In New Jersey, vaccination records are in the New Jersey Immunization Information System (NJIIS). The state says you can see them online through "the myHealthNJ.com web portal and Docket® app" (NJDOH), or request a copy on paper with form IMM-46.
This page is about getting a copy of a record. It doesn't cover which vaccines anyone needs: ask your doctor or pharmacist about that.

Steps
- Try myHealthNJ.com or the Docket app (NJDOH). Online access works only for "someone that has access to the phone number or email address" on the record (NJIIS FAQ). That FAQ sits in the state's COVID-19 documents, so parts of it may be dated.
- If the app can't find you, the FAQ says to "consult with your healthcare provider" (NJIIS FAQ).
- Or mail form IMM-46 "with copies of official supporting documents" (NJDOH).
Older records and adult records
Children "born in New Jersey on or after January 1, 1998, are automatically enrolled" (NJDOH). Adults born before 1998 are in NJIIS only if they opt in. CDC's summary of the state's rules says "NJIIS requires explicit consent with opt-in by law" (CDC). The state warns "Adolescent and adult records may be incomplete" and "historical immunization data may exist only on paper-based records" (NJDOH). If your history is incomplete, it says to "contact your health care provider or submit an NJIIS Record Update Request Form" (NJDOH).
Questions people ask
Can I get my child's vaccination record online in New Jersey?
Yes. NJDOH says "Parents and guardians can conveniently retrieve their child’s records" online (NJDOH), as long as the record has a phone number or email you can access (NJIIS FAQ).
Is there a fee?
The state describes its online tool as "a free and secure tool for easily accessing personal and family immunization records" (NJDOH).
Why is my adult record missing?
Adults born before 1998 are in NJIIS only if they enrolled: "If you were born prior to 1998 and would like to enroll", ask at your provider's office (NJDOH).
Keep a copy
Once you have the record, save the PDF or a photo where you can find it before the next school, camp, or travel form, and keep a copy in your medical binder.
