Get a copy of your immunisation record
You may find it useful to have a copy of the immunisation record for you or your tamariki (children). For example, for school enrolment, B4 School Checks, boarding school or halls of residence, employment checks or when travelling overseas. If you have completed your My Health Account identity checks to allow you to fully access My Health Record, this may be the easiest way to get a copy.
