How to request your immunization records.
A person without a written immunization record, or proof of having had disease, is considered unimmunized and unprotected.
Where can I get my immunization records?
When you get an immunization in B.C., a paper record is provided to you. B.C. residents can view all of the immunizations that public health has on file for them online through Health Gateway. Anyone 12 years of age and older can create an account to view their health information. Children 11 years of age and younger can be added to a parent or caregiver’s account.

If you are missing paper records and/or your vaccination record is incomplete in Health Gateway, you can request a copy of your record in the following ways:
For vaccines provided by Fraser Health Public Health
Request your or your child’s immunization records by completing the Request for Information form.
-
Please return the completed form by fax, or drop it off at your local public health unit. Health unit fax numbers and addresses are available by clicking on the health unit name.
-
If you requested to pick up the record you will be phoned when it is ready.
-
Allow up to 30 days for a response. We may be unable to process same-day requests from drop ins.
Please note: If a minor provided consent for immunization only that minor can request a copy of their immunization record
For vaccines provided by other health care providers
If your immunizations were provided by another health care provider, contact that provider.
If you have moved to B.C. from out of province or country and do not have a copy of your immunization records, try to get your immunization records sent to you. It is important to report immunization records of children 18 years and younger to Public Health.
Getting your immunization records takes a few steps but it is a worthwhile process.
