- the country where and the date when you were given the vaccine
- any overseas vaccinations that have been added to your health record based on records provided by the countries you received the vaccination in.

Official immunisation record
An official record of your vaccination information, which provides the batch number and date the vaccine was given, can be emailed to you. Request this online at My Health Record or by calling the Vaccination Healthline.
The information on your immunisation record comes from the Aotearoa Immunisation Register (AIR). All COVID-19 immunisations will appear on your record.
Read more about the Aotearoa Immunisation Register.
If other vaccines are missing from your record it may be because:
- They were given before the year 2005 when immunisations given weren't generally recorded on the national register. A record will be available from your healthcare providers clinic or wherever you received the vaccine.
- They were paid for privately and may not appear unless you asked your healthcare provider to add them to the national register.
You can correct or update any missing information on your immunisation record by contacting My Health Record. You can:
- use the My Health Record general enquiry form(external link)
- call the 0800 222 478 phone number
- email [email protected]
