• A student shall show acceptable evidence of vaccination prior to entry, attendance, or transfer to a child-care facility or public or private elementary or secondary school in Texas. For complete immunization requirements, contact your campus nurse.  

    Please ensure that your student's campus nurse has the most current immunization record for your child. Often, students are up-to-date on vaccinations, but the record is not shared with the school, resulting in non-compliant immunization notifications.
