FAQ: Vaccine Management System (VMS)

Access the Vaccine Management System (VMS) here: https://vms.jh.edu

When you log into VMS, your “My Vaccines” screen will display any alerts, your vaccine history, as well as status. Your status will be Verified (green), Awaiting verification (yellow), or Problem verifying (red). 

If you received your vaccine at a Johns Hopkins location, your documentation is automatically in the system. You do not need to do anything further. 

If you received your COVID vaccine elsewhere, your documentation can be a photo of your CDC COVID-19 vaccination record card, a pharmacy receipt, or a document from an official source such as your health care provider. Step-by-step instructions for uploading your COVID vaccine proof appear in the Submit Your COVID Vaccine Documentation tutorial.

If you received your vaccine at a Johns Hopkins location or used a voucher at Walgreens, your documentation is automatically in the system. You do not need to do anything further. Note: Voucher usage will be updated in VMS within 24 hours.

If you received your flu vaccine elsewhere (except using a voucher at Walgreens), your documentation can be a pharmacy receipt, a document from an official source such as your health care provider, or a screenshot of your ImmuNet vaccination record. Step-by-step instructions for uploading your flu vaccine proof appear in the Submit Your Flu Vaccine Documentation tutorial.

For a list of dates and locations for on-campus flu vaccination clinics, visit the Johns Hopkins Flu Campaign information page.

Flu shots are also available at no cost for Johns Hopkins employees at Walgreens, using a voucher (download from VMS).
