📋 Did you know you can now access your vaccine records online from the state registry?

Kansas has an immunization registry at myvaccinerecord.ks.gov where you can view vaccine history that was entered at the time of service.

✅ Pediatric Partners patients: We submit your vaccination records to the Kansas registry, so your history from our office should be there!

✅ Imported records: If we brought vaccine records from another provider into your chart, those were submitted too.

⚠️ Heads up: Vaccines given at other clinics or pharmacies may not appear unless that provider also reports to the registry — so the record may not be complete.

Visit 👉 myvaccinerecord.ks.gov to get started.

On the left, white and orange text reads: “Need Immunization Records? Kansas Vaccine Portal Now Available! Kansas residents can now access their vaccine records from the state registry.” Bullet points explain that Pediatric Partners submits vaccines given in their office, imported vaccines are also submitted, and vaccines from other providers may not appear unless reported to the registry.
