How to Find Your Child’s Immunization Records Online in Ontario (2025 Guide)

Why Immunization Records Matter

Keeping track of your child’s vaccination history isn’t just about meeting school requirements—it’s about protecting their health and your peace of mind.

Whether you need proof of immunization for:

• 📚 School or daycare registration

• 🧳 Travel

• 🏥 Medical records and emergency care

• 🧼 Public health reporting

…having fast, secure online access to your child’s immunization records in Ontario can save time and stress.

📊 The World Health Organization estimates that between 3.5 - 5 million lives are saved each year through routine immunizations alone which prevent diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, influenza and measles. (WHO, 2024)

Below is a simple step-by-step guide to finding your child’s records online, plus a smart way to store them securely with Syncara.

Step-by-Step: How to Access Your Child’s Immunization Records Online in Ontario

1. 🏢 Check Through Your Local Public Health Unit

If your child’s records aren’t available online, you can:

• Visit your local public health unit’s website

• Log in or request records by filling out a secure form

• Contact their immunization office by phone or email

👉 Find your local unit through Ontario.ca

Tip: If your child was vaccinated outside Ontario or Canada, you may need to upload official documentation to your local unit.

2. 🏥 Request Records from Your Child’s Doctor

Your child’s primary care provider or pediatrician typically keeps their immunization history. If you can’t find records through public health:

• Call your doctor’s office

• Request a printout or digital copy

• Ask them to submit missing information to your health unit

This is especially useful for children who received private vaccines not part of the publicly funded schedule.

3. 📲 Save & Organize Records in a Secure Personal Health App (Like Syncara)

Once you have the records, don’t stop there. Keeping them in a single, secure, and easy-to-access place can save future headaches - especially during travel, emergencies, or school transitions.
