What documents provide proof of vaccination?
There are 2 documents available in My Health Record that provide proof of vaccination:
- A complete immunisation history statement shows all the immunisations you’ve had that are on the AIR, including COVID-19 vaccinations.
- A COVID-19 and influenza immunisation history statement shows only your COVID-19 and influenza vaccinations.
Your vaccination provider must report your vaccination information to the AIR before it will show on your immunisation history statements.
