NEW JERSEY – The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) recently announced the launch of a new mobile app, “Docket,” which will provide residents that received their COVID-19 vaccination in the state of New Jersey an easy and convenient way to connect with their COVID-19 immunization records.
Gerry P. Little, a member of the Ocean County Board of Commissioners said, “we are certainly pleased to see that there is an easy solution for residents to access their records if they have lost their vaccination card.”
Commissioner Little is the liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “The Docket app is a great resource for people to have on their smartphone or mobile device to help them quickly and effortlessly access their COVID-19 immunization record within a matter of minutes,” he added.
The Docket app, approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), connects people directly to the New Jersey Immunization Information System (NJIIS). NJIIS securely captures an individual’s name, phone number, and demographic details at the time of immunization. This data will allow individuals who were vaccinated in the state of New Jersey to access their COVID-19 vaccination information almost instantaneously, through the app.
Residents can download free from the Google Play/Android and Apple app stores.
Those with an email or phone number on file with NJIIS can easily download a PDF copy of their COVID-19 vaccination. However, if you received your COVID-19 vaccine out of state you may not be able to access your records through the app at this time. NJDOH is currently working on obtaining records for residents who were vaccinated in other states/jurisdictions.
“The Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) has been receiving plenty of calls from residents seeking guidance in regard to obtaining COVID-19 immunization records,” Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator/Health Officer said. “The Docket app will be a great resource for our residents to access their records electronically.”
