Immunization requirements recently changed (July 21, 2021) for all Virginia school-age students. The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) requires immunizations of school age students at key milestones such as before starting pre-K, kindergarten, 7^th grade, and 12^th grade. Parents and guardians are asked to work with their healthcare providers to ensure students are up to date this summer.  Proof of immunizations must be shown at your child’s zoned school before the start of school this fall. Review the VDH’s full school and day care immunization requirements (English / Spanish). Please note, anyone “new to Virginia” may need added vaccinations to have students ready to start school this fall.
