Minimum State Immunization Requirements

The Texas Administrative Code Title 25 Health Services Part 1 Department of State Health Services Chapter 97 Communicable Diseases requires that all students show acceptable evidence of vaccination prior to entry, attendance, or transfer to a child-care facility or public or private school or remain in school. If you have questions regarding current immunization requirements for students in Texas schools, please refer to the following website: http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/immunize/school/default.shtm or ask your School Nurse. Immunization records are vital records that your child will need over a lifetime. Texas immunization requirements change periodically. Always bring your child’s immunization records to appointments.

 

**Your student is not compliant with their vaccine requirements. Please have your student vaccinated as soon as possible. The ‘X’ marks the needed vaccine(s).  Please bring an updated copy of your child’s immunization record to your school nurse.
