HB 1059, also known as the Emily
Lastinger Act, requires school districts that maintain a website to post
the list of immunization requirements and recommendations in English and
Spanish. In an effort to align the mandated information in a
user-friendly format that can be easily linked to any ISD website, the
DSHS Immunization Branch has updated the Immunization Requirements web
page. Some of the items found in the new web page include a listing of
the required immunizations for school attendance for SY 07-08 and a link
to the 2007 recommended immunization schedule.
In
compliance with HB 1059 Please visit:
