COVID-19 Vaccination

For the best protection against COVID-19, stay up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines. This means getting the most current COVID-19 vaccine when you are eligible. All people ages 6 months and older are eligible for COVID-19 vaccination.

CDC also recommends that people ages 65 and older receive an additional 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine dose at least four months after a previous dose of the 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine.

Vaccine Record Lookup

As of April 30, you will no longer be able to get your COVID-19 vaccine record on the 401Health app or portal.ri.gov

You may find your COVID-19 vaccine record through the patient portal of your primary care office or of the pharmacy or healthcare facility that gave you your vaccine. If you do not have access to a patient portal, contact one of those places to request a copy of your COVID-19 vaccine record. The Rhode Island Department of Health does not provide copies of immunization records directly to members of the public.

Get a digital copy of your COVID-19 vaccine record on your phone by downloading the 401Health App.

Rhode Islanders can get a digital copy of their vaccination card with a QR code on it. When you travel to other states and countries or go to businesses or venues that require proof of vaccination, you can show your record with your QR code. The QR code can be scanned to prove your record is authentic. To get this digital record, download the 401Health app. In the app, select “My COVID-19 Vaccine Record.” Next, select “Add a COVID-19 Vaccination Record.” Follow the prompts to download your record.

You can also get a copy of your record through portal.ri.gov/VaccineRecord.

From this website, you can search for and print proof of your COVID-19 vaccination. Please note that only people who have gotten their COVID-19 vaccination in Rhode Island will be able to look up their vaccination record online.  

If you can’t find your record, or if you live in Rhode Island but were vaccinated outside of Rhode Island, please complete and submit an RICAIR COVID-19 Immunization Record Correction Request Form.

If you need to correct anything in your vaccination record, please fill out and submit the RICAIR COVID-19 Immunization Record Correction Request Form.
