Why do I need to update my vaccination record?
- If you have an upcoming appointment, we are asking all patients to bring their vaccine card to their next medical appointment. While it is not required for care, it is helpful to make sure the information we have is accurate and up to date. If you were vaccinated at The Ohio State Univeristy Wexner Medical Center, you can view your vaccination record in your MyChart account. If you don't have a MyChart account, sign up now.
- If you're getting a COVID-19 vaccine at a Wexner Medical Center location you'll be asked to provide information about previous doses received.
- If you received a vaccine at Wexner Medical Center, or one of our Community Connect affiliate organizations that use MyChart, the vaccine information should automatically appear in your account. Log in to make sure the details listed are correct.
- If you received a vaccine at another organization or location, such as a pharmacy or public health department, your information may not appear in MyChart automatically. Please log in and update it online. MyChart will check with the Ohio Department of Health’s records and return results to add to your account. If the system doesn't find your information, you'll be prompted to manually enter your information to have it reconciled by an Ohio State clinician.
