PIERS Public Portal

It is possible that we do not have a record for you or your dependent in the registry or that your immunization provider did not report your phone number or email address to the registry. Please complete the PIERS Immunization Record Update Request form and a member of the PIERS team will reach out with further information.

Your immunization provider may not have reported the immunization administration. Only pharmacies and Vaccines for Children Program providers are required to report immunization administrations to PIERS. Reporting to PIERS started in the early 2000s, immunization records before then have likely not been reported to PIERS.

There are several places that you can look to find your missing records:

• Ask your parents/caregivers for records of your childhood immunizations.
• Look through baby books and documents from your childhood.
• Check with previous employers that may have required immunizations.
• Check with your previous and current health care or immunization providers. 

There is no national database for immunization records—only the copies you, or your parents, received and those kept by the clinic where you received the immunization. If you can’t find your immunization records, talk to your health care provider to determine how best to protect yourself from certain diseases.

Immunization providers in all Pennsylvania counties except Philadelphia report to PIERS. Immunization providers in Philadelphia report to PhilaVax. Please contact PhilaVax at philavax@phila.gov for questions regarding immunizations received in Philadelphia.

Please visit the CDC’s Contacts for IIS Immunization Records website for more information on how to contact the jurisdiction where you received your immunizations. 

Pharmacies and Vaccines for Children Program providers are required to report immunization administrations to PIERS. In addition, other immunization providers are encouraged to submit immunization administration data to PIERS on a voluntary basis. 

• Bring your or your child’s immunization record to every immunization appointment to avoid missing or repeating immunizations, and to document new immunizations.
• Take a photo after each update and store your records in a plastic sleeve in a safe location.
• Store a backup copy with your important documents.
• Ask your immunization provider to add them to the Pennsylvania Immunization Electronic Registry System (PIERS).

If an adult over 18 is not able to access their record through the PIERS Public Portal, legal guardians will be able to receive their record once an Authorization for Release of Immunizations Records form is completed. Please allow a minimum of 10 business days for fulfillment of your immunization record request.

An Authorization for Release of Immunizations Records form can be completed. Please allow a minimum of 10 business days for fulfillment of your immunization record request.

If immunizations were not reported to the Pennsylvania Immunization Registry, the Date Next Due column will show a past date in red even if you are up to date on an immunization series.
