FAQ’s

Q:  How do I access my vaccine records?

A:  When you receive your vaccination, you should be given a CDC- COVID-19 vaccination card, which serves as a vaccination record.  

 As of August 2021, patients can access their Covid-19 Vaccine records by using CT WiZ   Immunization Public Portal, a free service provided by the CT DPH Immunization  Program. Click here to go the CT WiZ Portal.

Note:

• • If you search CT WiZ and your information is not found, you can contact the State Immunization Program at:  Helpdesk Form or phone: 860-509-7929.
  • If you received your vaccine out of state, it will not be reflected in CT WiZ at this time.

 If you lost your card and do not have a VAMS account, contact the state of Connecticut to request your Official Immunization Certificate.

Q:  What happens if I lose my vaccine card?

A:  If you were vaccinated in the state of Connecticut at a place other than a hospital or pharmacy, there’s a good chance that you created a VAMS account to schedule your appointment.  If this is you, you can log on to your VAMS account at any time to print a digital copy of your COVID-19 vaccination record.

According to the State of Connecticut, if you have lost your vaccine card, you can:

• Contact your vaccination provider to get another, or
• If you have an account, log into VAMS and view or download your Certificate of COVID-19 Vaccination (click here for instructions),* or
• Call (860) 509-7929 to request your Official Immunization Certificate. from the CT Immunization Information System (CT WiZ) at the Department of Public Health. Vaccination providers are required to report COVID-19 vaccinations to CT WiZ.

The CDC vaccine card, your provider’s portal record, VAMS certificate, and the CT WiZ official immunization record are all acceptable forms of proof of your COVID-19 vaccination.
