Back-to-School Immunizations: What Families Need to Know
School’s almost back in session, so now’s a great time to check that your child’s vaccinations are up to date. Washington State law requires students in school, preschool, or childcare to provide proof of required vaccinations, or proof of immunity, before they can enroll.
Staying current not only protects your child, it also helps our entire community remain healthier.
