The state Department of Health has launched the SMART Health Card website, a free online service for individuals 18 years or older to receive their official vaccination records.
The SMART Health Card is a digital record of patients’ vaccinations that were successfully submitted to the Hawaii Immunization Registry by their health care providers, which can be easily accessed via a web portal, according to a DOH news release Wednesday.
Patients may generate a QR code for only their COVID-19 vaccinations to save on their smartphone’s digital wallet application (such as Apple Wallet and Health for iOS, Google Wallet or Samsung Wallet for Android) to share with organizations they choose.
If patients do not have COVID-19 vaccinations, they will still be able to view online a list of vaccinations they have received in Hawaii submitted by their health care provider.
To access their records, patients should:
• Go to the DOH SMART Health Card website at healthpass.doh.hawaii.gov/.
• Create a new ID.me account or use an existing account. New ID.me users will go through an identity verification process where they will enter their personal information and upload a photo of their government-issued ID.
• Confirm their consent to allow ID.me to transmit to DOH only the necessary information needed to match their records in the registry.
• Wait for an email in five to 10 business days while DOH staff finds their record in the registry. When their records pass the data check, patients will receive an email notification that their SMART Health Card is ready. Click on the “Get my SMART Health Card” and immunization records will be displayed.
• Click on the “Generate QR Code” to get your QR code if their immunization records contain COVID-19 vaccinations. Instructions on how to save the QR code into smartphones are available on the SMART Health Card website.
The SMART Health Card website uses the ID.me service to verify the patient’s identity. ID.me will require the patient’s social security number or individual taxpayer identification number to verify the identity of their users, but DOH will not receive this information, the department said. DOH receives only the information necessary to find a patient’s immunization record in the registry, including patient name, date of birth, address, email address and phone number.
To obtain vaccination records for individuals under 18 years old, contact the Immunization Registry directly via phone at 888-447-1023 for the Neighbor Islands or (808) 586-4665 for (Oahu), or via email at registryhelp@doh.hawaii.gov.
