates, CIS if requested, or lab proof.
Travel Travel clinic, pharmacy, primary care, MyIR. Routine vaccine dates, travel vaccine dates, and COVID proof if requested.
Immigration exam Civil surgeon instructions plus MyIR/provider/pharmacy records. Official vaccine history and accepted lab proof before repeating vaccines.
Personal archive MyIR Mobile plus provider and pharmacy portals. Full immunization history and PDF backup.
Senior-friendly tip If you do not like online portals, call the office and ask for “immunization records” or “medical records.” Have your full name, date of birth, previous last names, old address, old phone number, and vaccination location ready.

Washington Certificate of Immunization Status: CIS for School and Child Care

Washington’s school and child care immunization form is called the Certificate of Immunization Status, or CIS. Families may use a CIS printed from MyIR, a validated CIS from the IIS, or a hardcopy CIS that is medically verified according to Washington DOH guidance.

Official school page: Washington school and child care immunization information

A CIS printed from the IIS is medically verified by the IIS. Washington DOH explains that no additional parent or health care provider verification signature is needed when a CIS is printed from the IIS. A hardcopy CIS completed by hand may need a provider signature or attached medical vaccination records reviewed by school or child care staff.

CIS version guide: Acceptable versions of the CIS PDF
Washington document Used for Who can help
CIS from MyIR Mobile Family copy and school or child care proof when accepted. Parent/guardian through MyIR if account matches WAIIS.
Validated CIS from IIS Medically verified school and child care documentation. Provider, school, child care staff with IIS access.
Hardcopy CIS Out-of-state transfers or records not in IIS. Provider signature or school/child care review with attached medical records.
COE Exemption from one or more school or child care immunization requirements. Use Washington DOH’s current Certificate of Exemption process.
Medical immunization record Verifying dates written on a CIS. Provider, clinic, hospital portal, another state registry, or official stamped record.
Do not use a fake CIS template Washington schools and child care programs need medically verified information. A home vaccine list, baby book, or unsigned hand-filled CIS without proof may not be accepted.

WA Verify, MyIR and Washington COVID-19 Vaccine Records

WA Verify is Washington’s digital COVID-19 verification record website. Use it when you need a digital copy of a COVID-19 vaccination record or QR-style verification. MyIR Mobile is broader because it can show available immunization history and CIS access when the account matches the Washington registry.

COVID digital record: WA Verify official site
Tool Best for Important limit
MyIR Mobile Immunization history, CIS, and COVID certificate access. Must match the registry; older or out-of-state records may be missing.
WA Verify Digital COVID-19 verification record. Not a full lifetime immunization history tool.
Pharmacy app COVID, flu, RSV, shingles, and pharmacy shots. May show only vaccines given by that pharmacy chain.
Provider portal Clinic, hospital, and doctor-administered vaccines. May not include pharmacy or out-of-state vaccines.
Simple rule For a complete Washington vaccine history, start with MyIR and WAIIS routes. For a COVID-only QR or digital verification record, use WA Verify.

What If Your Washington State Immunization Record Is Missing or Wrong?

A missing record does not automatically mean the vaccine never happened. The dose may be under an old name, old phone number, different spelling, pharmacy profile, military record, out-of-state registry, provider portal, or older paper chart.

Name mismatch

Try legal name, maiden name, hyphenated name, adoption name, or the exact spelling used by the provider.

Phone mismatch

MyIR verification may depend on an older phone number connected to the medical record.

Out-of-state dose

Oregon, Idaho, California, Texas, Florida, military, or foreign records may not appear in WAIIS.

Pharmacy record

COVID, flu, RSV, shingles, travel, and adult shots may be fastest to find through pharmacy apps.

Provider did not update

Ask the provider or pharmacy that gave the vaccine if it can verify or correct the registry entry.

Older paper history

Childhood records may require school files, college health records, old providers, or titers.

Fix missing Washington record details

  1. Call the vaccine source. Ask the doctor, clinic, pharmacy, hospital, health department, or travel clinic for vaccine name and date.
  2. Ask if the vaccine was reported to WAIIS. If the dose was given in Washington, ask whether the provider can verify or correct the state registry data.
  3. Check school and college files. School nurses, registrars, and university health offices may have a copy you submitted earlier.
  4. Check pharmacy and hospital portals. Adult vaccines often appear in CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Costco, Safeway, QFC, Kaiser, Providence, MultiCare, UW Medicine, or other portals.
  5. Use CDC’s state IIS directory for other states. If the vaccine was given outside Washington, contact that state or the original provider.
  6. Ask about titers only after checking requirements. Some offices accept titers; others require vaccine dates or a specific form.

Local Washington Help: Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver, Bellevue and Yakima

Most residents can start with MyIR Mobile, but local help can matter when a record is missing, a school deadline is near, or the person does not use online accounts. Try the provider, pharmacy, school, local health jurisdiction, or Washington DOH record email route.

Local public health directory: Washington local health jurisdictions
If you live near Common search intent Practical route
Seattle / King County Seattle vaccine records, King County immunization record, school CIS. MyIR first, then provider/pharmacy, school, local public health help, or WAIISRecords@doh.wa.gov.

Cross-border tip If you live near Vancouver, Spokane, Walla Walla, Pullman, or the Tri-Cities, check whether part of your vaccine history was given in Oregon, Idaho, or another state.

CVS, Walgreens, Costco, Safeway, QFC and Pharmacy Vaccine Records in Washington

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.

Washington DOH record access options: Provider, pharmacy, school, and DOH routes
CVS vaccine records

Check the CVS or MinuteClinic account used when the vaccine appointment was made.

Walgreens vaccine records

Use the same name, birth date, phone, and email connected to the vaccine visit.

Rite Aid / Costco

Ask the pharmacy location for proof of vaccine administration or a printed immunization history.

Safeway / QFC

Check the pharmacy account or call the exact store where the dose was given.

Provider portals

Check Kaiser, Providence, MultiCare, Swedish, UW Medicine, Virginia Mason, or other portal records.

Missing pharmacy dose

Ask whether the pharmacy sent the dose to WAIIS and whether the patient details were correct.

Old Washington Records, Out-of-State Shots and Titer Tests

Vaccines given outside Washington

If your vaccine was given in Oregon, Idaho, California, Texas, Florida, another state, military care, or another country, it may not show in Washington’s system. Contact the registry or provider where the vaccine was actually given.

Federal directory: CDC contacts for IIS immunization records

Old doctor retired or clinic closed

Search for the successor practice, hospital group, medical records custodian, school health office, college health center, military clinic, pharmacy, and current provider. Closed clinics often transfer records to another organization.

You need a record today

Try MyIR first, then call the provider, pharmacy, and receiving office at the same time. Ask whether a provider printout, pharmacy proof, request confirmation, or temporary document is accepted while a registry update is pending.

Titer tests

A titer is a blood test that may show immunity to some diseases, often MMR, varicella, or hepatitis B. It can help when adult childhood records are lost, but the school, employer, college, civil surgeon, or clinical program decides whether titers are accepted.

Situation Titers may help with Ask before paying
Healthcare job MMR, varicella, hepatitis B. Ask occupational health for accepted labs and result format.
Nursing or medical school MMR, varicella, hepatitis B. Ask the program whether positive IgG titers replace vaccine dates.
K-12 school or child care Certain diseases only under current Washington guidance. Ask school/child care and check current DOH CIS rules.
Immigration exam Civil surgeon-reviewed proof. Ask the civil surgeon before ordering independent labs.
Cost warning Do not pay for titers or repeat vaccines until the school, employer, college, or civil surgeon confirms exactly what proof is accepted.
