- Docket Mobile App: Minnesotans can now easily access their immunization records through their smartphones or other mobile devices by using an app called Docket.
With Docket, users can see their immunization history from Minnesota Immunization Information Connection (MIIC), check what vaccines they or their family may need in the future, and share immunization records for health, school, travel, and other purposes.
Download the free app by searching “Docket” on the Apple App Store or Google Play. Or, go to Docket to download the app.
If you cannot access your or your family's immunization records through the Docket App, it may be because of incorrect information in MIIC, such as spelling, other names, old records, missing phone number or email, etc. You can:
- Contact your health care provider to update contact information on your MIIC Immunization record.
- Complete a MIIC Immunization Record Update Request. Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) staff will review the form and update the contact information on the MIIC immunization record. If staff are unable to find a MIIC record, they will contact you. Requests will be processed in the order they are received.
- More information can be found on the MDH Website.
- Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Approval of the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine: The Pfizer vaccine is now approved for Americans 16 years of age and older. The vaccine continues to be available to Americans between 12 and 15 years of age under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). Two other vaccines – the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine and the two-dose Moderna vaccine – are authorized for Americans 18 years of age and older. FDA is continuing its review and approval process for these two vaccines as well as for use of Pfizer in people younger than 16.
- Additional Dose for Immune Compromised: The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted August 13, 2021, to recommend an additional dose of Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine for patients that are moderately to severely immunocompromised.
Our public health vaccine clinics are unable to administer third dose vaccines for those that are moderately to severely immunocompromised. People should discuss with their health care provider on receiving another dose of COVID-19 vaccine as part of their primary series.
Additional information, including more specific details about moderate and severe immunocompromising conditions and considerations for vaccination can be found on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)Website.
- Booster Dose: The federal government announced plans to provide COVID-19 booster shots for U.S. Adults beginning the week of September 20, 2021- Pending Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and ACIP Approval.
The current plan is that booster doses would be given eight months after the date of the second dose.
The Minnesota Department of Health do not have full details yet of this program and encourages patience amongst Minnesotans.
