Immunization Records
Learn how to get immunization records and how to provide immunization records to the B.C. Provincial Immunization Registry.
Accessing your immunization records
Anyone 12 years and older can access their personal health records, including immunization, in one place: Health Gateway. It's accessible through the BC Services Card app. Parents with children 11 years and younger can add their child as a dependent in Health Gateway to see their immunization history.
If you have lost your immunization records, by registering for Health Gateway you will be able to access, download and print a copy of your digital immunization record anytime.
Signing up for Health Gateway is quick and easy using your mobile BC services card. Visit www.healthgateway.gov.bc.ca for more details on how to sign up.
For tips on finding immunization records see visit HealthLinkBC's Vaccine records webpage.
Keeping immunization records
Vaccine or immunization records provide a history of all the vaccines you or your child have received. It's important to have an up-to-date record for school or employment in the Interior Health region so we can:
- Respond effectively to disease outbreaks in schools or facilities
- Recommend immunizations you or your child may be missing
- Provide the best care for you or your child through our public health programs
Keep current immunization records in a safe place. They may be needed at various times such as registering for daycare, summer camp, college or university and sometimes for travel.
Updating your immunization records
If you have received immunizations outside of B.C. or if your immunization record on Health Gateway is incorrect, submit or update your immunization record for the B.C. Provincial Immunization Registry at www.immunizationrecord.gov.bc.ca
