How can I check what vaccinations my child has had?
We can only provide records for vaccinations that our service has given. We are not able to supply your child’s full vaccination history.
For a complete record of all vaccinations, please contact your child’s GP.
- Pre‑school vaccinations should also be written in your child’s Red Book.
- If your child received a school‑based vaccination within the last three years, you will have been sent an email from school.immunisations@nhs.net confirming which vaccine was given.
Your child’s COVID‑19 vaccination record can also be found on the NHS App.
The Child Health Information Service (CHIS) also holds vaccination records. You can contact them on 0300 561 1851 to request your child’s immunisation history.
Please be aware:
- Children under 16: CHIS can share immunisation details, but they are not a clinical service and cannot give medical advice. Please allow time for them to respond to your query. Your GP should be contacted for any clinical questions.
- Young people aged 16–19: CHIS cannot share records with parents or carers. The young person must contact CHIS or their GP themselves. GPs can also provide clinical advice, which CHIS cannot.
- Aged 20 and over: CHIS does not routinely hold vaccination information for people over 19. All requests should be made to the GP.
