Thank you to the Civic Foundation
The NSHD maintains an immunization program to prevent and control vaccine-preventable diseases. Under this program, the NSHD provides immunizations to children without medical insurance and to private payers. The NSHD offers five immunization clinics each month for residents. Additionally, the NSHD works with families, schools, and day care providers to ensure enrolled children are up-to-date on their immunizations and compliant with the Wisconsin Immunization Law. We are currently working with the school districts in the North Shore to help their students connect with area healthcare providers or with our public health nurses to be fully immunized. Parents and guardians are encouraged to review their child's immunization record at the Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR). WIR is a secure, Internet-based data system that records and tracks the immunization records of Wisconsin children and adults. Parents can access their child's immunization records as long as the child's social security number or Medicaid ID is entered into WIR.
 
STEPS:
  1. Go to WIR
  2. Once you are in WIR, look for the title Public Immunization Record Access. click on it
  3. Once the page loads, look for registry and click on it
  4. You should see Hot Topics and Public Immunization Record.  Inside Public Immunization Record, click on Public Immunization Record.
  5. The next screen should allow you to type in the first and last name and birth date of your child
  6. Next you will have the option to use either your child's social security number or a Medicaid ID. (Your child's SS# will be blocked from anyone else trying to access WIR)
  7. Once you are done entering your child's information, press Enter;  You should be able to view the immunization record
If you have any difficulties or questions accessing WIR, please feel free to contact us or contact WIR directly at 608-266-1865.
