    You may do this in one of three ways. If you were vaccinated by a healthcare provider, you should contact the provider’s office to have your immunization record verified and corrected. If you were vaccinated at a site that remains open, you can return to that site and request a correction from the clinic supervisor. If the site where you were vaccinated is now closed, you can email waiisrecords@doh.wa.gov to request assistance.
