How To Schedule Vaccines

Some annual vaccines, such as the annual flu shot and COVID booster, can be received at your local pharmacy.

However, your primary care provider can also help you get the needed vaccines. This includes vaccines given on an age-based schedule like measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), the polio vaccine, and chicken pox (varicella).

Your primary care provider can also help you get vaccines as needed for travel plans or life circumstances, such as for malaria, dengue, and mpox.

You can schedule an appointment at a pharmacy here or make an appointment with a primary care provider here.
 

Catching Up?
Primary care providers typically recommend childhood vaccines for children and adolescents according to the American Academy of Pediatrics’ (AAP) recommended schedule by age. For adult vaccination, we follow guidance set by medical associations such as the American Academy of Family Physicians. The recommended childhood vaccination schedule can be found here. If you, or your child, did not follow the typical schedule and would like to catch up, you should discuss with your primary care provider.
 

Get Your Records
Depending on where you received your vaccines, you may be able to access your vaccination records through MyChart under the Health Summary section. If you live in Minnesota, you can also check the Minnesota Immunization Information Connection (MIIC), a state resource which compiles vaccination records in one place. Information on MIIC can be found here. If you live in Wisconsin, you can check the Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR).
