A message from your Hawai‘i State Department of Health

The Hawai‘i Immunization Registry is a free service of the Hawai‘i State Department of

Health for people living in Hawai‘i. It is a secure computer system that stores and tracks

patient immunization records and makes them available to doctors, nurses, and other

healthcare workers.

How does the immunization registry work?

How does the immunization registry help you and your family?

How does the immunization registry help doctors and nurses?

Doctors and nurses can store information in

the registry. The information is used to make

sure your immunization records are up to date.

At minimum, this information will include:

• Your name

• Date of birth

• Gender

• Mailing address

• Immunization record

The registry helps make sure you:

• Don’t miss any immunizations or get

too many

• Have all of the immunizations needed to:

• Start day care, school, or college

• Sign-up for camp or sports programs

• Travel to other countries

• Prepare for hospital visits or

long-term care

The registry will help your doctor or nurse:

• Keep track of immunizations given by

your other doctors and nurses.

• Check which immunizations you need at

each visit.

• Print out an immunization record for you.
