Access your vaccine records

You can register at https://wa.myir.net/register/ to view or print your child’s immunization records, including the Certificate of Immunization Status (CIS) form required for school and child care entry.

If this record says “COMPLETE”, then your child is up to date on vaccines for their age and you can submit this directly to their school.

Students with summer birthdays will have less time to get vaccinated before the start of school. Please contact our office at 253-383-5777or submit a MyChart appointment request to schedule your child’s annual well visit or an immunization visit before the school year starts.
