​Looking out for your child's total health and wellness includes keeping them up to date on preventative immunizations, allowing them to be their best self every day. Vaccinations are required for children to attend school in Pennsylvania. The new regulations took effect at the start of the 2017/18 school year.
A record of immunizations is maintained for each student. If your child receives additional immunizations, please send this information in to your school nurse so the school record can be kept up to date.
If you are in need of any immunizations, and are unable to obtain the immunization from your physician, you can contact the Washington County State Health Center:
