New online portal securely opens access to immunization records

A new online public portal from the Hawaiʻi Department of Health Immunization Branch offers a free, secure way for individuals, parents, and legal guardians to access, print, or download official immunization records.

The public portal is part of the Hawaiʻi State Immunization System (HiSIS), which launched in June. HiSIS is a secure, confidential, cloud-based environment that stores the immunization records of children and adults, as submitted by health care providers.

Immunization information systems help medical practices and other health care providers keep patients of all ages up to date on vaccinations. They also support health care providers and public health departments by collecting data on the immunization status of communities.

According to the Department of Health, the official record can serve as proof of immunization for school, daycare, work, or travel.

To access these records, visit the HiSIS Public Portal and submit a request by entering:

• First and last name
• Birthdate
• Gender
• Email address and/or mobile phone number

The email address or phone number entered must match what is listed on the patient’s HiSIS profile. If the information does not match, contact your health care provider or reach out to the Department of Health.

There is no cost to sign up or download your records.
