Washington State Immunization Records: MyIR, CIS & WAIIS Help

Need a Washington State vaccine record for school, child care, college, a healthcare job, travel, immigration paperwork, COVID proof, or your own family folder? Washington residents usually start with MyIR Mobile, the Washington State Immunization Information System, also called WAIIS, a provider, pharmacy, school, or the Washington Department of Health record request route.

Quick answer

To get Washington State immunization records, start with MyIR Mobile, your healthcare provider, local pharmacy, your child’s school, or Washington DOH’s WAIIS record request process. Washington DOH says MyIR Mobile can let you view immunization records, Certificate of Immunization Status records, and COVID-19 vaccination certificate access when your registration matches the state registry.

Official starting page: Washington DOH — Access your family’s immunization information

If MyIR cannot find your record, do not assume you were never vaccinated. The record may be under an old name, old phone number, different birth date format, pharmacy profile, military record, out-of-state registry, provider portal, or older paper chart.

What Is WAIIS and MyIR Mobile in Washington State?

WAIIS means the Washington State Immunization Information System. Washington DOH describes it as a statewide, lifetime immunization 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.

Official WAIIS page: Washington State Immunization Information System

MyIR Mobile is the public access route Washington DOH points families and adults to for online records. After registration and matching, MyIR can show available immunization history, the Certificate of Immunization Status, and COVID-19 vaccination certificate access.

Official consumer route: MyIR Mobile
For parents

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

Washington IIS parent information
For adults

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

Washington adult immunization page
For school

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

School and child care immunization
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 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 Information 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 the Office of Immunization record route, including WAIISRecords@doh.wa.gov, fax, mail, and authorization form options.
  5. Use WA Verify only for digital COVID-19 verification records. WA Verify is useful for a digital copy of a COVID-19 vaccination record, but it is not the same thing 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, another state, Puerto Rico, 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 access: Washington DOH adult immunization resources

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

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 vaccine 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.

CVS, Walgreens, Costco, Safeway, Walmart 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 also lists provider, clinic, pharmacy, school, and DOH request routes on its record access page: WA DOH access options
CVS records

Check the CVS or MinuteClinic account used at the appointment and ask for a vaccine history if needed.

Walgreens records

Use the Walgreens account connected to the appointment or call the pharmacy location directly.

Costco records

Contact the Costco pharmacy where the vaccine was given, especially for adult vaccines.

Safeway / Albertsons

Check the pharmacy profile or call the store pharmacy if the vaccine does not appear in MyIR.

Walmart records

Ask the Walmart pharmacy for immunization documentation tied to your name and date of birth.

Travel clinic records

Ask for vaccine names, exact dates, provider name, and any official signature or stamp if required.

Why MyIR or WAIIS May Not Find Your Washington Record

A missing Washington immunization record does not always mean the vaccine never happened. Registry records depend on provider reporting, correct matching, old names, date of birth accuracy, pharmacy reporting, and whether the vaccine was given in Washington.

Washington DOH notes that DOH uses WAIIS but does not have complete immunization records for all people: WA DOH record access
Problem What it means What to try next
Name mismatch Record may be under maiden name, old legal name, hyphenated name, or nickname. Ask provider or DOH support to search using previous names and exact birth date.
Wrong birth date A small error can stop a MyIR match. Check old portals, pharmacy accounts, and provider profiles for the date used.
Out-of-state shots Vaccines from Oregon, Idaho, California, Texas, Florida, or another state may be in another registry. Use CDC’s state IIS directory to contact the correct state.
Pharmacy-only record Some adult vaccines may be easier to locate through the pharmacy first. Check the pharmacy app and request a printout.
Military or VA care Federal records may not be fully reflected in WAIIS. Check VA, TRICARE, military clinic, or service medical records.
Old paper record Older childhood vaccines may not have been electronically reported. Search old schools, parents’ files, pediatricians, local health departments, and prior states.
Micro checklist before giving up Try old names, previous addresses, old phone numbers, previous email accounts, provider portals, pharmacy apps, school records, college health records, military records, another state registry, and WAIISRecords@doh.wa.gov.

Washington School, Child Care, College and Job Immunization Records

Washington school and child care records usually center on the CIS. Washington DOH’s school page says children must have documentation of full immunity before attending school, preschool, or child care, and that documentation can include vaccination documentation or proof of acquired immunity depending on the disease and rule.

School and child care page: Washington DOH school immunization

College programs, healthcare employers, nursing schools, volunteer programs, travel clinics, and immigration civil surgeons may require a different format. Some accept MyIR records. Some want provider records. Some want titers. Some want a school-specific upload form. Always ask the receiving office exactly what format they accept.

Who is asking? Likely proof needed Best action
Child care CIS or school-approved medical immunization record. Use MyIR, provider, school staff, or local health help.
K-12 school CIS showing complete, conditional, or not complete status. Print through MyIR or ask school/provider with IIS access.
College College-specific vaccine record or titer upload. Check the college health portal first.
Healthcare employer MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, Tdap, flu, COVID, TB policy, or titers. Ask occupational health for exact requirements.
Immigration civil surgeon Civil surgeon-reviewed vaccine proof. Ask the civil surgeon before paying for titers or repeat vaccines.
Washington exemption warning A Certificate of Exemption, or COE, is separate from the CIS. Use the current Washington DOH form and current school instructions. Do not rely on an old out-of-state exemption 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.

DOH record request route: Washington DOH immunization record access
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.
Spokane Spokane immunization records and child school proof. MyIR, Spokane-area provider/pharmacy, school office, or DOH request route.
Tacoma / Pierce County Tacoma vaccine record, Pierce County school record. Provider, pharmacy, school nurse, MyIR, or Washington DOH support.

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.

Titer Tests When Washington Vaccine Records Are Missing

A titer is a blood test that may show immunity to some diseases. Washington school guidance recognizes documentation of immunity by antibody titer for some diseases, but not every disease and not every organization accepts titers the same way.

School titer guidance appears in Washington DOH school immunization materials: Washington school immunization page
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 Washington guidance. Ask school/child care and check current DOH CIS rules.
Immigration exam Civil surgeon-reviewed proof. Ask the civil surgeon first.
Money-saving rule Do not order titers until the school, employer, college, or civil surgeon confirms exactly which test and result format they accept.
