Change in Immunization Recordkeeping

As we move to this system, you may be asked for more information about your child’s vaccination history. If your child is missing vaccines in the system, we may ask for a copy of their immunization record and may be able to assist in getting those vaccination records entered into the online system.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact your student's school nurse.
