Where can I get a copy of my child’s vaccination records?

The National Immunisation Office does not hold vaccination records. The office does not have access to the vaccination records systems.

The primary childhood immunisation programme (vaccines given from birth to 13 months of age) is carried out in general practice. Your GP should have a copy of your child’s vaccination records for the vaccinations they have carried out. In addition, the records may be available from your local health office.

The school immunisation programme is carried out by the HSE school immunisation teams in most areas and the vaccination records will be held in your local health office. In a small number of areas the school vaccinations are carried out in general practice and records should be available through your GP or local health office.

The National Immunisation Office produces vaccination passports that you or the vaccinator can fill in so you can keep all your child’s records together.

Keep your vaccination passport safe as you may be asked to provide information about the vaccinations recieved when you are travelling or starting school/university or starting a new job.
