My Vaccine Pass / Health Records: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access your digital vaccination records through the national health system in New Zealand.
This scheme provides you with a digital record of your vaccinations to keep your health information accessible and verified.
Who it's for
This service is intended for all citizens in New Zealand. It is designed to ensure that individuals have a reliable way to access their own medical history regarding immunizations.
What you get
You receive a digital record of your vaccinations. This record serves as a formal, digital confirmation of your vaccination status, allowing you to have your health history available in a portable format.
What it costs you
There is no fee for this service. It is entirely free to use via My Health Record. You do not need to pay any government agency or service provider to access or view these specific digital health records.
The catch to know
The most common issue users face is a data mismatch. Because vaccination information is often recorded at a local level, there can sometimes be a discrepancy between the records held at your local pharmacy and the information stored in the central database. If your digital record does not appear to be correct or up to date, it may be due to these different systems not being perfectly synchronized.
How to apply
- Log in to the My Health Record system.
- Locate the section for vaccination records.
- Review your information to ensure it matches your personal history.
- If you notice any mismatches, contact your local provider to ensure your pharmacy records are updated.
