What Are WAIIS and MyIR Mobile in Washington?
WAIIS means 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 SystemMyIR Mobile is the public route Washington DOH points families and adults to for online vaccine record access. When your registration information matches the state registry, MyIR may show immunization records, the Certificate of Immunization Status, and COVID-19 vaccination certificate access.

School and child care immunizationHow to Get Washington Vaccination Records Online Step by Step
Use this order because it starts with the fastest public route and then moves through the official backup routes that Washington DOH lists for families.
- Start on Washington DOH’s official record page. Use the DOH page before entering private information anywhere. It lists MyIR Mobile, provider/pharmacy, school, and Department of Health request routes.
- Register or sign in to MyIR Mobile. Use the person’s legal name, date of birth, phone number, email, and other details likely connected to the vaccine record. MyIR uses your registration details to match records with the Washington registry.
- Look for immunization history, CIS, and COVID certificate options. When the account matches the registry, you may be able to view or print available immunization records and school-related forms.
- Ask your provider, clinic, or pharmacy if MyIR does not match. Washington DOH says most health care providers in Washington use the Washington 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 office ahead of time. Washington DOH says all public schools and some private schools have access to WAIIS and may be able to print student immunization records if requested ahead of time.
- Use the DOH release form route if the other options do not work. The Department of Health can process an Authorization to Release Immunization Records form and send available records by mail, fax, or secure email.
- Check another state if the shots were not given in Washington. Vaccines from Oregon, Idaho, California, Texas, Florida, military care, another state, Puerto Rico, or another country may not automatically appear in WAIIS.
Washington DOH Release Form Route When MyIR Does Not Work
If you cannot get a complete immunization record from MyIR, your provider, pharmacy, or school, Washington DOH gives a Department of Health request route. You may be asked to provide identifying information such as name, date of birth, and address. DOH notes it may tell you whether a record exists by phone, but it does not release details over the phone to protect privacy.
Official page: Washington DOH family immunization information| DOH record request detail | Current Washington route | Practical note |
|---|---|---|
| Phone | 360-236-3595 or 1-866-397-0337 | Use for questions before sending private forms or if MyIR fails. |
| WAIISRecords@doh.wa.gov | Check the official DOH page before sending private documents. | |
| Fax | 360-236-3590 | Useful when submitting the signed release form by fax. |
| WAIIS, PO Box 47843, Olympia, WA 98504-7843 | Mail can be slower; keep a copy of what you send. | |
| Processing | DOH says records are sent within five business days after receiving the signed form. | Processing depends on a matching record existing in WAIIS. |
Washington CIS: Certificate of Immunization Status for School and Child Care
Washington schools and child care programs commonly use the Certificate of Immunization Status, called the CIS. Washington DOH explains that schools and child care programs use immunization requirements and forms that are updated from year to year. A CIS printed from the IIS is medically verified by the IIS, and no extra parent or healthcare provider verification signature is needed for that version.
Official school page: Washington school and child care immunization| Washington document | Used for | Who can help |
|---|---|---|
| CIS from MyIR Mobile | Family copy and school or child care proof when accepted. | Parent or guardian through MyIR when the account matches WAIIS. |
| Validated CIS from IIS | 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 automatically in WAIIS. | 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 vaccine dates written on a CIS. | Provider, clinic, hospital portal, another state registry, or official stamped record. |
WA Verify, MyIR Mobile and Washington COVID-19 Vaccination Records
WA Verify is Washington’s digital COVID-19 verification record tool. It can provide a SMART Health Card with COVID-19 vaccination record details when the information you enter matches a record in the Washington State Immunization Information System. It is useful for COVID-19 proof, but it is not the same thing as a full lifetime vaccine history.
Official COVID record tool: WA Verify| Tool | Best for | Important limit |
|---|---|---|
| MyIR Mobile | Immunization history, CIS, and COVID certificate access. | Must match WAIIS; older, out-of-state, or pharmacy-only records may be missing. |
| WA Verify | Digital COVID-19 vaccination record and SMART Health Card. | Not a full lifetime vaccination history tool. |
| Pharmacy app | COVID, flu, RSV, shingles, and pharmacy-administered vaccines. | 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. |
CVS, Walgreens, Costco, Safeway, Walmart, Fred Meyer 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 account or store pharmacy counter is often the fastest backup.
Washington DOH backup route: Request records from provider, clinic, pharmacy, school, or DOHCheck your CVS account and MinuteClinic record if the vaccine was given there.
Use the same phone number, email, and date of birth used at the appointment.
Call the pharmacy location directly if the record is not visible online.
Ask the pharmacy for a vaccine history if you used a grocery-store pharmacy.
Request pharmacy vaccine documentation from the store where the shot was given.
Check your pharmacy profile or call the local pharmacy for vaccine documentation.
Why Your Washington Vaccination Record May Be Missing or Wrong
A missing online record does not always mean you were not vaccinated. It may mean the vaccine was not reported, was reported under different personal details, was given in another state, was stored in a pharmacy profile, or was part of an older paper-only record.
Old record help: Tips for locating old immunization records| Problem | What it usually means | What to try next |
|---|---|---|
| MyIR no match | Your name, date of birth, phone, email, or address may not match WAIIS. | Try legal name, old last name, previous phone/email, then contact provider or DOH. |
| Duplicate profiles | Vaccine history may be split between two records. | Ask your provider or DOH if duplicate records may exist. |
| Out-of-state vaccine | Dose may be in Oregon, Idaho, California, Texas, Florida, or another state registry. | Use CDC’s IIS contact directory for the state where the shot was given. |
| Old doctor closed | Paper or provider-portal records may be with a successor clinic or medical records custodian. | Search the clinic name, call the health system, and ask WAIIS support if needed. |
| Military or VA vaccine | Record may be in federal or military health systems. | Check VA, TRICARE, base clinic, military medical records, and civilian WAIIS records. |
| Foreign vaccine record | Vaccine names and dates may need review or translation. | Bring the original record to a provider, school, employer, college, or civil surgeon. |
Local Washington Help: Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver, Bellevue and Yakima
Most Washington residents can start online, but local help matters when the record is missing, a school deadline is close, or the person does not use online accounts. Try MyIR first, then the provider, pharmacy, school office, local health jurisdiction, or Washington DOH record request route.
Official DOH route: Washington record access options| 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. |
| Vancouver / Clark County | Clark County Washington immunization records. | Check MyIR and any Oregon records if vaccines crossed the state line. |
| Bellevue / Eastside | Bellevue school CIS and provider vaccine record. | Use MyIR, pediatrician, health system portal, school office, or DOH request route. |
| Yakima | Yakima vaccine record and school immunization proof. | MyIR, clinic/pharmacy, school office, local health help, or DOH release form. |
Titer Tests When Washington Vaccine Records Are Lost
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 all. For employers, colleges, healthcare programs, and immigration medical exams, the organization asking for proof decides what it will accept.
School immunization page: Washington school and child care immunization| Situation | Titers may help with | Ask before paying |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare job | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, and program-specific requirements. | Ask occupational health which lab report format they accept. |
| Nursing or medical school | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, and clinical placement proof. | Ask whether positive IgG titers replace vaccine dates. |
| School or child care | Some documented immunity situations. | Ask school or child care staff which CIS documentation is accepted. |
| Immigration exam | Civil surgeon-reviewed vaccine proof. | Ask the civil surgeon before ordering labs. |
