Explanation of Medically Verified Immunization Records

All students must submit a medically verified immunization record. Federal Way Public Schools uses the Washington Immunization Information System (WAIIS), a lifetime immunization record, to monitor student immunization compliance. Only medically verified immunization records are accepted.

Medically verified immunization records include:

• Official lifetime immunization record with a provider stamp or signature.
• Official immigration immunization record.
• Immunization record printed from a healthcare provider, clinic, or hospital.
• Written immunization record with a provider stamp or signature.
• Immunization record printed from the Washington Immunization Information System (WA IIS).

Access your family's immunization information and Certificate of Immunization form through the Department of Health website MyIR (doh.wa.gov). You will need to set up an account to access the information. You can also call or email DOH office WAIISRecords@doh.wa.gov or 1-866-397-0337.
