Immunizations
You never outgrow the need for vaccines. The specific immunizations you need as an adult or for a child are determined by factors such as your age, lifestyle, high-risk conditions, type and locations of travel, and previous immunizations. Immunizations can be obtained at our health centers for both children and adults.

You can now access your or your minor’s official immunization record through the secure Kentucky Immunization Registry (KYIR) Public Portal. KYIR Public Portal is a free service of the Kentucky Department for Public Health that allows individuals, parents and legal guardians to access official immunization records from KYIR.
The portal enables residents to access, save and share their vaccination records from KYIR, a web-based system where Kentucky health care providers are able to report vaccines they administer.
KYIR Public Portal users have many options to choose from once accessing the portal. Those options include the ability to download:
a .pdf copy of their immunization record
a school certificate for students younger than 18
a COVID-19 vaccine record as a .pdf file or SMART Health Card, which is a digital copy of your COVID-19 vaccine record that can be stored on your phone as a QR code.
