Do you know which immunizations your child needs?

School starts August 23!  Do you know which immunizations your child needs?

Here is an updated list of immunizations required by VAISD prior to the first day of class:

Texas State Immunization Requirements

Immunizations must be validated by physician office or health clinic personnel, and must show month, day and year received.

Grayson County Health Department offers low-cost immunizations in Denison (903 465-2878) or Sherman (903 893-0131).  Call ahead for immunization clinic hours.

Collin County Health Department also offers immunizations with cost based on income.  Call 972-548-5500 for additional information.

If your child has an affidavit for Vaccine Exemption for Reasons of Conscience, it is valid for one year and the updated copy must be on file in the health clinic.  For more information see the DSHS FAQ page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your school nurse.
