Mississippi · Immunization Records

Mississippi school immunization records:
which ones you need and how to have them ready.

Mississippi requires documented immunizations for every child entering school, Head Start, or daycare under Miss. Code §41-23-37. Mississippi uses Form 121 (Certificate of Immunization Compliance) as the official proof — and you can now print it online through MyIR. Here is exactly what's required, how to access your records, and what to do if anything is missing.

The Requirements

Immunizations Mississippi schools require

Required for school and daycare entry

Additional for middle/high school

Mississippi follows the CDC recommended childhood immunization schedule for determining which vaccines and how many doses are required at each age. The specific dose count depends on your child's age at enrollment.

How to Access Records

MyIR — Mississippi's online immunization registry

MyIR is the online portal maintained by the Mississippi State Department of Health that lets parents view immunization records and print Form 121 (Certificate of Immunization Compliance) — the document Mississippi schools require.

How to get your child's records through MyIR

1

Create a MyIR account

Visit myirmobile.com, select Mississippi, and register with your name, email, and a password. Verify your account by phone or email.

2

Find your child's records

Use "Find My Records" and enter your child's personal information. If it matches the MSDH immunization registry, you'll see their immunization history, any outstanding doses needed, and the option to download Form 121.

3

Print Form 121

If your child is up to date on immunizations, download and print Form 121 directly from MyIR. This is the certified document Mississippi schools accept for enrollment — no trip to the health department needed.

Records not found? If MyIR can't match your child's information, use the green chat bubble on the MyIR website or call the MSDH Immunization Office at 601-576-7751. Out-of-state records don't auto-transfer to Mississippi's registry — bring them to your new Mississippi provider. (Source: MSDH — MyIR, accessed Sept 1, 2026)
What If Records Are Missing?

Gaps, catch-up, and Form 121

Mississippi schools require Form 121 — the Certificate of Immunization Compliance. Without it, a child cannot attend school. If your child is behind on immunizations:

Family Stork

Every person gets one health story, and one private Family Stork email address every clinic already knows how to use.

Mississippi's Form 121 requirement, county health department visits, and immunization records scattered across Jackson, Gulfport, Hattiesburg, or wherever life has taken your family. Family Stork keeps your child's entire vaccination history organized in one place.

Give any clinic your child's private @families.familystork.com address. They send vaccine records and visit summaries — the health timeline builds itself. When the school asks for documentation, you open one app and hand over a complete record.

Exemptions

Medical and religious exemptions

Mississippi recognizes medical exemptions and religious exemptions from school immunization requirements. Both require formal application through the Mississippi State Department of Health:

Only the Certificate of Medical/Religious Exemption (Form 122), signed by the State Epidemiologist or Deputy State Epidemiologist, constitutes official proof of exemption. Children with exemptions may be excluded from school during a disease outbreak.

One health story. One email address every clinic already knows how to use.

Give any Mississippi clinic your child's private @familystork address. They send records; the timeline builds itself. No portal logins, no uploads, nothing for the clinic to learn.
