Mar. 4, 2026 For Health Care Providers Guidance on how to locate, download, and print vaccination certificates in the VAMS system. About Vaccination Certificates Please note that if your vaccinations have not been scheduled and administered through VAMS, the system will not be able to provide you with a vaccination certification or vaccine verification QR code at this time. If your vaccinations have been scheduled and administered through VAMS and you are having trouble acquiring your vaccine certificate, please reach out to your jurisdiction POC for assistance. A vaccination certificate is created in VAMS after a healthcare professional records a COVID-19 vaccine dose for a recipient in VAMS. The certificate will include information about the date(s) of vaccine administration, vaccine manufacturer, lot number, and clinic name. After the recipient receives the required number of vaccine dose(s) to complete the vaccination schedule, the certificate can serve as a recipient's vaccination record documented in VAMS. Recipients can access their vaccination certificate in the Recipient Portal at any time. Select clinic users can also access vaccination certificates in VAMS depending on their assigned role(s) in the system. Clinic user access is noted under each section sub header in this document. A user's clinic type (standard and mobile or third party) will dictate how the clinic users can access vaccination certificates in VAMS. Key Considerations: The recipient’s vaccination certificate only reflects the dose(s) documented in VAMS. VAMS automatically updates vaccination certificates if healthcare professionals make applicable edits to the recipient vaccination records in VAMS. Standard and Mobile Clinics During a Vaccination Appointment Healthcare Professionals After clicking Submit on the final screen of the vaccine administration flow, an alert will appear, notifying you when the recipient is eligible to receive their next dose of COVID-19 vaccine, if applicable. To View the vaccination certificate, click the Hyperlinked Text on the Confirmation page. To generate a PDF of and/or print the vaccination certificate, click the Print icon. After a Vaccination Appointment – Option 1 Healthcare Professionals Click Search Past Vaccinations on the Recipient Management tab Search for the recipient using one of two search options: Enter one of these fields: email address or VAMS ID, OR Enter all these fields: first name, last name, and date of birth. Once you've found the correct recipient, click their Name in the Search Results table to advance to the recipient record. NOTE : Clicking View Record will take you to the vaccination record. To view the vaccination certificate, click the Hyperlinked Text in the Appointment Selection section below the recipient's date of birth. To generate a PDF of and/or print the vaccination certificate, click the Print icon. After a Vaccination Appointment – Option 2 Users with both Clinic Administrator and Healthcare Professional roles assigned in VAMS Click the Clinic Data tab. Under Vaccination Administration Report , click the Time Frame needed to access your desired recipient record. NOTE : Once in the Vaccination Administration Report, you can edit your time frame by clicking the Filter icon, Date Administered , then changing the range to your desired time frame. Click the View Details link within the recipient record you want to access. Once in the recipient record, click View Vaccination Certificate . To generate a PDF of and/or print the vaccination certificate, click the Print icon. Third-Party Clinics During a Vaccination Appointment Healthcare Professionals After clicking Submit on the final screen of the vaccine administration flow, an alert will appear, notifying you when the recipient is eligible to receive their next dose of COVID-19 vaccine, if applicable. To access the vaccination certificate, Click the Hyperlinked Text on the Confirmation page. To generate the PDF of and/or print the vaccination certificate, click the Print icon. After a Vaccination Appointment Healthcare Professionals On the Recipient Management tab, click the Recipient Record you want to access. Once in the recipient record, click View Vaccination Certificate . To generate the PDF of and/or print the vaccination certificate, click the Print icon.

# Access Vaccination Certificates in VAMS Mar. 4, 2026 For Health Care Providers ## Purpose Guidance on how to locate, download, and print vaccination certificates in the VAMS system. ![Data visualization over an image of a woman using a smart phone and laptop](https://www.cdc.gov/vams/images/covid-vac-reporting-banner.jpg) ## About Vaccination Certificates - Please note that if your vaccinations have not been scheduled and administered through VAMS, the system will not be able to provide you with a vaccination certification or vaccine verification QR code at this time. If your vaccinations have been scheduled and administered through VAMS and you are having trouble acquiring your vaccine certificate, please reach out to your jurisdiction POC for assistance. - A vaccination certificate is created in VAMS after a healthcare professional records a COVID-19 vaccine dose for a recipient in VAMS. - The certificate will include information about the date(s) of vaccine administration, vaccine manufacturer, lot number, and clinic name. - After the recipient receives the required number of vaccine dose(s) to complete the vaccination schedule, the certificate can serve as a recipient's vaccination record documented in VAMS. - Recipients can access their vaccination certificate in the Recipient Portal at any time. - Select clinic users can also access vaccination certificates in VAMS depending on their assigned role(s) in the system.

Mar. 4, 2026 For Health Care Providers Guidance on how to locate, download, and print vaccination certificates in the VAMS system. ![Data visualization over an image of a woman using a smart phone and laptop](https://www.cdc.gov/vams/images/covid-vac-reporting-banner.jpg) ## About Vaccination Certificates - Please note that if your vaccinations have not been scheduled and administered through VAMS, the system will not be able to provide you with a vaccination certification or vaccine verification QR code at this time. If your vaccinations have been scheduled and administered through VAMS and you are having trouble acquiring your vaccine certificate, please reach out to your jurisdiction POC for assistance. - A vaccination certificate is created in VAMS after a healthcare professional records a COVID-19 vaccine dose for a recipient in VAMS. - The certificate will include information about the date(s) of vaccine administration, vaccine manufacturer, lot number, and clinic name. - After the recipient receives the required number of vaccine dose(s) to complete the vaccination schedule, the certificate can serve as a recipient's vaccination record documented in VAMS. - Recipients can access their vaccination certificate in the Recipient Portal at any time. - Select clinic users can also access vaccination certificates in VAMS depending on their assigned role(s) in the system. Clinic user access is noted under each section sub header in this document. A user's clinic type (standard and mobile or third party) will dictate how the clinic users can access vaccination certificates in VAMS. ### Key Considerations: - The recipient’s vaccination certificate only reflects the dose(s) documented in VAMS. - VAMS automatically updates vaccination certificates if healthcare professionals make applicable edits to the recipient vaccination records in VAMS. ## Standard and Mobile Clinics ### During a Vaccination Appointment *Healthcare Professionals* - After clicking **Submit** on the final screen of the vaccine administration flow, an alert will appear, notifying you when the recipient is eligible to receive their next dose of COVID-19 vaccine, if applicable. - To **View** the vaccination certificate, click the **Hyperlinked Text** on the **Confirmation** page. - To generate a PDF of and/or print the vaccination certificate, click the **Print** icon. ### After a Vaccination Appointment – *Option 1* *Healthcare Professionals* - Click **Search Past Vaccinations** on the **Recipient Management** tab - Search for the recipient using one of two search options: - Enter **one** of these fields: email address or VAMS ID, **OR** - Enter **all** these fields: first name, last name, and date of birth. - Once you've found the correct recipient, click their **Name** in the **Search Results** table to advance to the recipient record. **NOTE**: Clicking **View Record** will take you to the vaccination record. - To view the vaccination certificate, click the **Hyperlinked Text** in the **Appointment Selection** section below the recipient's date of birth. - To generate a PDF of and/or print the vaccination certificate, click the **Print** icon. ### After a Vaccination Appointment – *Option 2* *Users with **both** Clinic Administrator and Healthcare Professional roles assigned in VAMS* - Click the **Clinic Data** tab. - Under **Vaccination Administration Report**, click the **Time Frame** needed to access your desired recipient record. **NOTE**: Once in the Vaccination Administration Report, you can edit your time frame by clicking the **Filter** icon, **Date Administered**, then changing the range to your desired time frame. - Click the **View Details** link within the recipient record you want to access. - Once in the recipient record, click **View Vaccination Certificate**. - To generate a PDF of and/or print the vaccination certificate, click the **Print** icon. ## Third-Party Clinics ### During a Vaccination Appointment *Healthcare Professionals* - After clicking **Submit** on the final screen of the vaccine administration flow, an alert will appear, notifying you when the recipient is eligible to receive their next dose of COVID-19 vaccine, if applicable. - To access the vaccination certificate, **Click** the **Hyperlinked Text** on the **Confirmation** page. - To generate the PDF of and/or print the vaccination certificate, click the **Print** icon. ### After a Vaccination Appointment *Healthcare Professionals* - On the **Recipient Management** tab, click the **Recipient Record** you want to access. - Once in the recipient record, click **View Vaccination Certificate**. - To generate the PDF of and/or print the vaccination certificate, click the **Print** icon. ### VAMS Help Desk Contact Information For additional support, complete the contact form for the [VAMS Help Desk](https://cdc-cars-helpdesk.my.site.com/cdcwebform/s/). **Toll-Free Number** \| +1 833-489-0734 **Email:** [CARS\_HelpDesk@cdc.gov](mailto:CARS_HelpDesk@cdc.gov) **Hours of Operation** \| 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM EST \| Monday – Friday Mar. 4, 2026
