Immunizations are the most effective way to protect your child from serious illness and prevent them from missing school and other activities because they are sick. By ensuring your child is vaccinated, you not only protect them but also stop the spread of illness in schools and communities.

Parents of students entering kindergarten, 7th grade, and 12th grade should be aware of the Virginia immunization requirements.
