Access Vaccination Certificates in VAMS

About Vaccination Certificates

• Please note that if your vaccinations have not been scheduled and administered through VAMS, the system won’t be able to provide you with a vaccination certification or vaccine verification QR code at this time. If your vaccinations have been scheduled and administered through VAMS and you are having trouble acquiring your vaccine certificate, please reach out to your jurisdiction POC.
• A vaccination certificate is created in VAMS after a healthcare professional logs a COVID-19 vaccine dose for a recipient in VAMS.
• The certificate will include information about the date(s) of vaccine administration, vaccine manufacturer, lot number, and clinic name.
• After the recipient receives the required number of vaccine dose(s) to complete the vaccination schedule, the certificate can serve as a recipient’s vaccination record documented in VAMS.
• Recipients can access their vaccination certificate in the Recipient Portal at any time.
• Select clinic users can also access vaccination certificates in VAMS depending on their assigned role(s) in the system. Clinic user access is noted under each section sub header in this document. A user’s clinic type (standard and mobile or third party) will dictate how the clinic users can access vaccination certificates in VAMS.

NOTE: Clinics are still required to provide a completed COVID-19 vaccination record card to every vaccine recipient/parent/guardian.
