VaxViewNM is a free secure internet portal that accesses the immunization registry run by the New Mexico Department of Health. Every time a child or adult gets a vaccine, it is recorded in the registry’s database.

All health care providers in the state are required to report every immunizations to the New Mexico Statewide Immunization Information System (NMSIIS). Patients and guardians who want to opt-out of the registry must ask for an exemption.

You can find a list of school-required vaccines and exemption forms in English and Spanish on the New Mexico Department of Health website.
