SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WMBD) –The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) is launching a new immunization portal, Vax Verify, that will allow Illinois residents 18 years and older to check their COVID-19 vaccination record.\u00a0
\u201cAs more businesses, events, organizations, and others require proof of vaccination, Illinois residents will be able to confirm using Vax Verify that they have been vaccinated for COVID-19,\u201d said IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike.  \u201cWith the current surge in cases, more people are making the decision to get a COVID-19 vaccine and this new tool will aid residents in confirming their vaccination where needed.\u201d
Illinois State Fair concert goers with tickets for the grandstand track area (also known as Standing Room Only) are required to provide a print or digital copy of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test within the previous 72 hours.\u00a0 Ticket holders can register in Vax Verify to check their immunization records for documentation of COVID-19 vaccination.\u00a0
The verification system follows best practices to protect confidential health information.\u00a0 In order to download proof of vaccination, residents will go through a brief, one-time identity verification process to gain access to their immunization history.\u00a0
The State of Illinois utilizes Experian\u00ae as its identity verification service provider.\u00a0 Individuals who have placed a freeze on their credit will need to unfreeze their credit with Experian\u00ae and wait 24 hours before completing the registration process.\u00a0 After completing registrations, individuals can re-freeze their credit by contacting Experian\u00ae.\u00a0
After the verification process, individuals can see their own record in the Illinois Comprehensive Automated Immunization Registry Exchange (I-CARE). 
Immunization records are kept confidential and only the individual can access their vaccination history.  Parents should talk with their child\u2019s provider to confirm their vaccination status.  Some individuals with very common names will need to take additional steps to securely prove their identities.
