School Required Immunizations
Parents/guardians are urged to make school vaccinations a priority for school-aged children. Our walk-in immunization clinics get busier as school enrollment approaches, so getting children vaccinated early will save time. Vaccines protect children against infections that can be deadly or cause problems such as blindness and hearing loss.
If your student needs immunizations to return to school, please bring a copy of the letter you received with the student's name and their full vaccination record. Your child’s school may provide the full vaccination record upon request.
