Vaccination clinics have closed for the season. Fall offerings will be posted in early August. The current political landscape may mean it’s more difficult to access the COVID vaccine this fall. We will try to post current information on the availability of this vaccine as it is announced. It will be very important to check with your insurer to make sure they will cover the cost of the vaccine before receiving it.
Free parking is available for non-BSU community members. Email us at publichealth@boisestate.edu for the parking code.

How do I access my vaccination records?
Individuals who were vaccinated in Idaho can view, download, and share their immunization records from Idaho’s Immunization Reminder Information System (IRIS) using a health record mobile app called Docket®. To learn more about electronically accessing your vaccination information and Docket®, please visit the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare’s Immunization Records page. You cannot receive a copy of a vaccination from this app/website if your vaccination was administered in another state. If Docket does not work for you, you can receive an emailed copy of your vaccine record. Please email publichealth@boisestate.edu and provide the following information:
- the full name of the person whose record is being requested
- student or employee ID number if applicable
- mailing address used when registering for the vaccination to be used as identification verification
- a copy of the following acknowledgment statement: I acknowledge that communications via email over the Internet are not secure and that although it is unlikely, there is a possibility that information I include in this email can be intercepted and read by other parties besides the person to whom it is addressed.
