Getting Immunization Records

How to Get Your Immunization Record

Oregon Immunization Providers:

You can get consolidated patient records by enrolling in the Oregon Immunization Information System, ALERT IIS.
As of May 11, 2023, My Electronic Vaccine Card (MEVC) can no longer be updated with new COVID-19 vaccine doses. The MEVC QR code that leads to your COVID-19 vaccination record will continue to work indefinitely. Other ways to prove your COVID-19 vaccination status include your white card (or photo of) with recorded doses, an electronic or paper record from your health care provider, or your vaccine record from the ALERT IIS (instructions below).

If you prefer to receive your record via secure email, put the desired recipient email in the email body or in a white space on the Record Request form.

Requests are processed in the order they are received and generally take 4-5 business days.  Please contact us at the ALERT IIS Help Desk, alertiis@odhsoha.oregon.gov, or 1-800-980-9431, if you need further assistance.





Children under 18 years of age

Parents or guardians may access their children's immunization record in several ways:

Contact your child's medical provider. They can print a copy of your child's record for you.

Talk to the staff of your child's school or daycare center. If you need a record for child care or school attendance, the staff may be able to print a Certificate of Immunization Status form from the state immunization information system that will meet the requirement for an immunization record.

If these options don't provide the information you need, parents or guardians may request a copy of their child's record from the state immunization information system (ALERT IIS).

Contact your medical provider. They may give you a copy from their records or from the state immunization information system.

Contact the most recent school you've attended. Public and charter schools are required to keep immunization records on file for three years or until a former student turns 21, whichever is longer. Private schools are required to keep immunization records for one year.

Contact your parent or guardian. If you need a record of the vaccines you received as a small child, your parent or guardian may have a copy of your childhood record.

If these options don't provide the information you need, you may request a copy of your record from the state immunization information system (ALERT IIS).

Opting Out

Children under 18 years of age

Children’s records may be sealed only in specific circumstances as specified by Oregon law. Parents or legal guardians must provide documentation of their child’s circumstances. Upon approval, the record will be sealed until the child reaches 18 years of age. At that point, the adult may request that their record be unsealed or with no action, the record will continue to be sealed.

Oregon law allows a child’s record to be sealed when:

  1. The child has a disease or condition that precludes administration of some or all vaccines; or,
  2. Concern exists that a third party could use the information in the record to locate the child, or other family members who reside with the child, and the parent or legal guardian reasonably believes there is a risk of harm if they are located.

The law requires that the request for sealing the child’s record be accompanied by a statement and evidence that supports the request. This evidence may include: 1) copies of police reports, restraining orders or other legal documents pertaining to the need for physical protection; or, 2) a licensed physician’s statement indicating a specific medical diagnosis that precludes immunization with some or all vaccine antigens.

Child Opt Out Form


Adults age 18 years and older

Adults age 18 years and older have the right to request that their record be either sealed, so authorized users cannot access it, or purged from the information system altogether. Records that are sealed can later be unsealed by the patient and they can be used in the case of a declared public health emergency. Purged records are deleted from the system. Purged information cannot be recovered.
