This is a sponsored post brought to you by MyIR (My Immunization Records). All opinions are my own.
People say time flies when you have kids. “The days are long, but the years are short.” Those words ring so true with me lately. I have had so many days as a stay at home mom that have brought me to tears of frustration, I never thought I would have time to myself.
But now it has begun. Next year, my daughter will be in school. Already. She’ll be in Kindergarten for the entire day. And I am not ready.
We’ve chosen her school. And now I just have to make it official. I have filled out the paperwork. Which was a pain, by the way.
The last thing on my list was to get her immunization records.
I was fortunate to have recently been contacted by a company that can help me with that part of my paperwork.
MyIR (My Immunization Records) is now available in Washington state.
If you’re a resident of Washington, getting your immunization records online couldn’t be easier. [Tweet “If you’re a resident of WA, getting your #immunizationrecords online couldn’t be easier. “]
All you do is go to the MyIR website to register. Tell your healthcare provider that you registered with MyIR, then you have access to your immunization records online. All the time.
Your kid changing schools? No problem. Traveling over seas? It’s all right there. Changing healthcare providers? Done. Are you in charge of an elderly parent? A few clicks and you’re covered.
They’ve made it so easy to review, download, and print your family’s official immunization records all from the comfort of your home…or office…or while you’re on vacation…so anywhere you can get online.
I personally need it for myself because I cannot for the life of me remember if I got the flu shot this year or not. With stuff like that, I get serious mommy brain.
When it comes to anything online, it’s also nice to know it’s secure. A word from MyIR:
Your MyIR password ensures only you have access to your family’s records. And, none of your immunization information is stored within the program—your account simply allows you to access records that are stored in your state’s immunization registry.
Now that I have everything I need, I just have to turn in my sweet little girl’s paperwork. I’m thinking that may prove to be the hardest part of this whole process….well, until the first day of school.

Very interesting! I can see how handy having access to that online would be. And I agree….i NEVER remember what immunizations I’ve had or when.
April 6, 2016 at 5:24 pmI can’t believe your daughter is ready for kindergarten! wow.
Yes, it’s pretty cool-I’m excited to have easy access! I know!! I can’t believe it…I am just not ready!!
April 6, 2016 at 5:35 pmOmg how awesome you can get records online in WA! I’m going to have to see if they do this in NY. eveeything is easier online
April 6, 2016 at 5:38 pmIt seriously is way easier! They might have it in NY, you can check though the link in my post, when you register, it has you pick your state.
April 6, 2016 at 5:43 pmThat’s really interesting that it can be available online. Is it required in the US to be immunized before school? Here it is recommended but not mandatory. C is going to Kindergarten too in the Fall. I’m terrified!
April 6, 2016 at 5:59 pmIt is mandatory, but people are able to get out of it. He is?! I thought he was younger than Z!! Man, I am not ready!!
April 6, 2016 at 6:03 pmOh this is awesome!! I really hope they get this system near me. As a former teacher, I know it would make things so much easier all around.
April 6, 2016 at 6:15 pmOh, yes! You would definitely know! I know there are a few more states on it, but I’m not positive which ones.
April 6, 2016 at 6:17 pmGlad to hear its online, that makes it so much easier, and handier. I would never have guessed there would be so much paper work involved with sending kids to school or that one had to send immunization records. I wonder if its the same here in Canada.
April 6, 2016 at 8:09 pmSo much easier!! Not sure about Canada…
April 6, 2016 at 8:12 pmIt’s about time things like these where accessible online. We pretty much live on our computers.
April 6, 2016 at 8:43 pmThat’s so convenient! Great idea for camps…I feel like I’m constantly having to provide these records to each and every camp my kids go to!
