Whether you’re registering your child for school, starting a new job, or preparing for a trip, there are plenty of reasons you might need a copy of your immunization records. But when the time comes, do you know where to find them?
Utah residents now have a convenient way to access their immunization records online through MyUtah, the state’s online portal for government services.
Your immunization records in one place
Healthcare providers across Utah report vaccination information to the Utah Statewide Immunization Information System, or USIIS. The system brings together vaccination records from different doctors, clinics, and pharmacies, making it easier to keep track of your immunization history.
Through MyUtah, residents can access available immunization records for themselves and their minor children, review vaccination histories, and download official records when needed.
One particularly helpful feature is the vaccine forecast, which uses the immunization history available in USIIS to show which vaccines may be due now or coming up next. This helps individuals and families plan ahead and discuss upcoming vaccinations with their healthcare providers.
Many Utahns may already be familiar with Docket as a way to access immunization records. Utah is now transitioning its state-supported service to MyUtah, giving residents a convenient way to access their vaccination information alongside other state services.
MyUtah also connects residents with services such as ordering birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificates; accessing hunting and fishing services; requesting medical examiner records; and finding their elected representatives.
How to access your records
Getting started is simple:
- Visit MyUtah.gov. Sign in using your UtahID account or create a new one.
- Review your immunization history and forecast. Access available vaccination records for yourself or your minor children and see which vaccines may be coming up next.
- Download and review your records. Save an official copy so you have it when you need proof of vaccination. Take a moment to check your vaccination history for any missing information.
What if a vaccine is missing from your record?
The immunization information you see in MyUtah comes directly from USIIS, which receives vaccination records from healthcare providers.
USIIS dates back to 1996 and continues to collect immunization information from providers across Utah. However, the system may not contain some older vaccinations, and not all healthcare providers have historically reported vaccinations to USIIS.
If a vaccination is missing from your record, it doesn’t necessarily mean you didn’t receive it.
Contact the healthcare provider who gave you the vaccine. They can help verify your vaccination history and update your record in USIIS. You can also contact your local health department or the Utah Immunization Program for additional assistance.
Because the vaccine forecast relies on the information available in USIIS, missing vaccinations may also affect which vaccines appear as due or recommended. Your healthcare provider can help review your vaccination history and determine which vaccines you may need.
Find your records before you need them
You don’t have to wait until you urgently need proof of vaccination to review your immunization history.
