Immunization Records: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to access your centralized vaccination record to keep track of your immunizations across Canada.

This system provides a centralized way to track your vaccinations and maintain an official history of your immunizations.

Who it's for

This record is available to all residents. Whether you are a long-term resident or a newcomer, the system is designed to ensure that every resident can maintain a history of their vaccinations.

What you get

You get a centralized record of your vaccinations. This documentation acts as a formal vaccination record, providing you with a clear history of the immunizations you have received. Having this centralized information is helpful for maintaining your health history and providing proof of immunization when required for work, travel, or school.

What it costs you

This service is free. While the information is tracked at a national level to help maintain public health standards, the actual management and administration of these records are handled provincially. You do not need to pay a fee to have your immunization history recorded or tracked.

The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is that digital systems do not always sync perfectly between different provinces or territories. Because management is handled provincially, there can be gaps when moving between regions or when different systems attempt to communicate. Because of this, you should always keep a physical copy of your vaccination record to ensure you have immediate, reliable access to your medical history regardless of your location or the status of digital databases.

How to apply

  1. Identify your current province or territory of residence.
  2. Contact your provincial or territorial health authority to request access to your immunization history.
  3. Once you receive your records, verify that all your recent vaccinations are listed correctly.
  4. Print or photocopy your record to maintain a physical copy for your personal files.
