Staying up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines helps you have the best protection against severe illness, hospitalization, and death.

COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective, and widely available.

To find COVID-19 vaccine locations near you: Search Vaccines.gov, text your ZIP code to 438829, or call 1-800-232-0233.

When are you up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines?

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) continues to recommend the current COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy and for every person 6 months and older to protect from serious COVID-19 illness and to prevent spreading it to others. The number of doses needed to be up to date with your COVID-19 vaccine depends on many different factors including:

  • Your age.
  • The number of prior COVID-19 vaccine doses received.
  • Certain medical conditions.

Talk to your health care provider about what being up to date on your COVID-19 vaccine means for you. COVID-19 vaccine recommendations will be updated as needed.

Visit Stay Up to Date with COVID-19 Vaccines | CDC to learn more about the COVID-19 vaccine recommendations.

How to check your vaccine records

Electronic vaccination records

If you received your vaccination in Wisconsin, an electronic copy of your vaccination record is available on the Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR). You can access WIR through any web browser and save the electronic copy to your computer or mobile device. Parents and caregivers can also search vaccination records for their children or dependents under 18.

Select the following links to access the WIR immunization records portal.

Unable to locate your vaccination record in WIR?

If you are unable to locate your vaccine record in WIR or do not have the information needed to search, fill out the Wisconsin Immunization Registry Record Release Authorization, F-02487 (PDF) and have your records sent to you.

Got your COVID-19 vaccine in another state?

If you received your vaccination in another state, go to that state department of health’s website to search their vaccine registry.
