To attend school, families are required to submit their student’s up-to-date immunization records by the first day. Vaccinations are critical for preventing illness and reducing the dangers that can come with being exposed to certain diseases. Click here for more information and forms, including the full list of required childhood immunizations. If you have not already submitted your child’s immunization records, here is what you need to do now:

    • Make an appointment with your child’s doctor. DC offers resources to help find a health providerif you do not have health insurance. More resources can be found at pedsvax.dc.gov.
    • Have the doctor complete the DC Universal Health Certificate. Your health provider may also provide a different proof of immunization document or an exemption explanation.
    • Submit your immunization paperwork to the main office.
