IMMUNIZATION AND VACCINATION

• See Board Policy FFAB (Local) in the Board Policy Manual

• See Immunization Requirements posted online at http://www.irvingisd.net/health/immunization.htm

Texas law requires that all children entering public or private schools and institutions of higher learning be immunized.

Validation of immunization records by a physician or public health clinic will be required for entering school.  Any new enrollees who have not completed all immunizations at the time of enrollment must complete them as soon as medically feasible.  Any document signed by a physician or the public health clinic listing each immunization and the month, day, and year in which it was given will be accepted.
