Adults can order immunization records for themselves or their children through Maryland MyIR Mobile. MyIR™ stands for My Immunization Record, a public portal that can securely pull vaccination records from ImmuNet, Maryland’s Immunization Information System (IIS). All users must be 18 years or older. Once registered with MyIR Mobile, adults will be able to obtain official vaccination records for daycare, camps, schools, employment or travel, if they or their children were vaccinated in the State of Maryland.
Eligibility requirements for available vaccines:
Adults: 19 and older
Children: 2 months to 18
How to participate:
Call 240-313-3210 to schedule an appointment.
What to bring:
- Up-to-date immunization record
- Insurance information (if insured)
- Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
How long does it take
Adults: Visits are usually no longer than 30 minutes.
Children: The length of the visit may vary depending on the number of vaccines required and the immunization history available. Visits may take up to an hour or longer.
Cost:
Adults:
There is a cost for the administration fee and the vaccine received. The costs of vaccines are on a sliding scale which is based on your income.
Children and Adolescents:
Vaccines for Children Program (VFC): Children through 18 years of age who meet at least one of the following criteria are eligible to receive VFC vaccines. There is an administration fee charged for each vaccine but the vaccine is free.
- Medicaid eligible: A child who is eligible for the Medicaid program. (For the purposes of the VFC program, the terms “Medicaid-eligible” and “Medicaid-enrolled” are equivalent and refer to children who have health insurance covered by a state Medicaid program).
- Uninsured: A child who has no health insurance coverage.
- American Indian or Alaska Native: As defined by the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (25 U.S.C. 1603).
- Underinsured: A child who has commercial (private) health insurance but the coverage does not include vaccines, a child whose insurance covers only selected vaccines (VFC-eligible for non-covered vaccines only), or a child whose insurance caps vaccine coverage at a certain amount. Once that coverage amount is reached, the child is categorized as underinsured.
Non-VFC Eligible Children: Children whose health insurance covers the cost of vaccinations are not eligible for VFC vaccines. The health department will bill the insurance for the administration fee and the cost of the vaccine. Parents/Guardians are responsible for any costs not covered by insurance, such as deductibles and/or copays.
