Immunizations

State law requires children to be immunized against certain vaccine-preventable diseases to attend school in Texas. Getting your child vaccinated protects your child's health and that of the community. 

Students cannot go to school without the appropriate documentation for the required vaccines or a valid medical or conscientious exemption. This is required in order to find out a student’s teacher at Elementary Meet the Teacher Night or to access his or her class schedule at secondary schools.

Please note required vaccines, including the doses required, may vary in Texas from other states/countries. Depending on your child’s grade level, updated immunization records may be necessary for your child to start the new school year. 

Required Vaccines

Exclusions from Immunization Requirements

State law describes the conditions under which individuals can seek exemptions from Texas immunization requirements. Exclusions from compliance are allowable on an individual basis for medical contraindications, active duty with the armed forces of the United States, and reasons of conscience, including a religious belief.
