Washington · MyIR, WAIIS, school CIS, record release and missing-dose recovery

Find the Right Washington Immunization Record Without Getting Stuck in the Provider System

Washington adults and parents usually start with MyIR, which can match eligible users to immunization information held in the Washington State Immunization Information System. The matching process depends on identity and telephone information already associated with the registry record.

If MyIR says No Match, sends the verification code to an old number, shows an incomplete history, or you need a Certificate of Immunization Status for school or child care, use the specific fallback route below rather than repeatedly retrying the same information.

Public online route

MyIR Mobile.

State registry

WAIIS / WA IIS.

School document

Certificate of Immunization Status.

Record line

1-866-397-0337.

Formal fallback

Authorization to Release Immunization Records.

Quick answer

Use one of Washington’s four official record routes

1. MyIR — best first online route

Use MyIR when you want available Washington immunization records for yourself or an eligible child and you can complete registry identity matching.

  • Consumer-facing online access.
  • Exact record matching.
  • Phone verification.
  • Printable immunization history.
  • Access to a school CIS when available.
2. Provider, clinic or pharmacy

Use this when a dose is missing, the phone number is wrong, MyIR does not match, or you need proof directly from the administering organization.

  • Ask for the provider’s own record.
  • Ask whether staff can print WAIIS information.
  • Verify patient demographics.
  • Use the administering organization for corrections.
3. Child’s school

Washington DOH says all public schools and some private schools have access to WAIIS. Whether staff can print a record depends on staffing and local procedures.

  • Ask ahead of registration deadlines.
  • Request the immunization file or CIS.
  • Ask whether the school can print a validated CIS.
  • Ask for the exact missing requirement.
4. Washington Department of Health

Use the state record route when MyIR, the provider, pharmacy and school do not solve the problem.

  • Call first to learn whether a WAIIS record exists.
  • Vaccine details are not released over the phone.
  • Use the signed release form for the actual record.
  • Email, fax and postal-mail delivery are available.

Best deadline strategy:
If the record is due today or this week, try MyIR and contact the provider, pharmacy or school during the same business day. Do not wait for one route to fail before starting the others.

Go directly to the problem you need to solve

Every section below answers a specific Washington record task.

Know the systems

MyIR, WAIIS, CIS and WA Verify solve different problems

Washington record systems compared
System/document Main user What it does Important limitation
MyIR Mobile Individuals, parents and guardians. Matches eligible users to official state immunization information and allows records to be viewed or printed. Your identifying information and at least one phone number must match the registry record.
WAIIS / WA IIS Authorized healthcare providers, schools, public-health organizations and other approved users. Washington’s statewide lifetime immunization registry for people of all ages. It is not an unrestricted public people-search portal.
CIS Families, schools and child-care programs. Official Certificate of Immunization Status used for Washington school and child-care documentation. A general vaccine history is not always a substitute for the required CIS workflow.
WA Verify People seeking Washington COVID-19 digital proof. Provides a COVID-19 SMART Health Card when matching information exists. It is not the normal route for a complete lifetime vaccine record or school CIS.
WAIIS may not contain every lifetime vaccination.
CDC’s current Washington IIS policy says the registry covers all ages, but Washington does not mandate all vaccination providers to report to WAIIS. Reporting is voluntary under current operational policy.

Exact online workflow

How to get a Washington State vaccine record through MyIR

Start from Washington DOH or MyIR
Use the official Washington record-access page or MyIR itself instead of a third-party “vaccine record lookup” advertisement.
Create an account or sign in
Recover an existing account when possible instead of creating several MyIR profiles with different information.
Use a working email address
Current MyIR guidance says an email address is required. Your MyIR username is the email address used for the account.
Complete account setup
Follow the live password and account-verification prompts shown by MyIR.
Begin record linking
MyIR uses registration information to search for an exact record match in the state immunization registry.
Enter identity information carefully
Use the legal or previous name, date of birth and other demographic information likely stored by Washington healthcare providers.
Enter up to four possible telephone numbers
MyIR can use all four numbers during the search; only one must match the state-registry information.
Select text or automated call
For each phone number, current MyIR allows you to choose text message or auto-dial call for the verification code.
Enter the registry verification code
The code goes only to the telephone number associated with the matched registry record.
Open the Immunizations area
Review the vaccine history and compare it with every provider or pharmacy you expected to see.
Download the appropriate document

Store the PDF somewhere private and keep a second backup so you do not have to reconstruct the history again.

Before retrying

Prepare the details most likely stored with your WAIIS record

Current legal first name
Middle name when used
Current last name
Maiden or former surname
Hyphenated-name variation
Suffix if applicable
Exact date of birth
Current phone number
Previous mobile numbers
Previous landline numbers
Parent phone used during childhood
Current Washington address
Previous Washington addresses
Primary provider name
Previous providers
Pharmacies that administered vaccines

Useful matching clue:
MyIR says the phone number associated with your immunization record is likely to be the same number your primary healthcare provider had on file.
Updating MyIR does not automatically change WAIIS.
You can update profile information inside MyIR, but if the underlying state-registry information is wrong, contact the healthcare provider or state health department to ask how the WAIIS information should be corrected.

Two different security steps

A working MyIR login does not mean your WAIIS record is linked

MyIR account access

This lets you sign in to the consumer portal.

Registry record linking

MyIR separately needs an exact registry match before the immunization history can be linked to the account.

This explains a common “I can log in but see no record” problem.
The account itself can work even when the identity or phone information cannot yet be matched to WAIIS.

Old-phone problem

What if the MyIR verification code goes to a phone you cannot access?

Current MyIR guidance says the record-linking code must be sent to the phone number stored with the matched immunization-registry record. MyIR cannot simply redirect that code to a different number.

Old mobile number
Check real numbers you used when vaccines were administered.
Parent’s old number
Childhood records may be tied to a parent or guardian’s historical number.
Former landline
Try genuine home numbers that were previously supplied to providers.
Provider has stale information
Ask the healthcare office what phone number it has associated with your vaccination history.

Provider script
“MyIR is sending the registry verification code to a phone number I cannot access. Please verify the name, date of birth, address and phone number associated with my WAIIS record and tell me how the incorrect contact information can be updated.”
Do not ask another person to forward the verification code.
Use the provider, WAIIS Records or state-assisted request route instead.

Parent and guardian route

How to access a child’s Washington immunization record

Current MyIR guidance says children under age 18 can be added to an adult account. A person over age 18 is treated as an adult and needs their own MyIR account.

Sign in to the parent’s or guardian’s account
Use the responsible adult’s legitimate MyIR account.
Select Add Family Member or Add a Child
The wording can vary by the current MyIR interface.
Enter the child’s legal information
Use the exact spelling and birth date held by the child’s healthcare provider.
Add genuine parent or household phone numbers
MyIR may attempt to link the child’s record using the primary registrant’s phone information.
Complete phone verification
Enter the code sent to the number matching the child’s registry profile.
Review the child’s record against other sources
Check pediatrician, pharmacy, school clinic, local public-health and out-of-state vaccinations.

Pediatrician script
“MyIR cannot link my child’s Washington record. Please verify the child’s exact legal name, date of birth, parent contact information and WAIIS profile, and confirm that recent vaccinations were entered under the correct patient.”

Print, PDF and refresh

Download a clean MyIR record and refresh it after new vaccinations

Save the record

  1. Open the correct person.
  2. Open Immunizations.
  3. Use the printable/PDF option.
  4. Download every page.
  5. Open the saved file before signing out.
Refresh after a new vaccine

  1. Sign back into MyIR.
  2. Open Immunizations.
  3. Select Check for Updates.
  4. Review the revised history.
  5. Download a new copy if the record changed.

Forecasts are not administration proof.
MyIR may display an “Immunization Needs” forecast. That section is not proof that a vaccine was actually administered. Use dated immunization-history entries as record evidence.
Do not manually edit a downloaded record.
If a vaccine is wrong or missing, correct the source record instead and then refresh MyIR.

No Match troubleshooting

Why MyIR may not find your Washington vaccine record

Former name
WAIIS may contain a maiden name, old surname, hyphenated variation or provider spelling.
Date-of-birth error
A transposed month, day or year can prevent exact matching.
Old telephone number
The state record may use a previous mobile number, landline or parent contact.
Old address
A provider may have submitted an earlier Washington address.
Duplicate profiles
Vaccines may be divided between records created with different demographics.
Provider did not report the dose
Washington’s current IIS policy uses voluntary provider reporting.
Another state holds the record
Vaccinations given elsewhere may remain in that jurisdiction.
Previous opt-out
Registry participation history can affect availability.
Military or federal record
Military, VA or federal healthcare systems may hold separate documentation.
International record
Washington may never have received the foreign vaccination documentation.

Use this escalation order

Confirm demographics with your provider
Compare the name, birth date, address and phone stored in the medical chart.
Retry MyIR with genuine historical information
Do not invent alternate data just to force a match.
Check the administering provider and pharmacy
Ask for their own vaccine administration records.
Ask whether duplicate WAIIS records may exist
A provider or records specialist may need to investigate split profiles.
Ask the school when childhood records are relevant
A current or former school may already have useful immunization documentation.
Use the signed Washington DOH authorization
The formal release route is the strongest fallback when automatic MyIR matching fails.

Clinical correction route

Fix a vaccine that is missing or incorrect in MyIR/WAIIS

MyIR displays registry information but does not directly correct clinical vaccination entries. Current MyIR help tells users with missing vaccines to work with their healthcare provider.

Evidence to collect before asking for a correction
Evidence Possible source Why it helps
Vaccine name Provider portal, pharmacy history or paper vaccine card. Identifies the missing clinical event.
Administration date Clinical record, receipt or pharmacy history. Helps staff locate the exact encounter.
Administering location Clinic, pharmacy, employer clinic or public-health site. Shows which organization can verify the vaccination.
Manufacturer / lot when available Original administration record. Provides additional verification.
Identity used at the visit Appointment, pharmacy or insurance profile. May explain a duplicate WAIIS profile.
Correction script
“My Washington immunization record is missing or incorrectly showing the [vaccine] administered by your organization around [date]. Please verify the original administration record, check my patient demographics and confirm whether the dose appears correctly in WAIIS.”
After the correction:
Sign into MyIR, open Immunizations, select Check for Updates and download a fresh record.
Do not repeat a vaccine solely because it is absent online.
Give the available documentation to a qualified healthcare professional and let that professional determine the appropriate medical next step.

Official PDF route

Use Washington’s Authorization to Release Immunization Records when MyIR is not enough

Washington’s official two-page authorization lets WAIIS release the system’s immunization information to the patient, parent/legal guardian or another named person or agency.

Handwritten signature required

The current July 2025 form explicitly says an electronic signature is not acceptable.

Up to five people on one form

Page one covers the primary patient and page two has space for four additional patients or children.

Email, fax or mail

The form allows the record to be sent by the selected authorized delivery method.

PDF field-by-field help

What to complete on the Washington release form

Patient or child section

Patient/child first name
Middle name
Last name
Date of birth
Previous name or names

Patient or guardian section

Patient/guardian full name when applicable
Patient/child or parent phone number
Street address and apartment number
City
State
ZIP code
Email address
Patient/guardian date of birth

Recipient section

Recipient first and last name
Agency if applicable
Recipient phone number
Email address when email is selected
Fax number when fax is selected
Complete mailing address when mail is selected

Signature section

Handwritten patient or parent/legal-guardian signature
Relationship to patient/child
Date signed

Adding additional family members

Page two provides four additional patient/child entries. For each additional person, enter the first, middle and last name, date of birth and previous names as applicable.

Scan both sides/pages when page two is used.
Confirm that every name, birth date, delivery field and signature is legible before submitting the form.

Important source discrepancy

Washington currently publishes two record-processing descriptions

Use the longer form deadline for conservative planning
Official source Current wording Practical planning rule
Washington DOH consumer record webpage Says the signed record will be mailed, faxed or securely emailed within five business days. Useful as the state’s normal consumer-facing expectation.
July 2025 Authorization to Release form Says records will be sent no later than 15 business days, usually within 3–5 business days. Use 15 business days as the safer outside limit when a deadline matters.
Do not wait for the formal request if tomorrow is the deadline.
Use MyIR plus the provider, pharmacy or school at the same time.

Email privacy wording also differs

The consumer webpage describes secure email delivery, but the current authorization form explicitly warns that information will not be encrypted if you ask for it to be sent by email after it leaves the Immunization Information System.

Privacy-sensitive request?
Treat the signed form’s explicit warning as the conservative rule. Confirm the current delivery method with WAIIS Records before choosing email if confidentiality is a concern.

How long does the authorization remain valid?

The current form says the authorization expires 18 years after it is signed or when the child turns 18, whichever comes first, unless it is terminated earlier.

Can you revoke the authorization?

Yes. The form says you may revoke it by sending a written request to WAIIS by mail or fax. Revocation does not apply to information already released before WAIIS received the revocation request.

Telephone privacy

WAIIS Records can tell you whether a record exists—but will not read the vaccine history over the phone

Washington DOH says callers are asked for identifying information such as name, date of birth and address. Staff can tell you whether a record exists in WAIIS, but no other immunization information is released by phone.

Use this before completing a formal request:
If you are unsure whether the state has any record for you, calling can help you avoid spending time on a release request for a record that does not exist in WAIIS.

Official school document

How to get an accepted Washington Certificate of Immunization Status

The CIS is Washington’s official immunization-status form for school and child-care documentation. Washington DOH says the form includes the State Seal and should not be recreated in a non-DOH electronic record system.

Ways to create a medically verified CIS
CIS route How it works Additional provider signature?
Validated CIS printed from WAIIS An authorized provider, school or child-care user prints it directly from WAIIS. No. The IIS medically verifies the information.
CIS printed through MyIR The parent/guardian prints the available school certificate through MyIR. No additional provider-verification signature is required for the IIS-originated information.
Hardcopy CIS signed by provider Vaccination dates are entered on the official hardcopy CIS and the healthcare provider verifies the information. Yes, provider verification can be used.
Completed hardcopy CIS plus medical records The CIS is completed and qualifying medical records are attached so authorized school/child-care staff can compare them with the form. Authorized reviewer signs after verification.
Do not turn in a blank CIS with medical records stapled behind it.
Washington requires the vaccine dates to be entered on the CIS itself when the hardcopy route is used.
MyIR CIS nuance:
Washington currently says the older MyIR CIS remains acceptable and medically verified, but unlike the validated WAIIS CIS it may print vaccination dates that do not satisfy minimum-age or dose-interval rules. School or child-care staff must review those dates.

January 2026 WAIIS guidance

Which outside records can a Washington provider treat as medically verified?

Washington’s current guidance for documenting historical vaccinations says a healthcare provider can use clinical judgment to enter qualifying outside vaccination records into WAIIS.

Examples of official medical immunization records

Provider, clinic or hospital EHR record with official logo/header/stamp/signature
Official record from another U.S. state or territorial IIS
Official lifetime immunization record with provider or clinic stamp/signature
Verified hardcopy CIS with provider signature/stamp
Immigration or foreign lifetime immunization record with clinic/provider stamp or signature

Information the source record should contain

Source of the record
Patient name
Patient date of birth
Vaccine name
Month, day and year each vaccine was administered

Examples Washington says are not medically verified by themselves

Memory or verbal history
Oral or written reports without medical proof should not be entered as verified historical vaccination data.
Family vaccine list or baby book
A home-maintained list alone is not treated as medically verified evidence.
Unsigned lifetime card
A lifetime record that was not completed and signed by a healthcare provider is insufficient by itself.
Unverified handwritten CIS
A handwritten CIS without provider verification or qualifying attached medical documentation is not enough.
School recordkeeping-system printout
Washington’s historical-vaccination guidance says this is not automatically a medically verified source for WAIIS entry.

School Module shortcut

Some Washington schools do not need a separate CIS when WAIIS already shows COMPLETE

Washington DOH says a school actively using the WAIIS School Module can verify that a student’s immunizations are COMPLETE in the IIS and record that verification in the student’s school record.

If WAIIS shows COMPLETE

A separate CIS may not be required when the school is actively using the School Module for compliance work.

If the student is conditional or data is missing

A CIS is still needed for conditional students or when immunization information must be added to the IIS to complete the record.

School script
“Does your school actively use the WAIIS School Module, and does my child’s record currently show COMPLETE? If so, do you still need me to submit a separate CIS?”

CIS evidence of immunity

Provider-documented immunity can appear on the Washington CIS

Washington permits qualifying healthcare-provider documentation of immunity for certain school requirements. When evidence of immunity is entered into WAIIS, it can appear on the CIS as medically verified information.

Varicella example:
Provider-entered history of chickenpox disease or qualifying immunity information can populate from WAIIS and does not require another provider-verification signature on an IIS-generated CIS.
A home titer calculator cannot determine Washington school compliance.
The type of acceptable evidence depends on the disease, the current school requirements and provider documentation. Use the official school guidance and a healthcare professional.

School catch-up rules

Complete, Conditional and Not Complete mean different things

Washington school/child-care status and family action
Status Meaning What to do
COMPLETE The documented immunizations satisfy the applicable school or child-care requirements. Keep the accepted record on file and update it if the program requests newer documentation.
CONDITIONAL The child has received all currently eligible required doses and must wait until the next dose can validly be administered. The parent/guardian signs the conditional acknowledgment and tracks the next valid due date.
Next dose becomes due The minimum valid interval has ended. Provide updated qualifying documentation within 30 calendar days.
NOT COMPLETE Required documentation is missing and the conditional period is no longer satisfied. Contact the school or child-care program immediately; exclusion can apply.
Conditional status does not mean “30 days from the first day of school to get everything.”
Before starting in conditional status, the child must first have received every required dose they are currently eligible to receive.
Deadline script
“Please tell me whether the student’s status is COMPLETE, CONDITIONAL or NOT COMPLETE. If it is conditional, what is the next valid vaccination date and the final date by which updated documentation must be submitted?”

Child-care record maintenance

Children in child care may need an updated medically verified CIS every year

Washington’s current school/child-care guidance says children attending child care must submit an updated medically verified CIS annually.

Check for vaccinations given since the last CIS
Use MyIR Check for Updates
Correct missing provider doses first
Print a current CIS
Ask the program when its annual documentation is due
Keep the previous record as backup

Old, interstate and international records

How to add historical vaccinations that are not already in WAIIS

Washington’s January 2026 WAIIS guidance describes vaccinations received outside the current facility as historical vaccinations. A healthcare provider can review medically verified documentation and decide whether the information should be added to WAIIS.

Retrieve the best available official source record
Start with the original provider, pharmacy, another state IIS, military system or foreign medical record.
Make sure the document identifies the source
Look for an official provider logo, stamp, header or signature.
Confirm complete dates
The record should show month, day and year for each vaccine.
Give the record to a Washington healthcare provider
Ask the provider to review whether the documentation meets WAIIS standards for historical entry.
Allow the provider to use clinical judgment
Do not alter or recreate the outside document yourself.
Refresh MyIR afterward
Select Check for Updates after the provider has completed any accepted historical entries.
Keep the original source record
It may still be useful for school, college, employment, immigration or later correction questions.

MyIR multi-state access

MyIR can currently connect records from six participating states

Current MyIR help says users can connect to six participating state registries: Arizona, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Dakota and Washington.

Moved between those states?
The multi-state matching feature may save time when your identity and phone information match in each participating registry.
This is not a national vaccine database.
For a state that is not supported by MyIR’s current multi-state connections, use that jurisdiction’s own IIS or provider record process.

Pharmacy recovery

Check pharmacies separately when an adult vaccine is absent from MyIR

Washington DOH specifically lists local pharmacies as a record-retrieval option. Pharmacies can also be the strongest source when a vaccine was administered outside your primary-care office.

Exact pharmacy chain
Exact store/location
Account email
Phone number used for booking
Vaccine name
Approximate administration date
Appointment confirmation
Receipt when available
Ask for the complete vaccine administration record
Ask whether the vaccination was sent to WAIIS

Pharmacy script
“Please provide the complete vaccination administration history available for me from this pharmacy and confirm whether those doses were reported to the Washington State Immunization Information System.”

Adults and older records

Build an adult lifetime history from more than WAIIS alone

Best sources by adult use case
Need Check first Also check

COVID-only proof

Use WA Verify only when the task is COVID-19 digital proof

WA Verify is Washington’s separate SMART Health Card route for COVID-19 vaccination information.

Use WA Verify for

  • COVID-19 digital proof.
  • SMART Health Card format.
  • COVID-specific record sharing.

Frequently asked questions

Washington State vaccine record FAQs

How do I get my Washington State vaccine record online?

Start with MyIR Mobile. Create or sign in to your account, enter identifying information that matches WAIIS, complete phone verification and open the linked Immunizations area. If MyIR cannot provide the record, use your provider, pharmacy, child’s school or the Washington Department of Health record-request process.

Is MyIR the same as WAIIS?

No. WAIIS is Washington’s statewide immunization registry used by authorized healthcare, school and public-health users. MyIR is the consumer-facing portal used to access available registry information.

How many phone numbers can I try in MyIR?

Current MyIR guidance allows up to four possible phone numbers. The record-linking process checks all four, but at least one must match the number associated with the immunization-registry record.

What if the verification code goes to an old phone?

MyIR cannot redirect the registry-linking code to another number. Ask your healthcare provider or Washington records staff to verify the phone information stored in WAIIS, or use the official record-release route if necessary.

Can I get my child’s Washington vaccine record through MyIR?

Yes. Current MyIR guidance allows an adult account holder to add eligible children under age 18. A person age 18 or older needs their own account.

How long does a Washington DOH record request take?

Washington’s consumer record page currently says records are sent within five business days. The official July 2025 release form says records are usually sent within 3–5 business days and no later than 15 business days after receipt of the signed authorization. Use the 15-business-day outer limit for deadline planning.

Does the Washington release form accept an electronic signature?

No. The current Authorization to Release Immunization Records explicitly states that an electronic signature is not acceptable. The required patient or parent/legal-guardian signature must be handwritten.

Can I use a MyIR CIS for Washington school enrollment?

Yes. Washington currently accepts the CIS printed from MyIR as medically verified. The current MyIR CIS is an older version and can display vaccination dates that school staff must still review for minimum-age and interval validity.

What does Washington conditional school status mean?

Conditional status applies when a child has already received every required dose they are currently eligible to receive but must wait until another dose can validly be given. Once the next dose becomes due, updated qualifying documentation must be provided within 30 calendar days.

Can old or out-of-state vaccinations be added to WAIIS?

Yes, when appropriate. Washington’s current historical-vaccination guidance says a healthcare provider can review medically verified source documentation from another provider, state registry, official lifetime record, immigration record or other qualifying source and use clinical judgment about entering the historical vaccination into WAIIS.
