New app from Maine CDC allows digital access to vaccine records

MAINE (WMTW) – The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention has launched a new mobile app called Docket.

The app allows Mainers to securely access their vaccine records.

“Docket can be used to share immunization records with health care providers, for school or child care registration, or as a reminder for Maine people about vaccinations that they are due to receive,” said Maine CDC Director Dr. Putheiry Va. “With schools starting, weather getting cooler, and respiratory virus season upon us, this new app makes it easier and faster for Maine people to put their hands on their up-to-date vaccination records right when they need them.”

The Docket app is free and can be downloaded on Apple and Android app stores.

You must be at least 18 years old to use Docket. Parents or guardians can get access to vaccine records for minors.

The Maine CDC says there has been an increasingly high demand for access to vaccine records in the last several years.

So far this year, the Maine CDC has received over 3,000 requests for immunization records.

For comparison, there were only 111 requests in 2019.

There is also a Docket website where you can verify your identity and access your records.

Hard copies of vaccine records can still be requested through a health care provider’s office.
