ADHS’ Vaccine Look Up Tool – AZ MyIR
With employer-based mandates kicking in and as folks approach the 6-8 month mark post their initial COVID-19 vaccine, it will be more and more important for folks to be able to access their vaccination records.
Fortunately, several years ago (back when I was with ADHS), we put together a tool so that parents could look up their kid’s vaccination records without going to the pediatrician to get a copy. It’s called MyIRMobile. The idea was to provide a tool so that parents could save time and money by accessing your records at home for free. The tool is supposed to allow you to print out official immunization certificates to turn in to your child’s school or summer camp or whatever.
State law (ARS 36-135) requires vaccinators of children to input the data in to Arizona’s vaccine registry (called ASIIS), so the data in the system for kids should be fairly complete (for vaccines given in Arizona). Adult data is also in the registry and can be accessed by MyIR, but the data may not be as complete because while pharmacists are required to submit data into ASIIS, other providers are not.
However, all COVID-19 vaccine data should be in the system for both kids and adults because Executive Order 2020-57 requires all vaccinators to submit every dose of the COVID-19 vaccines.
I went into the system to check on my family’s records and was stymied. For a few days the system just gave me a message back that my ‘records will become available once my profiles are linked to the Arizona registry’. A few days later I got a request asking for my consent to link to ASIIS. I did that this morning. I’ll update this post later if I’m actually able to get my family’s vaccine records.
Technical assistance is also available, select this HELP link for General Information on MyIR Mobile, Frequently Asked Questions, User Guides or Chat. The Service Desk hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
October 26, 2021 Update: It took about a week, but my records did sync and it’s a reasonably good record of my immunization history. I also discovered that I forgot to get my Shingles booster… and the system is correct about that.
