Immunizations

Subject to the exceptions in §38.001(c), a student is required to be fully immunized against certain diseases. However, under §38.001 a student may be provisionally admitted if the student has begun the required immunizations and continues to receive the necessary immunizations as rapidly as medically feasible. Except as provided by §38.001(c), a student who is not fully immunized and has not begun the required immunizations may not attend school.

For further information regarding immunization requirements, immunization exemptions, and immunization documentation, please contact DSHS.

Information on Texas Minimum State Vaccine Requirements for Students Grades K-12 is available here.
